With a solution that is updated as frequently as every two weeks, never requires end-user patching and is accessible from anywhere in the world, Druva has helped thousands of customers thrive in the cloud era.

Hear it from our customers:
“Before we partnered with Druva, it took four resources to manage our backup tools. Now one person can manage it because it doesn’t require a back-up specialist. We’ve easily cut up to 75% of our time managing the day-to-day backups. With Druva, I can do what I need to as a CIO: glance at the dashboard and know my team can recover anything in minutes,” – Tom Ferrucci, CIO, Hope Global
“What we accomplished with Druva in just three months probably would have taken us a year and a half to do before. COVID-19 motivated everybody to have a singular focus on our cloud strategy and Druva has been a catalyst of Katz achieving that 5X faster,” – Robert Lyons, CTO, Katz Media Group
“The Druva Cloud Platform is a one-stop-shop allowing us to manage all 26 holding companies’ data via a central management console. I do a lot of due diligence before I pick a product, which also includes the service and the company behind it. We set the bar high with our new data protection strategy, and the Druva Cloud Platform has exceeded our expectations,” – Robert Elworthy, assistant director of IT, Langdale Industries
