"All the data is well encrypted. In addition, the data is split into pieces so that if an endpoint is attacked or compromised with any kind of ransomware, the compromised machine can be relocated or restored. All the data that was previously backed up can be restored from the cloud. It has a lot of security features. Druva currently offers only the cloud version on AWS. Being a cloud solution, Druva goes by a lot of security compliances and provides a security portfolio. People are very skeptical of the data security in cloud solutions, and Druva has given consideration to that. It has some good geo-location features. If a machine is lost, when the machine is switched on and connected to the internet, that machine can be geo-located and tracked. It also has got the geo-wipeout feature. If someone tries to take out the data from a lost machine, they won't be able to do that. The moment an IT admin comes to know that the machine is no longer with a user, he or she can auto-run the geo-wipeout feature so that the data cannot be read by any third party. Duality replication is a unique thing about this solution. Everybody's data is not backed up if the data is common. Similar data is not backed up from other machines. The data backup also happens very smoothly. The bandwidth choking is very less. When the data is getting backed up, the users do not even get to know. There is no impact even when the users are not using high-speed bandwidth."
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."
"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"The solution could improve by having better integration and more flexibility."
"It was challenging to back up our Exchange database, which is one of the reasons we did not continue using this solution."
"It's very slow to backup and store information. It has two consoles and an application which are more difficult to use than a solution like Veeam."
"It's not the best solution for big databases."
"The management of this solution is a little bit difficult for IT administrators. They have to be trained before going through the system."
"If there is a need to move the data from one backup solution to another, it might be difficult since there is no option for a straightforward migration."
"The screen design is a bit back-dated."
"Its ability to back up very large objects can be improved. In terms of new features, they can include the ability to use cloud services, like S3, more natively."
"The speed could be better."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
