Ahmad Mohammed EL-DADA - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides server-side and backend application support but needs better interface
The last update made the interface look somewhat unfamiliar to users. Data recovery was technically flawless at some point. However, an update after a merger changed things. The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward as before, and we're facing some challenges. Specifically, one user encrypted their data, and since they have left the company, we cannot decrypt it. This has resulted in a loss of access to that data.

Simplifies backup, restore, and clone management across disparate applications and infrastructures
It's a simple solution to use. It's simple to configure everything that you need — configure your backups. It gives you an option to backup to the cloud or backup to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage. For example, if a customer is running on Azure NetApp files or on something cloud-based that they want to back up, they have the option of bringing their own licensing and cloud controls and NetApp will give them the storage to back up for as long as they want. When deleting backups, the controls are very intuitive so not just anyone can delete the backups, only the administrator is able to do that. Backing up and restoring is simple. It's easy. It's one click of a button. It's quite good, I like it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."
"It's incredibly fast."
"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."
"Druva is offered as a service so that we can access it from any enterprise-based browser or URL. We also have a single sign-on, which allows me to log in securely. Hence, I can easily access the system, configure it, perform day-to-day monitoring tasks, and check for any issues or configurations needed. Overall, it's a simple and easy-to-use tool with a high-speed and straightforward interface for management."
"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"The most valuable features are the support for both NAS and NFS."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"It's a user-friendly solution."
"It gives you an option to back up to the cloud or back up to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity in configuration and use."
 

Cons

"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"The speed could be better."
"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 product needs to improve its support."
"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"There are still a few things on SharePoint that they need to correct in terms of how they backup and restore."
"The features need to be updated to support the latest hardware, as it changes every year."
"For newcomers or people who have less experience, it's a complex solution that could be simplified somewhat."
"Better integration with third-party databases and applications is needed."
"I would like to see the graphical user interface improved to include all of the functionality because there are some things that you need to use the command-line interface for."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The pricing is good."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing was based on a three-year subscription and the price is good compared so some other vendors."
"The pricing is more or less the same as what we'd get from Veeam on Office 365, so it's fine."
"My understanding of the costs is that the price is fair, and not too expensive."
