Good backup solution but challenges with the stability
It is recommended that people know what they are starting with. A part of our challenge was we bought and needed to implement it. So by the time we went to implement it, we were running into support issues. Also, make a market comparison to ensure that the product you choose is what you want to end up with. I would give it a six out of ten because restoring from a backup takes longer than usual. It should happen in a matter of hours, not a matter of days. We are yet to have an experience when trying to restore from Acronis that we haven't had to wait at least a couple of days for our server to be available for testing or working.

Lightweight, easy to install and configure, and it does its job automatically
One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console. Currently, Druva can manage only one Office 365 tenant per console. As a customer, I should be able to manage all Office 365 tenants from a single console. This is one product feature I am looking for.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"Druva is offered as a service so that we can access it from any enterprise-based browser or URL. We also have a single sign-on, which allows me to log in securely. Hence, I can easily access the system, configure it, perform day-to-day monitoring tasks, and check for any issues or configurations needed. Overall, it's a simple and easy-to-use tool with a high-speed and straightforward interface for management."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."
"It's incredibly fast."
 

Cons

"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"Druva inSync is very high in price. A general customer cannot afford this solution. Even if the product is good, people cannot afford such a high cost just for taking the backup. This is a recurring investment, and the customers have to pay for it every year. Druva is also yet to develop the channel and the channel or partner commitment."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Acronis Backup is cheaper. If you install it on a hypervisor, you only pay for a single license. It would be for the backup server, and everything else will be covered by it. In that sense, it becomes a much cheaper option. However, if you have virtual machines, then it can be more expensive. Also, if you have a lot of physical machines the cost can be higher because each entity will need a separate license. There is a monthly license cost."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."
"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"The pricing is good."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
