Easy to use, immutable, and provides good deduplication features

When we wanted to back up our Microsoft environment, we looked for a cloud backup. Barracuda provided a cloud backup. There were no other products that offered similar features at that time. I will recommend the product to others. It is easy to use. It is a complete package. It is easy to integrate the product with Microsoft. We have a complete package that includes antispam and email gateway solutions. We can choose any package we want. We use Barracuda Essentials. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."

"The cloud side of it is nice. Everything happens behind the scenes without you realizing it, which is nice. It doesn't interrupt usage. There is also the freedom and ease of use of the cloud portal, which you can use to manage your backup. One of the strong points of Barracuda is that you can go from zero to having your first backup running within 10 minutes. If you have access to admin accounts and everything else, it can happen in 10 minutes. The ability to go in and just restore a particular file without having to do a full restore is also very useful. You can just go in and pick the files that you need to restore, and the same is with email. You can just go in, find an email, and restore that email without having to do a full backup of all the data or a full restore of the data. I feel very safe because it is not just about the backup; it is about the protection of the data from outside threats. They have a lot of areas of ATP, that is, advanced threat protection. You don't see that much on the backup side. You see it more on the email side. In the email protection, you know it is there at the back. It moves the quarantine emails that come through into a sandbox area, and then you can choose in the sandbox. You can open up an email in the sandbox to make sure that if there is a virus, it can't harm you. You can also plan how often your backups run, such as every six hours or four hours. It is the same with email. They also have a great PhishLine package, which is phishing attack training. You can have the strongest and the best backup and security that you can, but the end user is always the weakest link. They send almost like testing emails to end users to help them identify and understand phishing emails and prevent user or phishing attacks. It is a very good package."

"With Barracuda backup solutions, we have a complete and all-round data protection in place."

"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."

"The product is okay, and we are quite happy with it."

"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."

"Trust Barracuda, at least give them a try, because unfortunately, they're not very known."

"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"With data protection and regulatory compliance being critical and non-negotiable in our organization, we use Druva as an important component of our data resilience and protection strategy."

"I would assess Druva's compliance and governance capabilities in meeting industry regulations as fantastic, and I think they are doing fantastically well."

"Using Druva Data Security Cloud, we have significantly reduced the recovery time from hours to minutes, improving overall operational efficiency."

"Specific outcomes or metrics highlighting positive impacts on my organization include significant cost savings, as the company reduced IT and backup costs by eliminating hardware and maintenance, resulting in over $800,000 in savings over three years after switching to Druva because everything runs in the cloud without the need for expensive infrastructure."

"Druva Data Security Cloud is a great platform that helps to simplify backup management across Microsoft 365, endpoints, and AWS, with very easy deployment that enhances compliance and legal hold, enables end-users to help themselves, reduces administrative workload, and saves time."

"From my perspective, Druva Data Security Cloud is a mature product that uses AWS backup as a backend solution and is available on AWS Cloud."

"Over the past five years, I haven't experienced any issues or problems with Druva."

"The centralized management console in this solution and AI-driven analytics are good features."

Cons

"We are still trying to get confident with daily usage of the solution. It is not always stable."

"Scalability-wise, there is room for improvement."

"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue."

"The price of this solution could be improved."

"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."

"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."

"We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning. We're not sure if the issue is at our end or at Barracuda's end."

"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"Druva Data Security Cloud can improve in some areas, including high cost and pricing models, as many users report that the platform is expensive, especially for large data storage."

"They can improve their product quality for Salesforce as they don't have the capability to run that business without Technobind."

"I believe Druva Data Security Cloud could be improved as the user interface could be a little more clear, the SSO setup was a little confusing, and the ticket creation procedure could be simpler."

"I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."

"When considering how Druva Data Security Cloud could be improved, I would suggest several enhancements."

"I think the best improvement Druva could make is better training for customers and partners, as their on-ground support from a technology point of view is much better with Veeam and Commvault than with Druva."

"Should allow non-IT users to be able to search more specifically."

"I would rate Druva Data Security Cloud an eight on a scale from one to ten because there are better solutions available in the market in terms of security that give a better stack."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You have two options, which we have. We pay for it bi-monthly. Then, you can purchase the project hours and support annually."

"It allows us a low cost backup solution for hardware-based, VMware, and Hyper-V systems all from a single platform."

"The price of the five-year contract was approximately three million Rupees ($42,000 USD)."

"Because it is a single package that includes everything, they are worth the money that you need to pay for it. You are paying for the hardware, licensing, the software that runs on it, regular updates, the cloud features included with it along with the replication, and your space allocated in the cloud for replication. It is fairly priced for what you get."

"They're on par with their competitors."

"Normally, there is the hardware on the site. So, essentially, there is a server and storage. They can price it a little lower because the customers are making a little investment upfront. Even though it is trouble-free for the end-users, and once it is set up and running, they don't have to really think about it, there is essentially an initial investment. It is not really pricey. We're actually competitive, but we are in a different market. In Asia, customers are a little more price-sensitive than in the west. It is not really a real issue."

"It is about 6,900 or 7,000 a year. It goes up a little every year. Its price includes live updates, support, antivirus, and cloud storage. If I increase the cloud space, then the price would increase. It has been consistent for us."

"All the storage is included in Barracuda, so you're just paying for the package. I think with Veeam, you pay for the package, and you pay for the storage."
