Compare Druva with CTERA

Learn about CTERA’s Integrated Enterprise File Services Including Endpoint Data Protection, Secure Cloud File Sync & Share Cloud Storage Gateways compared to Druva

Differences	Explanation
IT Strategy	CTERA provides the only platform for smarter file services by offering tight integration of enterprise backup with content collaboration and NAS, all managed through a single interface. CTERA helps customers improve both business productivity while improving business continuity. Simultaneously IT is trying to achieve strategic goals like reducing vendor count, adopting the cloud, and reducing administrative overhead. Druva provides backup for laptops and desktops, so it is used in addition to legacy backup products. Druva’s other products are not integrated and have major feature deficiencies, such as lack of bare-metal server restore and missing right-click file sharing.
Data Availability	Druva can back-up a set of files (‘persona’) on endpoints, which means that additional IT effort is needed to load the OS and applications before restoring a full system. LAN-speed backup/restore to CloudCache is available for endpoints, but not for servers. CTERA instantly protects changed files and also offers traditional backup for servers/laptops/desktops. Unlimited file versions are available for rollback with self-service restore. In addition to backing up file sets, CTERA can restore entire systems on bare metal, even with dissimilar hardware. And CTERA backup offers application-consistent snapshots and predefined application backup sets. CTERA also includes NAS services and file synchronization that facilitates global business continuity in the event of a user, server, or office losing access to the internet or data.
Total Cost of Ownership	With CTERA, you get a platform that slashes costs by reducing the products to buy and manage (server backup, endpoint backup, vaulting, EFSS, and NAS), deduplicates data across all of your file environments to minimize the necessary storage, and leverages cloud for the lowest per-GB cost. At the same time, the business is profiting from improved collaboration and information accessibility. A number of free CTERA backup agent licenses are included with each CTERA storage gateway (which can provide primary storage services), further reducing the TCO associated with secondary storage. Druva increases the number of backup products to buy and manage, with unconnected management of the inSync and Phoenix products, so licensing and management costs increase. Server backup is licensed by capacity, which grows rapidly. Furthermore, it does not provide deduplication or management across other file services, resulting in unnecessary storage costs and more administration costs.

IT Strategy

CTERA provides the only platform for smarter file services by offering tight integration of enterprise backup with content collaboration and NAS, all managed through a single interface. CTERA helps customers improve both business productivity while improving business continuity. Simultaneously IT is trying to achieve strategic goals like reducing vendor count, adopting the cloud, and reducing administrative overhead.

Druva provides backup for laptops and desktops, so it is used in addition to legacy backup products. Druva’s other products are not integrated and have major feature deficiencies, such as lack of bare-metal server restore and missing right-click file sharing.
