Reliable image backups have protected our HMIs and simplified on‑premises recovery

We have not tried the vulnerability assessment feature yet because we have a different set of protocols for our cybersecurity. We conduct audits and plug the gaps as part of our security approach. We are not using AI with the anti-malware from Acronis; we are using it only for backup and recovery. On the backup and restoration side with Acronis Backup, some on-premises AI features which can detect anomalies may be something which would improve the product significantly. Otherwise, we are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.

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

"Acronis has a very rich functionality."

"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."

"The setup is very easy."

"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."

"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."

"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."

"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."

"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"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."

"It's patch-based, so you don't have to bother about the backup server or the repository."

"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."

"I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%."

"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 initial setup was very straightforward."

More Druva Phoenix pros

Cons

"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."

"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."

"Acronis Cyber Protect could be more affordable, especially for us in South America. It is important to review the cost for different countries."

"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."

"Because Acronis Backup is an on-premises solution, there is extra overhead. It's harder to manage, and there's no real remote access. You have to physically log in to the machine to manage it. The reporting feature works fine, and you will be able to send out reports. However, that is where it stops. The deployment could be improved and could be through a network chain. If we need to deploy two machines that are not connected to the internet but connected to two different networks, it would be great to have a machine with dual mix that has access to the backup server and to those machines. It would be like a relay that you can install on the machine with a two-mix, and that machine can then connect to your backup server and to the other machines. You should be able to see the other machines on that network and be able to deploy to it and push jobs to it."

"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."

"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."

"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"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."

"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."

"They were very much responsive a few years back, but in the last one or two years, I believe the responsiveness has gone down."

"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."

"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."

"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."

"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."

"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."

"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."

"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."

"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."

"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."
