Decent Solution to Protect Your Data
What do you like best about the product?
We found Druva inSync is a descent solution for mid size organizations looking a central backup solution. Can become a bit of a headache for larger organizations due to occasional issues with agents. This could be easily overcome if Druva support steps us a bit and backup client is thoroughly tested for bugs and incompatibilities before release.
What do you dislike about the product?
As mentioned earlier there quite some room for improvement such as Backup agent reliability, Support needs some improvement and reporting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Druva inSync is being used and has been our backup solution of choice to protect all our users data on corporate owned machines for both onsite and remote employees across the organization. Aside for a number of issues backing up OneDrive for Business and local backup client stop backing up randomly for several users for a period of time, eventually these issues got resolved. Biggest benefit is being able to manage backup from one central location.
A very good backup solution which is easy to deploy and manage.
What do you like best about the product?
We like how simple it is to deploy and manage. It also places a limited load on the client's processor. The cloud options are also a welcome addition. We like the data discovery and retention as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't anything we dislike about this product. It has been used many times to recover critical files for our users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a need to maintain backups for all of our travelers. Druva makes it easy to happen while people are on the road. Our support team also uses Druva backups to help build new client computers for existing users.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to look at all of the cloud options. There are a number of things you can do with the backups once they are in place.
Been a great add to our IT arsenal.
What do you like best about the product?
Pretty much a set it and forget piece of software. Works well and throttles as well so there is not a large effect on users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Bit pricey and depending on how far down the rabbit hole you go can get fairly "involved".

Endpoint backup
Always have your data ready!
What do you like best about the product?
Druva inSync gives you more options than Google Sync and OneDrive. Being able to have a robust amount of options in the cloud for a user or admin is great. Druva makes it easy for a user to restore data in a time where everyone is working from home is awesome.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is a bit high even for a small company to use. The cost difference between what is out there and what Druva provides could be reduced considerably. Even when trying to buy licenses we were told initially we had to buy in packs, so as a small company who only needs to add 1 or 2 every once and awhile becomes hard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have all of our laptops syncing to the cloud so even if we need to a restore it is seamless. Ensuring everything is in the cloud due to faulty hardware on a laptop/desktop is paramount.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
- Make sure you set your settings before deploying to your company. Obviously this should be a no brainer by default, but it is highly recommended.
- A lot of companies that allow you to backup to the cloud do not have the settings that Druva gives you. OneDrive and Google Drive do not give you everything that Druva has. Make sure you set your admin users up a part from the regular user.
- As an ISO 27001 certified company it is nice to see Governance. Being able to track audit trails or DLP if necessary is a good feature to have.

Excellent Backup Software
What do you like best about the product?
Super easy to use, everything you need is in the Dashboard. One or two clicks and you're where you need to be. No need to click on each tab to find what you're looking for.
What do you dislike about the product?
We only use the inSync however our dashboard loads the phoenix and CloudRanger which we don't use. sometimes it takes some time to load,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backup size and with endpoint devices. We were hesitant to get a new backup software during Covid and everyone working from home. However, the initial backup was a success. Users were not aware of the full backup initial copy. We were able to throttle the bandwidth and select backup locations by location. We have users from India backing up to Mumbai and there were no issues.
Easy to setup, versatile application with great DLP tools
What do you like best about the product?
Client side ease of sign in and use; ease of SSO Setup.
Ability to differentiate what backs up by OS.
Legal Hold capabilities and the option to have a cheaper "preserved" user is huge and something other backup solutions don't offer.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the documentation on the website isn't 100% clear/adequate, but their solution engineers are definitely available and willing to help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needing to back up computer's of offboarded/furloughed employees and not having them at the full cost of a "backed up" user like other backup solutions.

Druva Insync is the best product I can find to backup my google drive and my users computers. Also you can set time per week when you can do the update.
What do you dislike about the product?
