Cloud backup has reduced storage costs and now delivers fast, reliable data recovery
My overall experience in this field is seven years. The deployment model I have chosen for Druva Phoenix is mostly cloud-based backup. Government authorities and government customers majorly opt for on-premises deployment, but we have a very limited customer segment from that area. Druva Phoenix primarily operates on a private cloud, with some customers utilizing hybrid cloud solutions. If I assess the effectiveness of backup features in Druva Phoenix, particularly in minimizing operational disruptions, I would rate it as a very strong 9 or 9.5 on a scale of 10. I am not using Druva Data Security Cloud. My overall review rating for Druva Phoenix is 9.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product is a good anti-ransomware solution."
"What I like best about Acronis Backup Cloud is the active protection feature that helps you protect your workload from ransomware attacks."
"The ease of implementation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The product offers a user-friendly dashboard and a seamless backup process"
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud has very easy backup and recovery capabilities."
"Technical support is great."
"We like the backup functionality."
"One of the best benefits of using Acronis is that it also provides data security along with the backup of data. It checks everything, and that's the main benefit of using Acronis"
"One of the best features in Druva Phoenix for me personally is that it is an air-gapped environment, where you can keep cloud backup on a separate air-gapped environment and save from any kind of ransomware attack, and it is a ransomware safer environment because a customer gets a separate environment."
"It's patch-based, so you don't have to bother about the backup server or the repository."
"I found the cost-effectiveness of Druva Phoenix to be its most valuable feature, especially when compared to on-premises backup solutions."
"Druva Phoenix is easy to use and easy to start with."
"I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%."
"Once you set it up and you tell it exactly what needs to be backed up, you literally forget about it. It sends you emails and notifications of the current status of the jobs."
"The best features of Druva Phoenix include comprehensive backup capabilities where you can back up your data with agent plus backup, deploy the proxy, and integrate your VMs to take your backup."
"Druva Phoenix provides a return on investment and operational cost reductions after implementation."
 

Cons

"Advanced backup is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The solution is expensive."
"We'd like to see more integration for Nutanix, Oracle, et cetera."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly."
"I would like to see enhancements made to the security."
"Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing."
"I would like to have support for agentless backup, where you don't have to install an agent on the host."
"I would like to see more mature XDR and EDR features."
"They were able to give us a very reasonable price considering we were non-for-profit organizations, however, there is always room for improvement on that cost."
"Druva Phoenix is optimized to work with x86 platforms, making it unsuitable for backing up non-x86 architectures like AIX. The solution is primarily designed for physical Linux and Windows systems based on the x86 architecture, as well as virtualized Windows and Linux environments. However, if you have an AIX system, it cannot be deployed in the cloud, and therefore, backing it up in the cloud is not a concern."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix."
"The product's pricing needs to be improved."
"The ransomware features are limited in Druva. There's a lot of improvement needed. It should extend to Nutanix and Hyper-V. It should extend to Azure as well."
"Druva Phoenix should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently."
"Deploying it in a hybrid cloud model involves some minor complexities, though nothing represents a significant challenge."
"They were very much responsive a few years back, but in the last one or two years, I believe the responsiveness has gone down."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we tested the scenario for over 20 employees, the cost was much lower than the other solutions in the market."
"The solution is moderately priced."
"It is not a cheap product."
"I have been using pay as you go with Acronis, so the price is good.​"
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"The solution is a bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
"The product is not that expensive, making it a product that can be considered for purchase. I rate the product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap."
"There is a free trial available in order for people to evaluate it."
"Druva Phoenix's pricing is based on the service provided, and it's reasonable. The cost of the service will depend on the size of your data and the number of virtual machines being backed up. However, the pricing structure is straightforward and easy to understand."
"It's very costly. Normal people wouldn't understand how their credits are calculated. It's pretty complex."
"I assume clients use Druva Phoenix because it is cheaper than other products."
"We’ve had experience with the data center for a while and we have had solutions that were able to support older versions of the operating systems that we needed. I would like for Druva to support it as well."
