We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Druva Phoenix is easy to use and easy to start with.""The most valuable features of Druva Phoenix are the simple portal to log in and flexibility.""I found the cost-effectiveness of Druva Phoenix to be its most valuable feature, especially when compared to on-premises backup solutions.""I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%.""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."

"The most valuable features of this solution were the features we worked most with which were telemetry, and the scheduler.""The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication.""The command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide.""I haven't experienced any crashes while using the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""Data Protector is very good at automation. From the time of the backup, verification, and copy to tape, it is very good. I don't need to touch it, it will do it by itself.""Micro Focus Data Protector's most valuable feature is its interaction with the fiber share. It is easy to use, we use it to back up without any problem to VTLs, and can use the Fiber Channel that is still the TCP.""Performs the backup properly and protects our data.""Ability to automatically detect and secure new data sources without requiring manual configuration intervention."

Cons
"Druva Phoenix should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently.""Druva Phoenix is optimized to work with x86 platforms, making it unsuitable for backing up non-x86 architectures like AIX. The solution is primarily designed for physical Linux and Windows systems based on the x86 architecture, as well as virtualized Windows and Linux environments. However, if you have an AIX system, it cannot be deployed in the cloud, and therefore, backing it up in the cloud is not a concern.""They were able to give us a very reasonable price considering we were non-for-profit organizations, however, there is always room for improvement on that cost.""There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix."

More Druva Phoenix Cons →

"The solution is not intuitive enough. I think they should work on the user experience and the graphical interface. These can be a lot better.""They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use.""Integration with the market applications must be improved, such as MS Exchange, MS Active Directory, SAP and Oracle. Other backup tools are more efficient with the integrated backups.""Virtualization.""I don't like this solution so much because it's very technical and compared to Commvault and Veeam, it's not so user-friendly. The interface needs improvement.""We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2.""If you compare the solution with the same specific features and enhancements on another solution, Data Protector is expensive. This is especially true when compared to, for example, Veeam.""Other tools seem to be easier to use."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "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."

  • "The licensing structure provides cost savings to business."
  • "It is fast, reliable, and its licensing policy is great."
  • "Avoid using many LTO drives; when using fewer drives, the price will be extremely good."

  • "The licensing cost was not annual. We didn't pay any license. We paid when we deployed and we didn't pay for anything after that. There were no additional fees after the initial payment."
  • "The pricing is around $3,000 to $5,000. The charge additionally for support and to scale."
  • "The solution requires paying for a license."
