Easy to use and very effective
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is very easy to use and understand. It seems to be fast and reliable, and even the most basic of users can usually figure out how to do a simple file restore. It offers many features that you didn't know you needed until you try them for the first time.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are times when it consumes a lot of resources when running a backup. Unfortunately this can happen in the middle of the day at the worst possible times. There can also be some issues when migrating between machines, but the fact it handles this at all is impressive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Constant backups and easy restores have eliminated the worry about data loss so that we can focus more on being productive. The ability to handle machine migrations when users upgrade equipment is a huge benefit that wasn't part of the original intention.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look no further if you want a decently priced full featured cloud backup system.
Great solution for small to medium business
What do you like best about the product?
Cost-efficient, low maintenance, easy to deploy, compatibility
What do you dislike about the product?
There were a couple issues at the moment of deployment, it took us around 3 weeks to iron them all out, but after it was set working, no further intervention was necessary. Also the payment model was difficult to understand at first, and some sales representatives did not know how to explain it properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moving from on-site backup to cloud backup. Upgrading technology for backups, not relying on physical backup schedule.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Monitor the implementation closely for at least 4 weeks. New problems appear after a couple days of implementation, and they need to be addressed as soon as possible to avoid losing data. Also make sure to be crystal clear about their business model, different sales representatives will tell you different payment methods and it can become confusing.
Protection through transparency
What do you like best about the product?
One of my favorite features is the email notification that I receive when I do a Restore for my data. That way, both you and your administrator know exactly what data is being pulled. The Admin console is also a lot better recently by way of the UX redesign. Navigation is a lot simpler and more intuitive which makes my life a lot easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest flaw we're working with right now is InSync's inability to interpret OneDrive files that are not locally downloaded. We are seeing a ton of backups show "finished with errors", and they are almost always the cloud-stored docs that are not local. Another one of the areas that needs the most improvement in Druva InSync is the auditing logs. I have a really hard time gathering the data I need regarding full lists of users with stale backups or inactivity. Also, pulling larger data restores takes a significant amount of time. Any time I need to restore more than 20GB at a time, I know I'll need to leave the restore overnight. And if there's an interruption (from the admin console), you have to restart from the beginning. A bit frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do a full drive backup with Druva, so if something catastrophic occurs on a drive, our users can be assured that they will be back in the game with all their data restored. We also are able to preserve devices for our retention policy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the cost-savings you'll have when you utilize this as a data retention utility.
Best backup/restore tool ever!
What do you like best about the product?
It is simple, effective, non intrussive, easy to manage, very flexible and very stable. The console allow to view quickly the status off all backups per users and devices.
The capacity to give to the users the hability to restore your own files is very important too.

What do you dislike about the product?
Really i don´t have any dislike about the product , i think it is wonderfull! Some times, a discount will be apreciated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use them for years, in one environment with many portable devices, wich are stolen or simply broked for multiple reason, and all ways can recover the data, giving to the users a fast recovery to activity. Before using Druva, we can´t garantee the backup and the restore of the information. After Druva, we really garantee not only the backup, te restore of the data of the user are granted.
The non intrusive agent is very usefull specially with users wich are using the movile device (notebook) in a intensive way.
The users are using usually MS Outlook and local PSTs, and others backus tools don´t backup users file in use (locked), but Druva inSync take a shadow copy and backup the locked files without problem. In the organization, the PSTs file are very important as process documentation.

Druva is a Complete Backup Solution for your Enterprise
What do you like best about the product?
Druva is simple to use, just works without a performance hit or the user even knowing, and ensures that disaster recovery is achievable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Druva has very few drawbacks, again it just works, and works well. From an administrator standpoint the database is a bit sensitive to corruption if it is in use at all during an interruption from a server reboot or other service stoppage
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solved our need for a centralized management backup solution that will alert you if your users are not backing up, will deduplicate that data for amazing storage savings, ours is about 50% so we are using half the storage we would otherwise have to use if duplicate files were being stored, will provide seemless migrations to a new PC or Mac and data loss prevention built in for remote wiping capability and geo tracking. All for an affordable price.

Druva Phoenix
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using Druva Phoenix for a few years now in our district and it has proven to be well worthe the resources. The ability to tie this in with Amazon Web Services and back up our servers in the cloud is extremely beneficial and very cost effective.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have not discovered anything that is a downside with Phoenix Druva.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are backing up our AWS servers and data and keeping a truly off-site real time backup. If we ever suffer a catastrophic failure or need to rebuild in a hurry, Druva Phoenix's resources will surely be of benefit to us.
