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

"The cataloging is the best feature. It takes millions of frames for the backup. It's incremental, so it takes less time to complete.""The most valuable features are the Self-Service, and the ability to search the data.""Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution. It is easy to use.""The command-line interface is good.""The solution is highly stable.""In terms of stability, I've found it to be very stable. I've walked into the server room when it was at 60 degrees Celcius, and it was still running fine."

Cons
"Druva Phoenix should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently.""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.""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."

More Druva Phoenix Cons →

"The backup for a large amount of data is slow.""IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly.""Setting up the system to work with legacy equipment is a bit complex at times.""The configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage.""I would like the possibility to back up the infrastructure and then replicate it upon on restart, without having to orchestrate the starting of the VM."
