The savings are real and this stuff works!!
We started looking into cloud backups after multiple acquisitions resulted in expensive and diverse backup scheme's across our enterprise. We needed a simple, inexpensive and scalable solution. We found that with Phoenix. Many of the other solutions we evaluated required us to manage our own infrastructure, yet they called themselves “backup solutions”; which really was just servers running on EC2 or supporting cloud storage endpoints. Further, and likely most importantly, the backup strategy they used wasn't as efficient as Druva’s Phoenix. The magic sauce that makes me so confident in this is the incremental forever and deduplication technology that Druva has invented. Where other technologies required taking full backups at set intervals (weekly/monthly) Druva doesn’t, after the initial seeding, it's always an incremental. The result is, lower cloud storage costs over time, shorter backup windows, and less requirements for bandwidth.

Backup, simple and complete
What do you like best about the product?
Druva InSync is extremely simple to use and nearly 100% automated. You can be as selective as you want and choose only which file types or even which folders get backed up.
The interface is nice and clean, and very simple to perform a restore. Great product for the every-day users like me!

What do you dislike about the product?
The backups can get expensive based on their size, and it can be challenging to stay below your size limitations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using this products to backup our business users' Laptops while they're traveling and on the road. We've come across many instances where we needed to restore user information remotely, and it works!
The Past 6 Months with Druva Insync
What do you like best about the product?
Its very easy to configure, the learning curve for anyone new to the software is minimal.
The backups are very fast and you never notice a decrease in machine performance when they are running.
The maintenance of the software is very minimal.
The inSync share is a very easy way for users to share data with others, the password requirement is a very nice feature too.
When a user gets a new machine you simply backup the old, restore to the new and it takes less than 10 mins for most users, this is a phenomenal time saver.
Overall we are very impressed with Druva, even the reps are friendly and helpful. It has helped on more than one occasion to avoid data loss or a slow recovery.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only feature that we dislike currently is that the on-premise version of inSync gets updated much later than the cloud based version.
Having to wait so long for the new features can be frustrating but it is a very minimal complaint in the grand scheme of things

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main benefit for us is the time to setup new machines, Under 10 mins from the time we receive the old machine until the data is restored and fully working.
We also have many traveling users so making sure we always have a backup of their data for when machines get broken saves so many problems down the line.
We have found when data corrupts on a hard drive it is not an issue either, you simple........restore to a new HDD/SSD its that simple and easy.

We can dynamically change the backup settings, not only for WHAT is being backed up, but also for use of CPU, etc. Everything is automatic, even the warnings for those who have not connected to the network recently. Also, we back up to an on-premise storage so we can be sure the data is not getting away from us.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some confusion over setup of backup groups
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are currently experimenting with using Insync share to create custom folders of data relating to employee clients which can be shared to individual employees and altered 'on the fly' as client loads shift or clients leave the service. This use will reduce PII risk and keep our employee machines clear of unneeded files.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Envision uses that even Druva has not thought about.
Reliable and easy to deploy
