A scalable solution for backup and restore that has an easy setup
The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems. There's no other way around it. Recently, we have also faced RDS and print server issues. One of our clients experienced some remote desktop service issues. These things keep happening with Microsoft. They have a patch, and then they have some other rollout that fixes it. The solution should be more consistent with its patching updates.

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

"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature includes leaving the stub files behind and integrating that with the recenter feature."
"The stability has always been very good."
"The solution has good scalability."
"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 solution is great for companies that need backup capabilities."
"I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."
"I think the solution itself keeps up with everything else. Sometimes it would be nice if they could move a little bit quicker and have faster updates, but in terms of the features, it's absolutely fine and adequate."
"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."
"The product's pricing needs to be improved."
"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."
"Druva Phoenix could be improved if they provided bare metal recovery for physical servers, which would be beneficial for server deployment."
"Deploying it in a hybrid cloud model involves some minor complexities, though nothing represents a significant challenge."
"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."
"The price is always one of those things that you always look to just improve if you're a not-for-profit organization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution could also be cheaper."
"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"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."
