Reliable, Low-Maintenance Backups with Helpful Quarterly Check-Ins
What do you like best about the product?
It works well. Once jobs are set there is very little need for intervention. We only have a few job errors throughout the year and usually not caused by Druva. I also appreciate the quarterly check-ins to make sure our account is running smoothly and we are informed of new features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only complaint I can think of is that Druva cannot backup a Hyper-V VM stored on a host that is part of a cluster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backing up our servers, endpoints and Microsoft cloud applications. It also adds another layer of security by ensuring our backups are not compromised. If they are, we have features that make restores less painful.
Effortless Security with Seamless Integration

I like that Druva Data Security Cloud is really easy to use with straightforward products. The ease of integration of all the tooling works really well, which saves us a lot of time and effort, especially for a small team like ours. It's a huge benefit that it limits the amount of work we have to do. The setup was very easy, and the team at Druva is quick to respond and help, showing they really know what they're doing.
What do you dislike about the product?
No we are happy with the service. We recommend it to others.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Druva Data Security Cloud gives us added security to meet compliance requirements, integrates easily, and limits our work, which is a huge benefit for a small team.
Easy-to-Manage Backups with Clear Reporting and Good Support
What do you like best about the product?
We’ve been using Druva for about 2.5 years in our K-12 school district (around 4,200 students), mainly to back up our on-prem VMware environment and file servers.
The biggest improvement for us was moving off our older Dell backup system. It was hard to use and never felt very reliable. Druva has been much more consistent and easier to manage. The console is clean, the reporting is clear, and it’s easy to check backup status without digging through a bunch of menus.
I also really like how simple file-level restores are. If someone deletes a file or needs something recovered, I don’t have to restore an entire VM just to grab one item. That saves a lot of time.
We did have backup proxy failures twice a little after initial deployment, but support and documentation helped us get it resolved. It hasn’t happened in quite a while and the system has been stable for the past couple of years. Support has been professional whenever we’ve needed them. Our Customer Success Manager has also been proactive — they reached out when we were trending high on credit usage and helped us optimize things. We were able to lower our usage and may even end up with a surplus, which is important in a school district with tight budgets.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only real issue we ran into was the backup proxy failures early on, shortly after deployment. It took some troubleshooting with support to get fully resolved, but once it was addressed, it hasn’t been a recurring problem.
Since then, it’s been pretty steady from an operational standpoint.
Since then, it’s been pretty steady from an operational standpoint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Druva gives us reliable, centralized backups for our VMware servers and file shares without having to maintain additional backup hardware on-site.
In a school district environment, protecting staff and administrative data is critical, but we don’t have a large IT team to manage something overly complex. Compared to our previous solution, Druva has simplified backup management and given us better visibility into what’s protected.
We haven’t had to perform a full production restore, but the consistent backups and easy file-level recovery give us confidence in our disaster recovery posture. For a lean IT team supporting thousands of students and staff, that reliability and simplicity go a long way.

A Data Management and Compliance Dream in One Place
What do you like best about the product?
The one place to backup all my different types of data on different platforms and Druva continues to add more features making my backup management so much better than the many other solutions I have used over the past 20 plus years. A single place to go and see all my data. A single place to go to search for files that we must purge. A single place to go trace the other users a file may have been shared with. This has been a win as far as solutions for us and it not just a backup solution, its a data management and compliance dream.
