Druva Data Security Cloud - Backup and Recovery [Private Offer Only]
Centralized data protection has simplified diverse workloads and supports strong governance
What is our primary use case?
We are using Druva Data Security Cloud for ourselves as well as our customers, both.
What is most valuable?
I think the biggest advantage of Druva Data Security Cloud is that it has one console for almost all the various workloads.
We use Druva's centralized management console for server backup, endpoint backups, and M365.
AI-driven analytics in Druva Data Security Cloud is really adding overall speed to the kind of work being done, but we are in a slightly early stage of that.
I would assess Druva's compliance and governance capabilities in meeting industry regulations as fantastic, and I think they are doing fantastically well.
When talking about long-term governance in Druva Data Security Cloud, the legal hold is something which they have that is fantastic, and the way we can search and federate the search is good for us.
I have utilized Druva's automated backup and recovery workflows.
It is more about the kind of overall performance Druva Data Security Cloud brings to a large number of people who are even remotely connected, and it can do fantastic fast backups with incremental data, much better than some other solutions like Veeam.
What needs improvement?
I think Druva's deduplication technology is great, but the way they charge for source storage means the storage size can suddenly become much larger, and I would have been much happier if they were to give deduplication advantages on endpoints and M365 as well, which they don't.
I think the best improvement Druva could make is better training for customers and partners, as their on-ground support from a technology point of view is much better with Veeam and Commvault than with Druva.
There is room for improvement in their response time and first-level support quality, as some changes are happening in the team in India, which might be the reason for this.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Druva Data Security Cloud for three years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
What I mean by multiple workloads is that Druva doesn't provide support for Kubernetes or anything on-prem, so I can't keep a copy of my work on-prem, which makes things simpler and easier with Commvault and Veeam, as I can have hybrid setups. I am also not too sure about their capability on higher-end workloads like SAP.
How are customer service and support?
I would rate their technical support an eight.
I can give them a rating of possibly nine on support, with my name attached, but let the support be nine.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We use Commvault, Veeam, Druva, all of them, but I am not working with Cloud Rewind by Commvault or Appranix.
I think the cloud is called Cloud Metallica if I know it well, but I am not working with Cloud Rewind by Commvault.
Acronis is similar to Cloud Rewind or formerly Appranix, also by Commvault, but I'm not certain.
I might have been using Appranix earlier, but I am not 100% sure.
I am working with Commvault Cloud and Druva, and we also use Veeam.
What other advice do I have?
Druva's pricing has been a little bit on the higher side of late.
I rate Druva Data Security Cloud an eight because I think there is still scope for improvement in terms of the number of workloads on the server side.

Data protection has strengthened compliance and restores data across endpoints in minutes
What is our primary use case?
With data protection and regulatory compliance being critical and non-negotiable in our organization, we use Druva as an important component of our data resilience and protection strategy. The scope of the use includes safeguarding endpoints, cloud, and app data across our organization.
How has it helped my organization?
We have enhanced data security and detection. We have also realized time savings, as restore takes me three minutes tops.
What is most valuable?
It is easy to restore data. Backups are simple, and the customer support is responsive.
What needs improvement?
The solution should allow non-IT users to be able to search more specifically.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have used the solution for three years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I used Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 before. With Druva, backups are simple and save time, as it only takes three minutes most times.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost is relatively very affordable even for smaller sized companies.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I considered Barracuda Email Protection.
What other advice do I have?
The onboarding process took one hour, and everything has since worked great.
