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

"The platform's most effective feature is quickly recovering virtual instances into a separate environment."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."
"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."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"If anybody is looking for a cost-effective and effective data backup and restoration solution, please go with Druva inSync."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"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."
"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"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 user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."
"Auto registration of non-domain machines is missing, as registration is a manual process of creating a key and adding it to the client."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The additional cost is cloud storage, which the public cloud provider charges."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"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."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
"The pricing is good."
