Excellent VMWare backup solution with tested restore process
What do you like best about the product?
I specifically use Druva for VMWare vCenter, though it can also be used without vCenter, i.e. directly on ESXI hosts. I like the simple and straightforward setup of Druva proxies. The restore process is not perfect but pretty close (much better than other solutions). Druva also offers the ability to use multiple proxy VM's for increased redundancy. Lastly, these proxy VM's are prebuilt by Druva so deployment is very quick.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost if obviously a fairly big pain point for some organizations. I think Druva is scalable up to a certain level, and then building or buying a backup solution + using S3 buckets becomes more price effective.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backup solution with the ability to make VM's highly transportable.

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of set up and scheduling options. Flexible Proxy server setup on VMware, one-click, enter IP you are done.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sizing the backup space needed, we came close but I think we will adjust it next year for more space, good thing is it's all credit-based, so we are will not have to address it right away.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the main things we were looking for was more flexibility in our backups and the option to restore locations. With the AWS DR option, we can now restore our servers in AWS and not worry about hardware upgrades.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take your time and look at all the options.
Cloud-based backup that adapts well for our remote workforce
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud-based management console, ease of use and deployment, good support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be expensive - always negotiate pricing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have around 100 remote locations across 3 states. Due to the nature of our business, we're required to have backups of all our endpoints. Druva makes deployment and setting up policies simple while backing up to a cloud repository.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best thing is to do a trial yourself and make sure you negotiate pricing - there is always wiggle room!
Druva's been great for us
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity, set and forget. It's not failed any recovery efforts we've needed it for.
What do you dislike about the product?
The onprem version has been flawless for us. For our cloud instance, we've had the occasional support call to re-up storage but support and the account teams have always been great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simplicity of backup for legal hold needs and our road warriors.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the client doesn't like Autopilot deployement
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can't always rely on people to put their data into OneDrive. InSync on selected users to pick up their computers has been a help.
For those that do backup to their OneDrive, we have redundancy in backup

It's worth the time to give it look
I use it for my organization to backup personal workstations with business critical information.
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to manage through the web portal. The cloud portion of it makes it great that we don't have to host anything and it all can be easily managed just by logging in. Also it is fast and up to date. The support and implementation team have also been great. Our account rep Daniel Rodriquez has also been fantastic and has always made sure we have everything we need as a customer. The Druva team overall has been very responsive, courteous and helpful and would definitely recommend them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you were able to be more selective about what to back up on the workstation. It seemed a little difficult to put in logic around what files should be backed up and what shouldn't. Besides that I think it is very user friendly and makes it easy to manage everything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We recently had an employee's machine wiped too soon and we lost critical data. This wouldn't happen again with inSync since we would know have that machine being backed up and would have a restore point in the cloud even if it was wiped physically. Also we have one workstation that we essentially use as a server to host a very small application. Since we are not able to back up this workstation with Phoenix due to it not having a server OS, we can use InSync to back up this workstation and can use this to restore the application should it crash.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would play around with it to see what you can do with the settings and see how it fits with your organization's needs.
Trevor has been incredible for our requirements

What do you dislike about the product?
We had addopted for Cluod backup this year

Druva has resolved the client backup issue.
Moving from another cloud backup solution, this made it a lot easier and more affordable
What do you like best about the product?
Druva Phoenix simple to set up and it has worked for us when we needed it. We moved from another well known cloud backup system that didn't allow us as much control for what we had to back up. Also restoring those back ups were not easy. Druva Phoenix addressed those issues and also it cost us significantly less.
All you have to do is install the client and your server can be backed up for file or whole system recovery.

What do you dislike about the product?
You have to watch your back up storage growth as even with de-duped data, your storage can increase significantly when added to your back up environment. I wish the DRaaS solution was more robust so we could just turn on a downed server in the cloud.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to move away from backing up our servers on site. This was to due to many factors, such as cost of hardware and on site support, limited space to house the hardware and much more. Druva Phoenix solved our problems with a cost effective and secure solution.
