Acronis Cyber Protect and Druva inSync are both players in the data protection market, tailored for different needs. Acronis Cyber Protect stands out for its strong backup and cyber protection features, making it a versatile option across varied environments. In contrast, Druva inSync excels in cloud-native endpoint backup with robust collaboration tools.

Features: Acronis Cyber Protect offers robust backup capabilities, universal restore features, and extensive cyber protection. It supports physical, virtual, and cloud environments, providing flexibility in deployment. Druva inSync provides strong cloud integration, focusing on endpoint backup and offering notable features like data governance and collaboration tools.

Room for Improvement: Acronis Cyber Protect could enhance integration with databases and simplify its user interface while reducing complexity during setup. Some users report the need for a more modern interface. Druva inSync might address issues with high pricing, which may impede adoption among smaller businesses. Improving system performance during backups could also be beneficial.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Acronis Cyber Protect supports diverse deployment options, including on-premises and hybrid cloud environments. Customer feedback highlights mixed experiences with technical support and response times. Druva inSync, tailored for cloud-only deployments, simplifies deployment but lacks on-premises options.

Pricing and ROI: Acronis Cyber Protect offers various licensing structures appealing to different business sizes, balancing cost with feature sets, though some configurations are higher-priced. Druva inSync presents a straightforward licensing model yet is perceived as costly, particularly for SMEs.

Encounter challenges in troubleshooting but experience efficient customer support

The application itself is a bit bloated. Although it has a lot of features when it comes to troubleshooting, we don't basically know where to start even though we do give them the log files to troubleshoot they don't give us a proper solution set. So I would say because it's bloated, it's a bit more difficult to troubleshoot where you get certain errors. From my side, on the POC I didn't really need to do much. It's only after we discovered there was a compatibility issue with the application that the client was running that we actually had to do a lot of log file shipping to Acronis themselves and getting solutions because of other problems. So on a day-to-day basis, you don't even maintain it, you just forget about it. You get alerts, but usually in between. It's quite easy to manage. To be honest with you, since I didn't really test that option of Acronis Cyber Protect, it's supposed to make everything feasible and easy to manage but I never got the option of testing it out, so I cannot really say at this stage.

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 most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."

"Centralized management is valuable to us."

"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."

"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."

"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."

"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."

"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."

"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."

"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."

"It has a straightforward installation."

"Druva inSync is very easy to use."

"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."

"All the data is well encrypted. In addition, the data is split into pieces so that if an endpoint is attacked or compromised with any kind of ransomware, the compromised machine can be relocated or restored. All the data that was previously backed up can be restored from the cloud. It has a lot of security features. Druva currently offers only the cloud version on AWS. Being a cloud solution, Druva goes by a lot of security compliances and provides a security portfolio. People are very skeptical of the data security in cloud solutions, and Druva has given consideration to that. It has some good geo-location features. If a machine is lost, when the machine is switched on and connected to the internet, that machine can be geo-located and tracked. It also has got the geo-wipeout feature. If someone tries to take out the data from a lost machine, they won't be able to do that. The moment an IT admin comes to know that the machine is no longer with a user, he or she can auto-run the geo-wipeout feature so that the data cannot be read by any third party. Duality replication is a unique thing about this solution. Everybody's data is not backed up if the data is common. Similar data is not backed up from other machines. The data backup also happens very smoothly. The bandwidth choking is very less. When the data is getting backed up, the users do not even get to know. There is no impact even when the users are not using high-speed bandwidth."

"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."

"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."

More Druva inSync pros

Cons

"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."

"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."

"The replication part and failover are areas in which improvements are required."

"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."

"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."

"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."

"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."

"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"I would like to see security improved in the next release."

"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"

"To make Druva inSync better, they can implement additional DLP."

"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."

"The product needs to improve its support."

"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."

"If I could have an accelerator or something to back up the solution on the cloud, that would be helpful. Also, it would be helpful if the accelerator could give me a buffer of a couple of days for any kind of immediate recovery on an offsite."

"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."

More Druva inSync cons

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."

"Pricing is what it is. I don't shop around once I find a good solution. I insist they maintain ongoing support year after year for updates and tech support."

"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."

"The pricing is reasonable. However, it depends on the storage that you use. It would be great to have a package that we can use up to a certain size of the backup, this would allow us to know what the price is going to be up to that capacity."

"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."

"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."

"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."

"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"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 price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."

"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."

"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."

"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."

"The pricing is good."
