Druva: Backup & Recovery for Cloud, Data Centers & Remote Sites

We are using Druva Data Security Cloud for ourselves as well as our customers, both.

I think the biggest advantage of Druva Data Security Cloud is that it has one console for almost all the various workloads.

We use Druva's centralized management console for server backup, endpoint backups, and M365.

AI-driven analytics in Druva Data Security Cloud is really adding overall speed to the kind of work being done, but we are in a slightly early stage of that.

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

When talking about long-term governance in Druva Data Security Cloud, the legal hold is something which they have that is fantastic, and the way we can search and federate the search is good for us.

I have utilized Druva's automated backup and recovery workflows.

It is more about the kind of overall performance Druva Data Security Cloud brings to a large number of people who are even remotely connected, and it can do fantastic fast backups with incremental data, much better than some other solutions like Veeam.

I think Druva's deduplication technology is great, but the way they charge for source storage means the storage size can suddenly become much larger, and I would have been much happier if they were to give deduplication advantages on endpoints and M365 as well, which they don't.

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.

There is room for improvement in their response time and first-level support quality, as some changes are happening in the team in India, which might be the reason for this.

I have been working with Druva Data Security Cloud for three years.

What I mean by multiple workloads is that Druva doesn't provide support for Kubernetes or anything on-prem, so I can't keep a copy of my work on-prem, which makes things simpler and easier with Commvault and Veeam, as I can have hybrid setups. I am also not too sure about their capability on higher-end workloads like SAP.

I would rate their technical support an eight.

I can give them a rating of possibly nine on support, with my name attached, but let the support be nine.

We use Commvault, Veeam, Druva, all of them, but I am not working with Cloud Rewind by Commvault or Appranix.

I think the cloud is called Cloud Metallica if I know it well, but I am not working with Cloud Rewind by Commvault.

Acronis is similar to Cloud Rewind or formerly Appranix, also by Commvault, but I'm not certain.

I might have been using Appranix earlier, but I am not 100% sure.

I am working with Commvault Cloud and Druva, and we also use Veeam.

Druva's pricing has been a little bit on the higher side of late.

I rate Druva Data Security Cloud an eight because I think there is still scope for improvement in terms of the number of workloads on the server side.
