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.""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.""I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%."

More Druva Phoenix Pros →

"The deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data.""It's so easy to work with.""The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications.""Its initial setup is easy.""It's pretty simple. Once you set it, it goes; and then the idea of being able to get it to the cloud very quickly. It's kind of a set-it-forget-it.""The flexibility. Being able to virtualize it, port it wherever I like, test my backups, test my DR capabilities whenever I like without impacting anybody.""The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system.""Being able to move data seamlessly from one-premise to the cloud (Azure). It works great. The backup solution is perfect for us."

Cons
"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.""Druva Phoenix should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently.""There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix.""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."

More Druva Phoenix Cons →

"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have.""I would like to see more web support.""I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have.""More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror.""It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture.""There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good.""The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult.""It would be nice if the solution was more complete. Many customers are looking for a single solution or silo that they can manage everything from. It would be nice, instead of having different products, if everything a client needed was in one solution."

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."
  • "I assume clients use Druva Phoenix because it is cheaper than other products."
  • More Druva Phoenix Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It's quite cost-effective."
  • "The pricing is not too bad, but could be a little better."
  • "It is a rather expensive program."
  • "You could compare it to a Dell EMC or ECS, and I think it's probably a little less costly than that. Within the marketplace, it's a medium cost."
  • "In one use case, and we have several, to run for a particular customer, the price is about $375,000 a year."
  • "There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution, which comes to around 3,000 USD."

    Overview

    Druva Phoenix is a comprehensive cloud-based data protection and management solution that enables organizations to securely backup, recover, and manage their data across endpoints, physical servers, virtual machines, and cloud applications. With its scalable and flexible architecture, Druva Phoenix simplifies data protection and eliminates the need for traditional backup infrastructure.

    By leveraging the power of the cloud, Druva Phoenix offers organizations a cost-effective and efficient way to protect their critical data. It provides automated backup and recovery capabilities, ensuring that data is always protected and easily recoverable in the event of a disaster or data loss. With its global deduplication and compression technology, Druva Phoenix minimizes storage requirements and reduces costs.

    Druva Phoenix also offers advanced features such as point-in-time recovery, allowing organizations to restore data to a specific point in time, and granular file-level recovery, enabling users to recover individual files or folders. Its intuitive web-based console provides a centralized view of all protected data, making it easy to manage and monitor backups across the entire organization.

    In addition to data protection, Druva Phoenix offers comprehensive data management capabilities. It enables organizations to gain insights into their data through advanced analytics and reporting, helping them make informed decisions and optimize their storage resources. Druva Phoenix also supports legal and compliance requirements by providing eDiscovery capabilities and ensuring data is retained and disposed of according to regulatory guidelines.

    With its cloud-native architecture, Druva Phoenix offers organizations the flexibility to protect and manage their data across a wide range of environments, including on-premises, remote offices, and cloud applications such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. It seamlessly integrates with popular cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, allowing organizations to leverage their existing cloud investments.

    NetApp AltaVault is a cloud-integrated storage solution created to increase recovery capabilities and lower cost and risks. It is better than traditional backup and recovery solutions because they are considerably slower, more expensive, risky, and can be too complex for the comprehension of many users. NetApp AltaVault solves issues related to backup, archival, and restoration. Compared to on-premises solutions, this software claims to be up to 90% less expensive while solving multiple issues related to data storage in the cloud. AltaVault presents three solutions to its customers: backup and recovery, cold storage and archives, and disaster recovery.

    1. NetApp’s backup and recovery solution works with Kerne-Based Virtual Machine, Microsoft Hyper-V, and VMware vSphere, creating a solution for mid-sized businesses as well as for bigger companies that want to protect their offices in different locations. The usable local cache capacities of this solution range from 32TB to 383TB, providing clients with enough storage for their important data while giving them the option to retrieve it if something goes amiss.

      2. NetApp AltaVault can be configured in cold storage mode and used for data that is not often used. The solution is scalable, thus allowing minimal costs for operating with cold data and allowing fast access to it at the same time.

        3. AltaVault offers disaster recovery for Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. Your data will be secured on the cloud, providing you with a secure backup if the need for disaster recovery arises.

          NetApp AltaVault’s many valued features include:

          • Network and cloud optimization: AltaVault can increase data transfer speed by up to 4 times due to its built-in WAN optimization.

          • Data restoration: Because data is restored from the local cache, recoverability is up to 32 times faster than other methods.

          • Deployment and scale: Users can choose their preferred method - virtual, physical, or cloud-based in Azure or AWS. Since NetApp AltaVault starts at 2TB and can scale up to 57PB, it is one of the most scalable products in its category.

          • Compatible with existing backup software: NetApp AltaVault is compatible with NetApp SnapMirror, EMC, IBM, Commvault, Veritas, and Veeam, meaning it offers a vast array of options for its users when it comes to backup software.

          • Cloud choice and agility: AltaVault supports NetApp StorageGRID, Azure, Google, IBM, and AWS. This provides users with the assurance that their data is safely stored, even if their cloud provider experiences technical issues.
