Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's support team is excellent."
"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."
"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."
"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"We love the product and its offerings, and feel that it is the best product in the market."
"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 main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
 

Cons

"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."
"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
"I have faced some challenges with these integrations."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"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."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"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."
"To make Druva inSync better, they can implement additional DLP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost depends upon the amount of data that needs to be protected."
"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
"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."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The price is quite good, 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."
