Druva offers two solutions: Druva inSync and Druva Phoenix.
Druva inSync is used for desktop and laptop backup, whereas Druva Phoenix is used for cloud-based server backup. Druva inSync has helped us in backing up our Microsoft Office 365 files. I have seen multiple products but the integration that Druva provides with Office 365 is not offered by any competing product.
We have a four-hour backup window, and machines are backed up at least three times a day.
Druva is one of the most trusted backup solutions for endpoint backup. It has helped us in backing up our endpoint machine, hassle-free. It is a very simple-to-use product, and users can even restore their own data. There is no administrative overhead in the product. You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product. Most importantly, the product is lightweight, as the client installed on a desktop or laptop is just 60MB in size.
The features that we find valuable are:
This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud. We have seen that some customers prefer on-premise backup, so they need to think about this.
This product is stable, and we have been using it for the past six years.
As I know from the vendor, some customers are backing up more than one hundred thousand machines using Druva. I don't think that scalability is an issue.
One of the best technical support groups that I have seen in my career. You just log a ticket and an engineer will be available in less than half an hour.
We did use another solution prior to this one, but we faced a lot of issues during the daytime backup, such as machine slowness.
Server setup takes less than ten minutes for installation and configuration, and the client setup takes between two and three minutes to install.
We performed the deployment in-house.
Druva is a cloud-based product and there is no on-premise option available.
During purchase, check with the Drive team to see how much storage they are providing per user. There are two options available at 50GB and 300GB.
Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor.
Before choosing this solution we evaluated:
The beauty of the product is keeping it simple, rather than making it more complicated, which is what Druva did for a long time. As multiple features were added it made the product heavier and more complicated.
We love the product and its offerings, and feel that it is the best product in the market.
