Druva inSync Cloud - Set It and Fortget
What do you like best about the product?
Once the product has been deployed, maintenance and administration is very easy. All can administrative tasks (configuration changes, upgrades) can be done centrally through the administrative console.
Email alerting for possible issues (no backup for x days, configuration errors) can be sent to both administrators and end users.
PST backup that allows for block level backup of large pst files rather than the entire pst blob.
Block level backup, so only changed file blocks are sent over the network rather than the entire file.
Stored file dedupe and compression have been great. Are total client backup set is just over 19TB, however we are using 3TB of space as part of our SaaS license.

What do you dislike about the product?
The product can be temperamental to using bandwidth shaping technologies (we had issues with Fortinet traffic shaping). The product frequently "checks-in" with the administrative console, and if these packets are lost or delayed the client will be considered offline. We have resolved the issue early on in our deployment through whitelisting and remove all traffic associated with the InSync Cloud.
Initial deployment was a bit tedious due to using particular script generation, however this has been resolved through InSync's AD mapping product.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
End point system backup across all end user systems.
We have a number of systems that are predominantly remote and do not connect to the corporate network. Having backup on these systems has allowed us to rapidly recover from both hardware, and software related issues.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to consider backup windows with the total amount of users that will be backing up during a period of time. Multiple clients (especially on initial backup) will attempt to send data using as much upstream bandwidth as you allocate.
Great endpoint solution
What do you like best about the product?
Easy for end user to restore their data. It saves the IT department one less troubleshooting ticket. From the console, the ability to update the client easily. The ability to track the last successful backup of the end-user. The support has been great help.
What do you dislike about the product?
Losing the ability to continue with the Perpetual license. Being in the education environment there's no guarantee of continuing budget and the Perpetual license was the perfect model for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
That storage is a commodity and with the deduplication helps with minimizing the amount of data that is used

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Great for endpoint backups and excellent service.

Druva inSync is one of the only endpoint backup products that gives us the option for an on-premises install. The backups are fast and efficient and easily managed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Migrating the product from one server to another was not as easy as we expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a backup solution for our off-site laptops which allowed them to be backed up to our data center. Druva inSync allowed us to keep the backups in house. The management console is very easy to learn. This product has saved us a lot of time.

inSync Review from lead engineer
What do you like best about the product?
I love inSync is able to backup our laptops very easily. It means backup operations finish in a short time because of de-duplication. And now we can backup SaaS apps like Office 365. That is great helps for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
inSync has limited reports only. Competitors like box are able to report richer. And unfortunately, on-premise servers are not especially good. Master server doesn't have redundancy, edge servers can't use load balancer like F5, and storage node might be bottle neck.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We realize inSync can prevent our shadow IT. Users need cloud storage such as dropbox. However, using dropbox might have data loss. inSync provides good shared storage solutions with data loss prevention, because inSync can wipe data remotely and prevent to open other apps on iPhone.
Druva inSync is a winner!
What do you like best about the product?
Manageability of this product is so easy. I love the interface and the is very straight forward to making changes. setting up users, deploying via GPO, making changes after the deployment, Mac support using Windows wildcards. I also love that we can put users on hold and have the license recaptured. another great feature is that we can get super fast backups as the system does an amazing job at de-dupe and compression. the system also backs up user state, so icon placement user background etc can be easily restored when upgrading a users computer. 9/10
What do you dislike about the product?
undo changes would be nice, drag and drop and also being able to copy profiles. I would also like to see a way to share sub level folders with different permissions over the parent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
sync to cloud for our remote and corporate users as well as share between users. super easy and even though we are only a few months into it, the product has a super comfortable feel to it. when we have had to go back and do restores, even user-state restores the process is simple and fast. This product is a winner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Contact their sales team and get a demo installed. this product has what you are looking for and the support is VERY responsive should you run into an issue.
Great backup solution, easy to manage/integrate.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the integration with AD and the ability to map using profiles. The profiles allow you to map using OUs and select different server locations (for different GEOs) for better up/down speeds.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface can be confusing, and AD mapping is not always straight forward. However once you get past the learning curve, things become substantially easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to Druva we had a complete lack of backup solution. Druva allowed us to easily push a backup solution to our users and protect our data. We also enjoy utilizing it's restore features for when we upgrade our users to new laptops. It makes it easy to restore their computer to how it was.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to create an infrastructure using AD Mappings. It will make adding new users significantly easier, especially when adding users in different geological locations.
