We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that.""You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product.""The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete.""It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible.""Druva inSync is very easy to use.""One of the most valuable features is it is available on the cloud, so I do not need to make a firewall. Second, the backup speed is outstanding. The third thing is that the section policy is very good and gives you a lot of flexibility and granularity regarding what you need to back up.""It's incredibly fast.""Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."

"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost.""The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups.""The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency.""VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features.""It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent.""All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me.""The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it.""The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."

Cons
"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.""It would be good if bare metal backups were possible.""The speed could be better.""The solution takes a lot of time during restoration.""I would like to see security improved in the next release.""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 support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others.""The product needs to improve its support."

More Druva inSync Cons →

"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage.""Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup.""It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location.""It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once.""The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement.""Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran.""To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time.""The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
