We are currently using Druva to back up all the files on laptops. I work in the hospitality industry, specifically at Marriott. There are users who travel from place to place and carry laptops. For users who travel occasionally, we install Druva on their laptops so that all their files get backed up in the cloud. In some cases, laptops have been stolen from our employee cars. In those situations, we are able to restore all the files directly from their Druva repository in the cloud.

Efficient file restoration with rapid incremental backups and potential for better reporting
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Druva enables us to back up laptops efficiently so that we can restore files if the laptops are stolen.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of Druva is that it can detect changes in files or laptops and perform incremental backups. Furthermore, the backup process is quick and doesn't take much time.
What needs improvement?
I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data. Also, the reports we can generate have limited features. There is a limitation in the advanced reporting features, such as understanding how many files are in the backup, which users are actively using it, and how many files have been backed up properly.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Druva since 2019, which is about five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Over the past five years, I haven't experienced any issues or problems with Druva. I have not received any complaints from users, indicating that it has been working smoothly.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is difficult to comment on scalability because we are only using the basic features. However, we have never faced any issue in that regard.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support from Druva is commendable. Their response is usually quick, and I have contacted them only a couple of times for accessing certain features. Each time the response was prompt.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Druva, we used different solutions for backups. Currently, we also use Veeam for servers and Druva for laptops.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Druva is basic and easy. Installation takes less than two or three minutes.
What about the implementation team?
The firewall system is managed by a third-party company for all our hotels.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We pay Druva for the backup application on a monthly basis. Compared to other applications that we are paying for, Druva's pricing is fair. It is not cheap or expensive.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We have used Datto and Veeam for some of our backup needs.
What other advice do I have?
For personal backups of laptops and computers, I recommend Druva due to its ease of use. However, I cannot speak to its features for advanced applications.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
