Carbonite Server vs Druva inSync comparison

"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."

"It seems reliable and easy to use."

"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."

"Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively."

"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."

"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."

"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."

"The solution is very stable."

"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."

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

"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."

"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."

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

"It has a straightforward installation."

"Druva inSync is very easy to use."

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

"The only thing that I would like to see improved is related to marketing. Currently, it is very difficult to find the right paper and stuff for me. Their marketing department should provide better information because currently, it is very difficult to find information on the internet. It was bought over by OpenText, and you won't be able to find a lot of information about this solution on their site. They should also provide training facilities for commercial purposes. Some of my colleagues recently went for pilot training, and they were technical. If I want to get trained, the training has to be more commercial. Currently, there is no such training for users like me."

"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."

"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."

"The stability has room for improvement."

"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."

"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."

"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet. Its public cloud support can be improved. I would love to see the public cloud support for object storage, and it would be great, but what I always hear from the folks at Carbonite is that in a lot of cases, it directly competes with their cloud offering. So, I don't know when or where that will go or if that will go anywhere, but we are hopeful to see something. The dashboard is a little outdated. If they gave it a facelift and put some better design around their dashboard, that would be tremendous. I generally care less about the visual aesthetics of an application as long as it does what it needed to do, which is true in the case of this solution. We also have the Microsoft 365 platform. Because they're two separate platforms, I have to log in to my Microsoft platform to manage it, and I have to log into my Carbonite server backup platform to manage it. Having these two coexist together in one management console is really what we're looking for, but we went for it knowing this. We also knew that there would be some integration coming down the road. So, we're again hoping to see some of that coming in 2021."

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

"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"

"The speed could be better."

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

"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."

"The product needs to improve its support."

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

"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."

"We pay 9,000 dollars per year for our license."

"The solution is open source."

"The pricing is between $120 and $150 per year."

"Its price is reasonable."

"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."

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

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

"The pricing is good."

"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."

"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."

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

"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
