Reliable Backup System
What do you like best about the product?
It's come in handy when I needed to recover my information after I was faced with a broken laptop (literally, in pieces).
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to find something to dislike -- it's been extremely reliable since my experience using it (almost 5 years).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Druva inSync allows me to have peace of mind that my data is being stored safely and can be recovered easily.
Incredibly simple and cost effective
What do you like best about the product?
It's simple to set up and start backing up data to the cloud. We saw 15x deduplication rates which has saved us a significant amount over standard data protection offerings that require hardware or tape.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it allowed us to back up our local Oracle instance, but that's not supported today.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were seeing our data sizes growing and it felt like the hardware and tape guys were happy to just sell us more hardware and tape capacity. We heard about Druva from Gartner and liked the idea that we could store this all in the cloud at a lower cost than adding more hardware. We also liked that since it's an "as a service" offering we pay as we consume it, so we don't have the overhead and capex costs associated with hardware. We also have visibility to the deduplication and realize we were saving multiple copies and paying for more storage. With Druva Phoenix they dedupe it before moving to the cloud so we can see the dedupe rate and we pay less. We have seen a 15x deduplication rate and in the first 9 months a TCO reduction of almost 40% so far. We also have workloads on AWS and feel that Druva's new apollo offering will allow us to protect all out cloud applications, workloads and on premise data with one pane of glass, making backup and recovery easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely recommend this solution if you want something that is as a service. It's simple to set up and administer, my back up guys love it. It's saved us significant money in the short term, so far. They use AWS as their back end, so I know it's safer than even my security internally.
A Silent Partner
What do you like best about the product?
Our company has recently started using Druva and it has definitely added a piece of mind. I have always carried around a thumb drive, backing up to it whenever I remember to, and knowing we now have everything important updated to a cloud based back up daily gives a sense of security for our data. The software is straightforward, easy to use and is configurable and managed by our IT department.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far nothing to dislike has arisen, software works as expected and does a good job.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a digital age filled with soft data and ever changing laws/requirements, having everything backed up is the best way to go. This software provides a simple solution that gives peace of mind and security.

PST Backups
Great solution from user backup
What do you like best about the product?
It only backups up the data of the user. It does not wast time and space in backing up trash
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, on the laptops, due to mobility, the agent stalls. Solution: reboot the machine
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now I have full and reliable backups from my users. Before Druva I had no confidence on my user backups
Druva has saved our work multiple times

Have not run into this problem yet! So far, I am very satisfied with the system. Highly recommend it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Have had multiple users with bad hard drives and we were able to restore their data from a cloud backup. It was very simple to use and users were very satisfied that their work was not lost!!

Great support, easy to use interfaces, very cusomiseable.

Desktop backup for large PSTs
Good Software
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity and agility the software provides. That way I always feel safe
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like the interface, unfortunately the software could be more intuitive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I realized benefits in terms of backup time and agility in the process, because the user can go using the machine, that the backup will be performed in backgrund
Efficient, technological and intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
I like the work that has been done on the new version since the 5.5, we now have a reliable tool compared to the 5.1
The MAPI part has been improved is now stable even with MS Office 2016.
The administration interface was redesigned with pragmatism.
The user support is always listening to help on IT projects, it is reassuring for the management of risks
The deduplication system is very efficient

What do you dislike about the product?
It is not possible to customize the reports, it is nevertheless an option that was announced for version 5.8.1.
There is a difference between a fromscratch installation and an update (from version 5.4 to 5.8 for example).
Especially on the location of the InSync folders, this is a real problem for managing incidents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Avoiding loss of data is the main business problem solved, there is also the possibility for users to access their data remotely through the WEB interface which gives a real benefit
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is important to open a real project to study the need of your business. Notably on the choice of infrastructure. The location of the nodes and the installation via SCCM with activation by Token. Once the installation is in place, there is very little functional administration. Thanks to deduplication, the volume of data will take up less space. For example we use 67 TB for 152 TB saved, ie a deduplication of 55%
Adam's Druva review for Build Group
What do you like best about the product?
The easy management through the centralized web console is really nice. Also, the alert emails for any missed backups or errors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there's nothing I really dislike about this product. It's very easy to use and has saved us several times when we had laptops stolen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a construction company, so we have users with laptops all over the place. Having a centralized management console to track all backups is great and all the end users need is an Internet connection.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend trying this out for an off-site backup solution. We use this along with their Phoenix product to cover the server end. Couldn't be happier with either product, great support when needed as well.
