Druva Data Security Cloud requires performance improvements, better customization, more integrations, enhanced analytics, and more cost transparency.
If their agent version is mismatched and the health status is critical, you will not be able to perform your Azure Site Recovery.

There is room for improvement in the release of patches, such as ensuring they are properly managed to avoid outages.

They could integrate an EDR tool during backup. By integrating with that tool, they could easily rectify cyberattacks, miscellaneous attacks, and ransomware.

System Engineer at TEKsystems
 

Setup Cost

Azure Site Recovery offers cost-effective DR solutions despite complex billing, with average monthly site-to-site replication costs at $225.

Featured Reviews

AP
IT Manager at NTT DATA
Long-term user praises cost savings and reliability of disaster recovery solutions
There is only one thing to note: the agent has to be up-to-date when SCCM or any third-party tools are doing patching activities. If their agent version is mismatched and the health status is critical, you will not be able to perform your Azure Site Recovery. Recently, I worked with a mass issue related to Recovery Services Vault, and the VM support engineers are taking a lot of time to extend support to the customer. When you raise a call, they wait too long, and even if you request an engineer to set up a call for severity B cases, they are not ready to communicate over the phone, preferring email instead.
Tilak Rohitsingh - PeerSpot reviewer
System Engineer at TEKsystems
Backup has protected our organization-wide email data and supports fast malicious deletion recovery
Some of the best features that Druva Data Security Cloud offers are endpoint backup, ransomware protection, cloud apps, and eDiscovery. Out of endpoint backup, ransomware protection, cloud apps, and eDiscovery, I find the infinitely scalable feature to be the most valuable in my day-to-day work, as it does not have any maintenance windows, which is different in terms of data protection. When it comes to features, I appreciate that Druva Data Security Cloud boasts less complexity found in solutions that are not built for the cloud while remaining secure, scalable, and always available, without requiring a maintenance window. Druva maintains the data protection solution, not the customer, and the platform is always up to date with the latest features, which makes it very scalable, as new capacity can be added to subscription on the fly without changes to the backup setting and without needing to purchase and install new appliances or software. The impact of Druva Data Security Cloud on my organization is significant, as it ensures users' data is backed up with snapshots and is very secure on the cloud. I benefit from prompt and clear assistance from Druva support, and the ease of access into the web portal provides a view into a snapshot without having to restore it first. Specific outcomes I have seen with Druva Data Security Cloud include peace of mind knowing our users' Office 365 data is backed up and very secure, along with improved security, additional protection against accidental deletion of mailbox items, and a means for remedial action after a malicious incident that deletes or encrypts users' data.
