Adam's Druva review for Build Group
What do you like best about the product?
The easy management through the centralized web console is really nice. Also, the alert emails for any missed backups or errors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there's nothing I really dislike about this product. It's very easy to use and has saved us several times when we had laptops stolen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a construction company, so we have users with laptops all over the place. Having a centralized management console to track all backups is great and all the end users need is an Internet connection.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend trying this out for an off-site backup solution. We use this along with their Phoenix product to cover the server end. Couldn't be happier with either product, great support when needed as well.
Systems Administrator
What do you like best about the product?
there are many nice features, the main thing is that it works without much attention.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like the process of adding new users be changed so that a user would have to explicitly add their Druva account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basic backup.
Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
I like that we now do not have to worry about end users losing their data if they suffer from a catastrophic hardware failure.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that when migrating users over to a new computer that the first time you open Druva, that it would automatically log in with the logged in user and authenticate against AD instead of having to enter in their email and password manually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our two primary purposes for Druva was to secure end user data and to use it for migration purposes when we upgrade or replace their workstations. Albeit a small benefit, Druva migrates over a lot of custom settings that the end user has set.

Druva Phoenix Cloud Backups
one of life's... ok, AWS' ... little life savers
awesome scheduling software, with tons of options and flexibility. Also great customer support!! Did I mention, fair pricing?
Kudos to the team and looking forward to the future enhancements!
Loved your receptivity and customer engagement!
CloudRanger
CloudRanger is an application which is extremely valuable to every Operations team to ensure a smooth backup of AWS instances and can help reduce costs by shutting down servers on schedule.
CloudRanger is easy to deploy and maintain and comes highly recommended.
An excellent addition for SMBs
It helps to solve a pain point in the Amazon Web Services architecture by allowing for the ability to automate the creation of Server snapshots (amongst other things) - this process has been both quite time consuming and finicky in the past. It is lightweight, cost effective and dynamic, and as the owner of an established tech SMB, this is exactly what we need - the competition is somewhat complex and over-egged. We will continue to use Cloudranger as part of our infrastructure management for the foreseeable future. Excellent service.
Fantastic product - would highly recommend
For the last few months, we've been using CloudRanger to automatically snapshot and rotate our EBS volumes by tag, as well as terminate servers at night when workloads are low. This has proven incredibly valuable for us as we lower costs and get assurance through automated tasks such as backups. No more cron - and no more worrying whether the cron has worked!
