We were able to deploy Druva Security Cloud with ease; it helps to simplify backup management across Microsoft 365, endpoints, and AWS. The UI is clean, and the setup was fast. We especially value the ransomware protection and legal hold features. Furthermore Druva Security Cloud help to reduce our backup cost the administrative tasks.
Pros
Enhanced compliance and legal hold
Enable end users to help themselves
Reduce administrative workload
Cons
The custom report option is limited
There is not enough transparency on pricing
Likelihood to Recommend
When the IT team has lack of resources and expert; Druva Security Cloud provide a fast roll out; intuitive end-user self services hence reduce downtime and free up IT resources
We are using tool as a backup solution, and DR Drill solution where it helps us in migrating ec2, security groups, vpc, nat gateway, internet gateway, route tables, etc. from one region to another region in a quick time by maintaining the same IP address.
Pros
DR Drill solution
Backup solution
Azure integration
Cons
AWS Serverless
Likelihood to Recommend
The major problem is the DR drill which we perform yearly once for the audit and it's very smooth if we do it with the help of Druva Security Cloud. We are also using Druva Security Cloud as a backup solution. Our con with Druva Security Cloud is it still doesn't support serverless and we have raised it multiple times.

Pros
User restoration of backup
Administration
Data Protection
Protection from Ransomeware
Cons
More featured dashboard
Easy to use tabs
Features which can help managing large number of users

Druva Data Resiliency Cloud Endpoint Backup to critical users like Finance, Legal, Senior Management, News Assignment, Since Finance/Legal is an integral part of any organization all data related to invoice, billing and others financial reports are very important and have direct impact on our business.

I am using Druva Data Resiliency Cloud for m365 and Hyper-V Backups. We use this for all user profiles and all business or production critical servers. We can feel confident our data is backed up in case of an emergency.
Pros
Easy to implement
Good reporting on trends of data usage
Likelihood to Recommend
In my opinion, Druva Data Resiliency Cloud is well suited for our Hyper-V Environment. Also our m365 backups were easy to implement and run without issues after initial setup. The restore capabilities are flexible, they are able to restore to a separate Hyper-V server. We find the restores so easy to do that we have even used this to migrate certain machines over the native Hyper-V migration tools.
Cons
User Interface can be tough to learn.
Clearing data used from old backups take time to reflect on the credit burn.
Druva Data Resiliency Cloud is the go-to automatic backup solution for Microsoft 365. User data from email and OneDrive, and common data in Sharepoint sites, is reliably backed up. With Microsoft only providing 30 days of backups, it is a must to add a third party solution like Druva. Restores are simple, and can be delegated for end users to initiate for themselves if desired. Druva is easily scalable by simply adding more seat licenses.
Pros
Automation
Reporting
Security
Likelihood to Recommend
Druva Data Resiliency Cloud is well suited for Microsoft 365 backups and other cloud-based platforms. It may not be a great fit for backing up on-premise resources.
Cons
Restore speeds can improve
Error tracing can be improved
I would prefer that the users' personal Sharepoint could get backed up
Primarily as a cloud backup and recovery tool in conjunction with snapshots for all AWS instances and workspaces in the cloud. Snapshot and AMI are also made with Druva Data Resiliency Cloud on a regular basis, for an immediate file or instance restore. Druva Data Resiliency Cloud also provides a schedule tool for up/downtime and a flexible policy to allow spin-up of resources, capture a backup and then spin down for cost savings.
Pros
File level restore.
EBS backups (separate from ec2-instance).
Offsite regional copies to second region in AWS (i.e. Virginia to Ohio).
AMI base image captures.
Likelihood to Recommend
The scenario best suited for Druva Data Resiliency Cloud in our organization is the single pane of glass feature, where we can view all Druva backup schedules from a single console login. This gives us the ability to also use the Druva/Insync for Office365 SharePoint and One drive backup to save files for compliance and instant recovery from users' office apps location.
Cons
Policy feature could be simplified to allow second copy to offsite easier.
AD setup for Druva Data Resiliency Cloud/Office connector setup requirement for Domain controller side to AWS or Azure Premium Directory service.

Pros

business compliance
Likelihood to Recommend
school, small/large workspace, legal documents gov laptop may be slow to use Druva
Cons

As a company we use Druva across the entire organization on all of our end user machines for corp[orate] back ups. It allows our end user to not have to run their own backups and if a machine gets lost or stolen, the information the end user may have stored will be retrievable even after we remote wipe the laptop.
Pros
Easy to choose what information should be backed up.
It is deployed to end user machines remotely.
Able to set intervals when to run the backup.
Can also set the pause duration between backups.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think that Druva is well suited to running back ups in the background. Once the options have been set, the end user can leave it and let it run. However, there have been some users that have experienced slower response times during the backup process but this usually doesn't happen after the options/settings have been corrected.

We use Druva inSync to protect our user data on PC's as well as M365 cloud, including Sharepoint, Teams, OneDrive and mailboxes. Druva inSync is used company wide, and has been a valuable tool for us.
Pros
Leveraging a backup solution to Microsoft 365 environment can be a time consuming job. With Druva inSync, it can be achieved in minutes.
Although it seems that user's PC backup is thing of the past, since everything is in the cloud nowadays, there still is need for it in certain cases. Druva inSync delivers [an] easily configurable interface for end-user backup, with pre-configured rules.
Likelihood to Recommend
M365 environments are easy to backup with Druva inSync. Notice that recovering data, ex. to Sharepoint 365, can take a long time. Recovered data can also be downloaded to another location, which is useful.
Cons
Speed of recovery to M365 environment could be faster.
