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

"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."
"The product offers a user-friendly dashboard and a seamless backup process"
"It provides quick backup recovery."
"The agent, which is installed on the system, can do Quality of Service."
"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"
"I have found many of the backup options valuable such as logging the event backup and the ability to run an analysis of the backup before you start for problems."
"The solution is very easy to use, user-friendly, and offers very easy configuration capabilities with a very simple setup that works well for our purposes."
"The product offers very easy configuration capabilities."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The solution is great for companies that need backup capabilities."
"It's patch-based, so you don't have to bother about the backup server or the repository."
"I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%."
"The most valuable features of Druva Phoenix are the simple portal to log in and flexibility."
"Druva Phoenix provides a return on investment and operational cost reductions after implementation."
"I found the cost-effectiveness of Druva Phoenix to be its most valuable feature, especially when compared to on-premises backup solutions."
"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."
 

Cons

"One of the areas where the product could be improved is its online cloud backup."
"We have used the support and we have been unsatisfied. We do not use it very often but the time we have it was not very smooth."
"I would like to have support for agentless backup, where you don't have to install an agent on the host."
"The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic."
"The solution is expensive."
"Acronis Backup Cloud can improve by having fewer updates and patches to the solution. Additionally, should improve the functions that already exist in the solution rather than add new ones."
"They should integrate the solution with Storage Area Network(SAN)."
"I think the pricing part of the solution is very complicated, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product's pricing needs to be improved."
"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."
"Deploying it in a hybrid cloud model involves some minor complexities, though nothing represents a significant challenge."
"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."
"The price is always one of those things that you always look to just improve if you're a not-for-profit organization."
"Although, sometimes there is a restriction with the number of OS platforms that this solution supports."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"Acronis is cost effective and I would rate it two out of ten."
"There is a free trial available in order for people to evaluate it."
"We pay for whatever we use, and they bill us accordingly."
"The solution is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies."
"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten. You don't have to pay any additional costs."
"I am not the one who is paying for it, but based on what I know, it is not very expensive. It has a good price."
"When we tested the scenario for over 20 employees, the cost was much lower than the other solutions in the market."
"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."
"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."
"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."
