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 the solution is the ease of installation it provides its users."
"Bareos offers encryption on the fly, compression on the fly, and a robust and stable configuration."
"The most valuable feature about Druva is that it is 100% based in the cloud, scans the backups for ransomware, has a security element, includes unlimited uploads and downloads in the price, provides a granular approach to backup and restores so that customers can retrieve individual files, is incredibly fast, and dedupes all your data and only charges you for the amount of data that's been deduped as opposed to what it originally sees."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."
"Customers are very happy with this solution."
"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."
 

Cons

"Improvement is needed in the graphical web administration tool."
"The virtual machine backup is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"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."
"Auto registration of non-domain machines is missing, as registration is a manual process of creating a key and adding it to the client."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"Druva inSync is very high in price. A general customer cannot afford this solution."
"The speed could be better."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
