Ahmad Mohammed EL-DADA

Manager, Information Technology at KUN Sports

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.

Comprehensive data protection and reliable backup capabilities enable smooth disaster recovery operations

The features of Quest NetVault Plus ( /products/quest-netvault-plus-reviews ) that are most valuable include the ability to pick up and restore to tape servers and external hard disks. It allows us to pick up from devices and then restore to the same devices or external server storage. Additionally, the application supports scanning files for malware before backup operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."

"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."

"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."

"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."

"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."

"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."

"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."

"Druva inSync is very easy to use."

More Druva inSync pros

"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."

"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."

"Quest NetVault Plus is quite effective for managing backups across multiple systems because we don't need to log in to the backup server to manage it; it's web-based, so from any system in the network, you can log in and manage everything."

"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."

"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."

"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."

"Quest NetVault Plus has a high level of stability."

"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."

Cons

"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."

"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."

"The speed could be better."

"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."

"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."

"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."

"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 support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."

More Druva inSync cons

"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."

"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."

"The stability of the solution is poor."

"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."

"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."

"Improvements could be made in the deduplication and data management capabilities. There is also a need for better security measures, as security is critical to ensure backups are safe and free from malware."

"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."

"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."

More Quest NetVault Plus cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."

"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."

"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."

"The pricing is good."

"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."

"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."

More Druva inSync pricing and cost advice

"The tool is expensive."

"When we purchased four licenses, we were given a very good price. However, it is still on the high side when compared to some other vendors."

"The price of our 12-month contract is approximately $1,500 AUD ($1,100 USD)."
