Stable solution with a wider boost functionality, helping us eliminate the tape backup requirements
We use the solution to protect the applications running in the cloud or on-premises. Its wider boost functionality helps us eliminate the tape backup requirements The solution's most valuable feature is throttling the applications as per the bandwidth. Using it, we can adapt a method to work on…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products; it integrates well and is very simple to use, making it easy for him to make copies of very important files to the public cloud because it is fully integrated with his Networker and Avamar's tools."
"The solution's support team is excellent."
"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."
"Customers are very happy with this solution."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."
"It's incredibly fast."
"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."
 

Cons

"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."
"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"The product needs to improve its support."
"Druva inSync is very high in price. A general customer cannot afford this solution."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"To make Druva inSync better, they can implement additional DLP."
"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
