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

"I have experience with the technical team of the product, and I feel that they offer good support."
"Acronis has carved out a really good name for themselves and they're a trusted backup software system, and it's mainly from reliability."
"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."
"The product offers a user-friendly dashboard and a seamless backup process"
"Technical support is great."
"This is a solution that I recommend everybody try."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup Cloud is the ease of management."
"Disaster recovery is good."
"I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Druva Phoenix are the simple portal to log in and flexibility."
"Druva Phoenix is easy to use and easy to start with."
"I found the cost-effectiveness of Druva Phoenix to be its most valuable feature, especially when compared to on-premises backup solutions."
"We chose the best one that works for us which was Druva Phoenix."
"Druva Phoenix provides a return on investment and operational cost reductions after implementation."
 

Cons

"I keep submitting a request for more flexible reporting. I'd like to create custom reports in my own way, rather than just combining the pre-defined modules."
"The bad point is always customer support and partner support, which Acronis has never changed."
"I would like to see more integration with SIEM solutions."
"One of the areas where the product could be improved is its online cloud backup."
"The speed of the backup process in the solution can be improved"
"​The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic.​"
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"It would be better if the price of the solution was improved for medium-sized businesses. Moreover, the email security should be improved. We are awaiting new updates on the product."
"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 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."
"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."
"Deploying it in a hybrid cloud model involves some minor complexities, though nothing represents a significant challenge."
"The price is always one of those things that you always look to just improve if you're a not-for-profit organization."
"Druva Phoenix could be improved if they provided bare metal recovery for physical servers, which would be beneficial for server deployment."
"Although, sometimes there is a restriction with the number of OS platforms that this solution supports."
"Druva Phoenix should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little lower than the competition, at least in India."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution costs around 75 USD for 1TB per month."
"We pay for whatever we use, and they bill us accordingly."
"With the price, there is a certain limitation on terabytes but no limits on how many servers or how many services you can run."
"It is good value for money."
"The solution is moderately priced."
"I have been using pay as you go with Acronis, so the price is good.​"
"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."
"I assume clients use Druva Phoenix because it is cheaper than other products."
"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."
