Druva inSync - Solid and Reliable backups
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Druva is easily the hand's off backups. It takes some time to configure initially, but once it's fine-tuned it's reliable. Easy to upgrade remotely, along with solid reporting. We haven't had any issues with it running, and backups are available at any time along with a history.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have users with Mac Bootcamp and you need to be on a specific version, and then upgrade it for the device to report correctly. If you don't, the backups will overwrite each partition. Outside of that, Druva has been outstanding.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for endpoint backups, in case of emergency. Luckily we haven't needed disaster recovery yet, but I have made use of the restoration for endpoint upgrades.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a solid backup platform at a reasonable price. Easy to do recovery and recovery time is solid. Can't complain.
Druva Insync
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it automatically backs up data without backup up the unnecessary files. It's user-friendly for end users to automatically restore when a laptop is replaced or a hard drive crashes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some sort of document 'versioning' would be nice - if it has that already, I've not experienced using it or know about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backups for laptop swaps; it's easy to backup and restore.

What do you dislike about the product?
If there is a network interruption, the ability to perform a backup and queue the file for later transfer when a connection is available would be handy.
AWS storage recovery model takes way too long
After upgrading to new version, the ability to roll back to the older version in case of any issues.
Initial backups can be lengthy and consume a lot of bandwidth. This is true for any endpoint backup system. Druva has methods of avoiding this (CloudCache) but with our workforce those methods didn't apply, we have too many field/remote users.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Reliable, client is not too heavy
What do you like best about the product?
Client does not hammer the CPU to a point where the OS lags. Mobile client works pretty well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Restores are slow, though not inconsistent with other cloud based restores
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Laptop backup on scale, centralized management
Reliable Backup System
What do you like best about the product?
It's come in handy when I needed to recover my information after I was faced with a broken laptop (literally, in pieces).
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to find something to dislike -- it's been extremely reliable since my experience using it (almost 5 years).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Druva inSync allows me to have peace of mind that my data is being stored safely and can be recovered easily.
Incredibly simple and cost effective
What do you like best about the product?
It's simple to set up and start backing up data to the cloud. We saw 15x deduplication rates which has saved us a significant amount over standard data protection offerings that require hardware or tape.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it allowed us to back up our local Oracle instance, but that's not supported today.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were seeing our data sizes growing and it felt like the hardware and tape guys were happy to just sell us more hardware and tape capacity. We heard about Druva from Gartner and liked the idea that we could store this all in the cloud at a lower cost than adding more hardware. We also liked that since it's an "as a service" offering we pay as we consume it, so we don't have the overhead and capex costs associated with hardware. We also have visibility to the deduplication and realize we were saving multiple copies and paying for more storage. With Druva Phoenix they dedupe it before moving to the cloud so we can see the dedupe rate and we pay less. We have seen a 15x deduplication rate and in the first 9 months a TCO reduction of almost 40% so far. We also have workloads on AWS and feel that Druva's new apollo offering will allow us to protect all out cloud applications, workloads and on premise data with one pane of glass, making backup and recovery easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely recommend this solution if you want something that is as a service. It's simple to set up and administer, my back up guys love it. It's saved us significant money in the short term, so far. They use AWS as their back end, so I know it's safer than even my security internally.
A Silent Partner
What do you like best about the product?
Our company has recently started using Druva and it has definitely added a piece of mind. I have always carried around a thumb drive, backing up to it whenever I remember to, and knowing we now have everything important updated to a cloud based back up daily gives a sense of security for our data. The software is straightforward, easy to use and is configurable and managed by our IT department.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far nothing to dislike has arisen, software works as expected and does a good job.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a digital age filled with soft data and ever changing laws/requirements, having everything backed up is the best way to go. This software provides a simple solution that gives peace of mind and security.
