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

"A valuable feature is the user-friendly control management. I appreciate the integrated service, where just one agent and one virtual management are needed to handle everything. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support has been consistently excellent. The initial setup is straightforward."
"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."
"The management, backup, and recovery features are all very good."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature for me because I can manage backups and teams in one console."
"Part of the reason we selected Acronis as our backup solution is their amazing support and installation."
"The product offers very easy configuration capabilities."
"The tool's backup and cybersecurity features are good. I haven't had any complaints from any users. Everybody likes the XDR and EDR that it provides. The solution is simple and easy to use."
"We turn on the solution and it works well for backing up our data, it is easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"We chose the best one that works for us which was Druva Phoenix."
"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 most valuable features of Druva Phoenix are the simple portal to log in and flexibility."
 

Cons

"Technical support needs improvement. They are too slow to respond, and when it comes to backups, it's critical to deal with issues quickly."
"The platform's interface could be user-friendly."
"I would like to see enhancements made to the security."
"They could support Linux OS primarily for servers."
"They have cloud storage technology. The problem with it, it's slow."
"There could be some changes done to the action page to simplify it."
"Technical support needs to be improved because they do not respond in a timely fashion."
"I don't see any room for improvement in the solution itself, but their marketing could be better. Dealers and customers aren't aware of this product or the company, so maybe they should concentrate more on marketing."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix."
"Deploying it in a hybrid cloud model involves some minor complexities, though nothing represents a significant challenge."
"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."
"Although, sometimes there is a restriction with the number of OS platforms that this solution supports."
"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 should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently."
"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

"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."
"Acronis is cost effective and I would rate it two out of ten."
"We pay monthly for the use of the solution."
"We pay for whatever we use, and they bill us accordingly."

"The product’s pricing is expensive."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"The solution is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies."
"It's very costly. Normal people wouldn't understand how their credits are calculated. It's pretty complex."
"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."
"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."
"I assume clients use Druva Phoenix because it is cheaper than other products."
