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.

Technical support has improved my data management process but I encounter GUI and cost challenges
The solution is available in the Azure Marketplace, but approaching directly is more cost-effective. The Marketplace approach incurs additional platform and reporting costs. We initially built Rubrik at host level and DB level. We encountered latency issues when reverting back, with numerous snapshots available. This resulted in increased costs and occupied spaces. I performed manual deletion of snapshots and verified with the Rubrik team for confirmation. The GUI reporting functionality lacks flexibility. For instance, obtaining specific server reports considering drive space and backup quantities is not possible, as it only provides overall reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable feature of Druva is that it can detect changes in files or laptops and perform incremental backups."
"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."
"The centralized management console in this solution and AI-driven analytics are good features."
"Over the past five years, I haven't experienced any issues or problems with Druva."
"Live Mount is where we do the majority of our big recoveries, unless it is a file recovery. A file recovery takes a few minutes to restore to where the file in the event a file was accidentally deleted by a user, etc. There has been at least a 90 percent reduction in recovery time based on our previous solution, from the need to recover something to when it's actually recovered went from hours to minutes."
"The search functionality is second to none as the speed of the search is fast across the whole system and predictive."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"The feature that I have found most valuable from Rubrik is its protection against ransomware attacks. Rubrik is a very nice, very good solution because it is able to protect your data and you have the possibility from the backup to detect any abnormal behavior, like a ransomware attack. You are able to detect and restore very easily with this solution. This is a major differentiator in comparison to the other competitors."
"The live mounting and compatibility of different operating systems is great."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"I think the best feature is its masterless architecture."
"I value the options it has for storage tiering (i.e. whether it should be a flash, SSD, or pushed to the cloud) depending on the data provided."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."
"They can improve their product quality for Salesforce as they don't have the capability to run that business without Technobind."
"The web interface could benefit from some improvement, particularly in terms of alerting and dashboard clarity. The cloud web interface is somewhat confusing and could use more development attention. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that local on-premise management options remain available alongside cloud-based solutions, as internet availability can affect backup management. Regarding features, cross-hypervisor restore functionality would be a valuable addition, allowing for greater flexibility in restoring VMs across different environments."
"I would improve the cost part of Rubrik; they should improve in that area."
"Rubrik could improve in customization options for dashboards."
"I hope to see enhancements in areas like data governance and the incorporation of new features in future updates."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
"The only thing that can be improved is catering for open source databases because at the moment it doesn't cater for Mongo, MySQL, and Postgres."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"With multiple Rubrik clusters setup in an environment, it becomes painfully obvious that this product needs a central management console."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Rubrik is fairly priced."
"We pay yearly and it's based on the number of bricks."
"There is just one cost, and it includes software and hardware. So, everything is included. It is better than other solutions in terms of cost. We also have Dell EMC Avamar in our environment, and we have to pay for the hardware and data domain. We also have to pay for the software license for the data protection suite. So, based on my calculations, I find Rubrik cheaper, and we are also getting good performance."
"Rubrik is an all inclusive price. No additional implementation costs or licencing."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"Originally, we bought the units on perpetual licenses. Now, we have switched to Rubrik Go. I think the Rubrik Go subscription is a better model, where it is based on your onsite environment and you consume what you use."
"The cost was less than our previous provider, and this is a much better product."
"Rubrik is not cheap. Hopefully, you can archive your data on cheap storage to keep the investment minimal."
