What is Druva Security Cloud?

Workforce mobility and the rise of cloud services is an essential part of any business, but it creates a number of challenges for IT. Data spread across devices and cloud services, unpredictable schedules, and varied network connections all complicate efforts to protect and govern enterprise information.

The Druva Cloud Platform (formerly Druva inSync & Druva Phoenix) provides unified data protection, management, and information governance across endpoints and cloud applications. Delivered as-a-service, the Druva Cloud Platform aims to simplify backup, archival, compliance, and device management to reduce the cost and complexity of protecting end user data, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve data visibility. With centralized management and self-help data recovery, the vendor states that users' mobile workforces are protected without impacting productivity.

Druva's value proposition:

No hardware, no software

  • Delivered as-a-service means leaving behind on-premises infrastructure, hardware refresh cycles and time consuming software maintenance.


Infinitely scalable
  • Built in the cloud, new capacity can be added to subscriptions on the fly without changes to backup settings, and without needing to purchase and install new appliances or software.

No maintenance windows

  • Druva maintains the data protection solution, not the customer; the platform is always up-to-date with the latest features.

Data Protection That’s Different

  • Druva’s SaaS data protection platform boasts less cost and complexity found in solutions that aren’t built for the cloud, while remaining secure, scalable and always available.

We use Druva for backup up Office 365 items such as email, OneDrive, etc. for all of our users. The problems Druva addresses are both accidental and intentional deletion of data from our users or departed staff. The scope of our use case is organization-wide, so all users are protected from data loss in their Office 365 account.

Pros

  • Ensuring user's data is backed up with snapshots
  • Prompt and clear assistance from Druva support
  • Ease of access into the web portal
  • Providing a view into a snapshot without having to restore it first

Cons

  • The UI could be a little more clear.
  • The SSO setup was a little confusing.
  • The ticket creation procedure could be a little simpler.

Return on Investment

  • Ease of mind knowing our user's Office 365 data is backed up

Vivek Agarwal
AVP IT Services in Information Technology at Religare Finvest Limited (501-1000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's been used across the organization for critical users laptop backup. End users' data which is not on file shares of the organization including flat files & most importantly outlook PST are being backed up. Data backup solutions are like insurance, we pay the premium for years & when there is accident or mishap then we get the claim. Our experience with Druva is excellent, whenever data was required for any user we got the same.

Pros

  • Hastle-free backup management via agent installed on the user's machine.
  • Cloud backup solution so backup happens every time, in office or outside office.
  • PST backup available which is not there in many solutions.
  • Excellent support from DRUVA, I never had an instance where call delayed from Druva support by 1 hour.

Cons

  • Fine tuning of the DRUVA agent as user face performance issues during first full backup.
  • Data restoration for users left is a bit tough procedure, needs to be easy.
  • Cost should be reduced.

Return on Investment

  • Data security.
  • Anywhere Data Restoration available.
  • Critical data availability at organization's fingertips.

Cloud Backups made EASY

Brady YoungView profile
Infrastructure Systems Administrator in Information Technology at EnviroServe (501-1000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Druva Security Cloud to backup and secure our 0365 and Entra ID environment. It keeps our data secure with immutability and makes all the data readily available in case data is accidentally deleted by a user or they need an older version of an email or document. It also helps us restore groups and users in Entra.

Pros

  • Set it and forget it
  • Easy to restore data
  • Support

Cons

  • Permissions within the console for non-IT users
  • Allow non-IT users to be able to search more specifically
  • Backing up more information on devices, specifially bitlocker keys

Return on Investment

  • Time savings. Restore takes me 3 minutes tops. Other platforms takes 30 minutes or more and require babysitting. Druva Security Cloud does not.
  • Backups are so simple. One pane of glass for our entire O365 environment.
  • Backend immutability protects from randsomware.
