Automated backups have protected critical files and restore deleted SharePoint data quickly
The features of Datto SaaS Protection that I have found the most valuable and useful so far include performing a backup every four hours, so I can look at multiple versions of that file and find the most compatible version that I need. There are many choices for the file, making it a nice broad choice. The automated backup feature helps my data protection strategy by giving me confidence that we will not lose any data if there was ever ransomware or if we had someone who was wanting to do harm with our system; we would be able to restore our data. The usefulness of advanced search in Datto SaaS Protection is that I can always find the file that I am after, and it is quick to find files. Datto SaaS Protection's point-in-time restore feature has been effective in recovering data so far; every time I have looked for something, I have been able to find a version for it, and it is soon recovered. It is fast and will recover any size of data. Datto SaaS Protection's reporting tools have helped maintain data protection transparency in my organization by giving me confidence that our data is there and it is being backed up.

Single item recovery has transformed mailbox backups and now provides faster, precise restores
Druva inSync can improve if we can integrate a chatbot. Instead of going through the portal, if there were a chatbot and we could restore mailboxes and groups by chatting with the chatbot, that would be an added feature. The restoration of notes is a limitation. Druva inSync is not capable of restoring notes. If users have something saved in notes, Druva inSync will not be able to restore it. If it could enhance the capability to restore notes, that would also be helpful. If it were to enable chatbot functionality and by just saying to the chatbot to restore a mailbox or restore an item to the mailbox, that would enhance productivity. There is some limitation of restoration for certain folders. If those could be fixed, it would be a perfect product.

Pros

"The automated backup feature helps my data protection strategy by giving me confidence that we will not lose any data if there was ever ransomware or if we had someone who was wanting to do harm with our system; we would be able to restore our data."
"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"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."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"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."
"Customers are very happy with this solution."
"Druva inSync's automation has reduced manual intervention in my data management processes."
 

Cons

"Datto SaaS Protection could be improved by addressing the issue that when you look at the cutting time and go to another time, it does not take you back to the same location."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"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 backup time is very poor. The backup runs continuously. It goes on from morning till night. The system performance also becomes very poor when Druva inSync is running."
"The speed could be better."
"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The pricing is good."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"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 is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
