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.

Provides fast access to files and offers a reliable backup solution without compatibility issues
Versioning control helps speed up data recovery by providing easy access to previous versions of files. This is particularly useful when moving backups to off-site storage and deploying them quickly during installations. My experience with Synology Backup's security features includes partitioning for production environments, regular scans for new threats, and support for multifactor authentication. Password security is also emphasized, meeting basic security requirements. Before choosing Synology, consider its sensitivity in your network infrastructure, especially for critical backup and storage tasks. Prioritize security, including testing and recovery procedures, and evaluate the device's performance to ensure it meets your needs effectively. Overall, I would rate Synology C2 Backup as an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."
"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."
"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."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."
"It's good for file services."
"I find Synology C2 Backup valuable for its speed, features, and server compatibility."
 

Cons

"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"Druva inSync is very high in price. A general customer cannot afford this solution."
"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."
"I have faced some challenges with these integrations."
"To make Druva inSync better, they can implement additional DLP."
"Auto registration of non-domain machines is missing, as registration is a manual process of creating a key and adding it to the client."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"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."
"Improving the pricing would be great."
"The main drawbacks of Synology C2 Backup are slower processes in certain regions and less frequent updates."
