Ransomware recovery has become validated and protects critical workloads across multiple accounts
The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy. Consolidating those or offering a slimmer permission set for read-only backup (versus full restore) would help with security review friction. Cross-account restore into a target account still requires manual steps for KMS. If Clumio could handle re-encrypting with the target account's CMK during restore rather than requiring Multi-Region Key pre-staging, that would save significant preparation time. Also, the restore API could surface better progress telemetry since right now, large RDS restores are a bit of a black box until they complete or fail. Finally, DocumentDB and MongoDB Atlas backup support would round out our stack nicely.

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

"Clumio gave us a genuinely isolated vault that sits outside our AWS Organization's blast radius."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Clumio proved to be the most cost-effective option."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"Customers are very happy with this solution."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature, and requiring very little effort for implementation as well as the simplicity of configuration are all very useful."
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"We love the product and its offerings, and feel that it is the best product in the market."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."
"The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The restoration of notes is a limitation; Druva inSync is not capable of restoring notes, and there is some limitation of restoration for certain folders."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"Druva inSync is very high in price. A general customer cannot afford this solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"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."
"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."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"The pricing is good."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
