Druva - Back up to the cloud with this all around backup solution.
Pros
- The best part about Druva is that you deploy, which is fairly easy especially with your technical rep being available for the whole process, and then you let the system do your work. If a backup fails I get a report, there is no need to check it every day or even weekly.
- The file server backup is great. Searching is easy and the capability to pull back a full folder or individual file makes life a lot easier to support my end users.
Cons
- One piece of functionality that I would like to see enhanced is the file server back up search to include folder search. File search is available to restore, but folder recovery requires you to drill down into the location of the folder to restore.
Return on Investment
- As I earlier stated Druva is a product that does not require much maintenance. I do not have to go in and check my backups often. This has saved myself and the company a lot of time.
- Unlike other products that we looked in to, Druva is a credit based system, meaning you pa for what you use and not a high priced license fee where your data is capped or if you do not use its potential you feel like you paid for something you did not fully use.

Druva Phoenix: The Right Stuff
Pros
- The global deduplication of data technology helps our data storage go 10x further than other solutions.
- Easy to install and get your first backups going
- Easy to restore previous versions of files
Cons
- We haven't had trouble running the client on unsupported versions of CentOS, but we would like them to keep up as we won't sacrifice VM security because of the backup solution.
Return on Investment
- The cost of Druva Phoenix is negligible compared to the security of knowing if you're down. You have a way to recover quickly.

Phoenix is like insurance, better if you don't have to use it, but if you have to use it, thank God you bought it. Priceless!
Pros
- Data safety.
- Critical failures do not paralyze the company.
- "Restful sleep."
Cons
- A clearer description of how it works.
- Lower price.
- Simple price list.
Return on Investment
- It is like insurance, better if you don't have to use it, but if you have to, you have a place to retrieve your data. Priceless.

Druva Phoenix - great cloud based backup
Pros
- Easy to deploy - Druva are a great company to deal with, and will help get things running, but like their other products, Phoenix is not difficult to implement if you know your stuff.
- Great de-duplication - backups are deduped across the entire estate, leading to very efficient storage usage.
- Phoenix is fast - backups complete quickly, even initial full backups are quick, relative to their size.
Cons
- The UI is good, but a bit inconsistent. Some types of backups are shown differently to others. It never gets in the way, but a bit more consistency would be good.
- The system is usage based, which is understandable, but a shock after using inSync, their other backup product, which is not. Careful planning and thought is needed if you are on a tight budget
Return on Investment
- Removed the need to upgrade our on-prem storage for Veeam.
- Provided cloud-native backup and restore, removing the reliance on our own backup hardware.
