An excellent addition for SMBs
It helps to solve a pain point in the Amazon Web Services architecture by allowing for the ability to automate the creation of Server snapshots (amongst other things) - this process has been both quite time consuming and finicky in the past. It is lightweight, cost effective and dynamic, and as the owner of an established tech SMB, this is exactly what we need - the competition is somewhat complex and over-egged. We will continue to use Cloudranger as part of our infrastructure management for the foreseeable future. Excellent service.
Fantastic product - would highly recommend
For the last few months, we've been using CloudRanger to automatically snapshot and rotate our EBS volumes by tag, as well as terminate servers at night when workloads are low. This has proven incredibly valuable for us as we lower costs and get assurance through automated tasks such as backups. No more cron - and no more worrying whether the cron has worked!
Best Backup Solution and Scheduler!
Managing and automating our AWS process on a large scale isn't practical within Amazon's Web Console. CloudRanger helped fully automate our EC2 and RDS backup process in minutes. With fluid scheduling and searchable logs, maintaining the integrity and high availability of our EC2 instances is now a hands-off process thanks entirely to CloudRanger.
Great product
It works great for our needs. We use it for automated backups and snapshotting. It was easy to setup and configure and we are happy with it. It allows us to automate some of our more time consuming, but critical, processes. Thanks!
CloudRanger provides peace of mind for our backups
We are still fairly new to AWS, so we were looking for a simple automation tool to help manage our EBS volume backups. We have been using CloudRanger for a few months now, and Iove the simplicity of the UI. At the moment we currently use it to take scheduled snapshots of our EBS volumes and to automatically delete any older snapshots over 30 days. The ability to schedule data retention times has been great for us, as we were previously forgetting to delete our older snapshots. It's saved us a lot of time and provides us with the backup strategy we required and it's always reliable. We would recommend for anyone looking to easily automate AWS backups.
CloudRanger works for Enterprise backups
This product is simple to set up and does exactly what we wanted it to do. We have been using CloudRanger since our initial evaluation around 6 months ago. It offers role-based permission access to control user rights which was vital for our organization. I've also been impressed with the knowledgeable and responsive support team. I recommend CloudRanger to any organization looking for peace of mind when it comes to managing their AWS backup strategy. Special thanks to Dave, Steven and the team for their ongoing support.
The Past 6 Months with Druva Insync
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.
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
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.
Good Software
Druva inSync Cloud - Set It and Fortget
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.
Initial deployment was a bit tedious due to using particular script generation, however this has been resolved through InSync's AD mapping product.
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.
