Carbonite Server vs Druva inSync comparison

"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."

"The Granular Restore of SQL feature has been a lifesaver more times than I can count. One of the main reasons for looking at Carbonite was their support for platforms like AIX and AS/400 Series."

"It seems reliable and easy to use."

"Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively."

"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."

"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."

"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."

"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."

"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."

"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."

"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."

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

"Druva inSync is very easy to use."

"It has a straightforward installation."

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

"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."

"The only thing that I would like to see improved is related to marketing. Currently, it is very difficult to find the right paper and stuff for me. Their marketing department should provide better information because currently, it is very difficult to find information on the internet. It was bought over by OpenText, and you won't be able to find a lot of information about this solution on their site. They should also provide training facilities for commercial purposes. Some of my colleagues recently went for pilot training, and they were technical. If I want to get trained, the training has to be more commercial. Currently, there is no such training for users like me."

"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."

"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."

"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet. Its public cloud support can be improved. I would love to see the public cloud support for object storage, and it would be great, but what I always hear from the folks at Carbonite is that in a lot of cases, it directly competes with their cloud offering. So, I don't know when or where that will go or if that will go anywhere, but we are hopeful to see something. The dashboard is a little outdated. If they gave it a facelift and put some better design around their dashboard, that would be tremendous. I generally care less about the visual aesthetics of an application as long as it does what it needed to do, which is true in the case of this solution. We also have the Microsoft 365 platform. Because they're two separate platforms, I have to log in to my Microsoft platform to manage it, and I have to log into my Carbonite server backup platform to manage it. Having these two coexist together in one management console is really what we're looking for, but we went for it knowing this. We also knew that there would be some integration coming down the road. So, we're again hoping to see some of that coming in 2021."

"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."

"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."

"The stability has room for improvement."

"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."

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

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

"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."

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

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

"The product needs to improve its support."

"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."

"We pay 9,000 dollars per year for our license."

"Its price is reasonable."

"The pricing is between $120 and $150 per year."

"The solution is open source."

"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."

"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."

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

"The pricing is good."

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

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

"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."

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