Overall Satisfaction with Druva Data Resiliency Cloud

We use Druva for client and SaaS backups, it addresses the problem of hiring too many IT employees in our team to manage our backup and protection landscape.
It helps us not keeping storage on any hardware that we have to manage ourselves; we just back the data to the Druva client and it sends it to the secure AWS cloud.

Pros

  • The dashboard is intuitive and easy to manage and navigate.
  • It takes very little bandwidth and internet speed to perform both restores and backups.
  • The tech support is available any time of the week, even on off days- so we always get help whenever we require it.
  • Multiple ways of importing users into the Druva platform is impressive and afford flexibility.

Cons

  • Advanced Ransomware Recovery doesn't work for all Druva offerings, that would be a great feature to have.
  • The archiving feature could also offer more price flexibility.
  • Seating up the initial configurations can be a little tedious due to the length of the documentation involved.
  • The backup-related processes have most definitely simplified a lot since everything is automated through the Druva GUI once the initial policies are set up.
  • We have saved a good amount of money by going to the cloud as opposed to managing both IT and hardware resources in-house.
  • The backups and restores are both more secure and quicker now with Druva and the AWS cloud.
Druva in our experience has great potential for scaling up; we have never faced any data or speed-related issues in either adding any devices or apps to our backup environment.
The Druva AWS servers are location in multiple locations around the world and any data we add automatically gets stored on the nearest AWS storage site, which maintains high speed and scalability without causing any bottlenecks.
We evaluated both Druva and Rubrik during our vendor search. What made us choose Druva was the better pricing and quality of features that were vexing offered. It was a great fit for our business need of keeping our backups on-prem.
The proof of concept also went really well with Druva as compared to Rubrik's free trial, it's also a comparatively simpler solution.

Would you buy Druva Security Cloud again?

Yes

Druva is a nice fit for IT teams looking to spend as little time as possible on managing their backups once the initial implementation of backup policies has been performed, it is pretty much a plug and play solution.

Less appropriate maybe for use cases where you don't need the data exiting your office building for compliance or related purposes.
