Solid backup tool with good scalability
The last scenario in which I used Bacula was for a customer who needed some open-source tool which could support encryption at that time. We managed to convince the customer to use Bacula to deploy it in their environment It was a very good project. The Bacula concept, topology, and networking…

Single item recovery has transformed mailbox backups and now provides faster, precise restores
Druva inSync can improve if we can integrate a chatbot. Instead of going through the portal, if there were a chatbot and we could restore mailboxes and groups by chatting with the chatbot, that would be an added feature. The restoration of notes is a limitation. Druva inSync is not capable of restoring notes. If users have something saved in notes, Druva inSync will not be able to restore it. If it could enhance the capability to restore notes, that would also be helpful. If it were to enable chatbot functionality and by just saying to the chatbot to restore a mailbox or restore an item to the mailbox, that would enhance productivity. There is some limitation of restoration for certain folders. If those could be fixed, it would be a perfect product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It brought many advantages - such as the learning curve being very light."
"Technical support is excellent in my opinion."
"It is easy to scale Bacula Enterprise even if your system is growing tremendously in data and servers."
"Bacula is very solid, very stable, and very scalable."
"The solution has extensive documentation and a very active community."
"The solution has had a tremendous impact on our public company, as we are now cost-effective and even better on performance with our restorations."
"The most valuable features are the special plugins such as SAP HANA databases, Microsoft SQL, and various types of virtualization."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of use; it works great and it provides you with several standard tools to restore your backup, even after a big failure."
"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."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"Druva allows us to be secure in knowing our clients are backed up."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
 

Cons

"The interface needs to be easier for adding new devices to be managed."
"Many features have been converted to commercial licensing, which restricts their availability."
"The initial setup could be a bit easier."
"It could improve its interface or offer a specific screen for the manager of the company."
"Relying solely on a desktop is a bit frustrating as its GUI isn't exactly responsive."
"Easier setup and configuration, perhaps including a GUI, would be an improvement."
"A more user-friendly interface (GUI) can be developed."
"We would like to see an improvement in the functionality of the GUI."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"I have faced some challenges with these integrations."
"Druva inSync is very high in price. A general customer cannot afford this solution."
"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."
"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 one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
