Provides fast access to files and offers a reliable backup solution without compatibility issues
Versioning control helps speed up data recovery by providing easy access to previous versions of files. This is particularly useful when moving backups to off-site storage and deploying them quickly during installations. My experience with Synology Backup's security features includes partitioning for production environments, regular scans for new threats, and support for multifactor authentication. Password security is also emphasized, meeting basic security requirements. Before choosing Synology, consider its sensitivity in your network infrastructure, especially for critical backup and storage tasks. Prioritize security, including testing and recovery procedures, and evaluate the device's performance to ensure it meets your needs effectively. Overall, I would rate Synology C2 Backup as an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."
"Druva inSync's automation has reduced manual intervention in my data management processes."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"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."
"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 initial setup is straightforward."
"I find Synology C2 Backup valuable for its speed, features, and server compatibility."
"It's good for file services."
 

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."
"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."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"The speed could be better."
"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"To make Druva inSync better, they can implement additional DLP."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"Improving the pricing would be great."
"The main drawbacks of Synology C2 Backup are slower processes in certain regions and less frequent updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
"The pricing is good."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"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."
"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."
