Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
I like that we now do not have to worry about end users losing their data if they suffer from a catastrophic hardware failure.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that when migrating users over to a new computer that the first time you open Druva, that it would automatically log in with the logged in user and authenticate against AD instead of having to enter in their email and password manually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our two primary purposes for Druva was to secure end user data and to use it for migration purposes when we upgrade or replace their workstations. Albeit a small benefit, Druva migrates over a lot of custom settings that the end user has set.

Good File Backup Solution
We switched to Druva Phoenix a few months ago. So far it has met most of our needs. Setup was extremely easy. It only took me a few hours to backup most of our servers. The solution is very fast and reliable while still having a very reasonable cost. Their data deduplication feature not only saves us money but it allowed us to be aware of how much duplicated data we had and was able to clean it up.
I gave the product 4 stars because it currently does only file and MS-SQL backups. I would like to see a system state backup which I am told is coming. If it had that then it would cover all of our needs.
Continuous Data Protection for End-Users
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to deploy, use and manage. The software is very low impact on the system and overall bandwidth as a whole - our end users love that.
What do you dislike about the product?
Other than pricing, I have nothing to complaint about

it syncs as per the need efficiently and quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
after deleting user or device, there should be option to retrieve the data in some period of time.right now, if we delete ,its gone ,no way to get it back.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many people break/lose their machine, we could retrieve data in very quick/easy steps.

Solid Choice for user backup - easy-to-use management console, great support
What do you like best about the product?
Druva works well and it works silently. It's virtually no hassle at all for the end-users and they don't know it's there, which is what matters to them. The backup and restore process is very smooth.
Users are able to easily add and remove files from their backup folders all from within explorer. They also have the option of managing it online.
The admin console is straightforward and very easy to use. Important data is listed right on the main dashboard for a pleasant at-a-glance view of the environment.

What do you dislike about the product?
On our end, we've had some issues with our firewall letting all of the Druva traffic through. We've allowed the specified ranges we've gotten from support, but it seems like there's still some that doesn't fall under the specified ranges, requiring some extra work on our end.
The other thing I dislike is the process of restoring any files that may have accidentally been deleted. You can only restore files 1-at-a-time and you have to do it all completely manually. It's not a smooth process and it could very much be improved upon.

Backup and business continuity. It's great being to have a secure backup to the cloud that's reliable. The restoration has really come in handy for those times that a hard drive has failed.
Druva inSync Cloud - Set It and Fortget
What do you like best about the product?
Once the product has been deployed, maintenance and administration is very easy. All can administrative tasks (configuration changes, upgrades) can be done centrally through the administrative console.
Email alerting for possible issues (no backup for x days, configuration errors) can be sent to both administrators and end users.
PST backup that allows for block level backup of large pst files rather than the entire pst blob.
Block level backup, so only changed file blocks are sent over the network rather than the entire file.
Stored file dedupe and compression have been great. Are total client backup set is just over 19TB, however we are using 3TB of space as part of our SaaS license.

What do you dislike about the product?
The product can be temperamental to using bandwidth shaping technologies (we had issues with Fortinet traffic shaping). The product frequently "checks-in" with the administrative console, and if these packets are lost or delayed the client will be considered offline. We have resolved the issue early on in our deployment through whitelisting and remove all traffic associated with the InSync Cloud.
Initial deployment was a bit tedious due to using particular script generation, however this has been resolved through InSync's AD mapping product.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
End point system backup across all end user systems.
We have a number of systems that are predominantly remote and do not connect to the corporate network. Having backup on these systems has allowed us to rapidly recover from both hardware, and software related issues.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to consider backup windows with the total amount of users that will be backing up during a period of time. Multiple clients (especially on initial backup) will attempt to send data using as much upstream bandwidth as you allocate.
Great for endpoint backups and excellent service.
What do you like best about the product?
Druva inSync is one of the only endpoint backup products that gives us the option for an on-premises install. The backups are fast and efficient and easily managed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Migrating the product from one server to another was not as easy as we expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a backup solution for our off-site laptops which allowed them to be backed up to our data center. Druva inSync allowed us to keep the backups in house. The management console is very easy to learn. This product has saved us a lot of time.
