We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has a straightforward installation.""It's incredibly fast.""Druva inSync is very easy to use.""One of the most valuable features is it is available on the cloud, so I do not need to make a firewall. Second, the backup speed is outstanding. The third thing is that the section policy is very good and gives you a lot of flexibility and granularity regarding what you need to back up.""Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time.""We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that.""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.""If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."

"Scalability is very good.""NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology.""One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."

Cons
"I would like to see security improved in the next release.""The speed could be better.""It would be good if bare metal backups were possible.""The user quota is an area that needs to be improved.""The one area that needs to improve is the pricing.""The solution takes a lot of time during restoration.""This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud.""The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."

More Druva inSync Cons →

"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use.""Integration and reporting could be improved.""One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
  • "The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
  • "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."
  • "Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
  • "The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
  • "The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
  • "The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
  • More Druva inSync Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Our usage depends on the number of licenses we have. On the cloud, it's a pay-to-use kind of model which suits our needs well. Once we have the Cloud Manager installed, the licensing process is okay, regardless of whether we're running backups in the cloud or on-premises. Sometimes, we have to restrict the number of users as per the contractual agreement and in this case we simply cut down on the licensing."
  • "Cost could be lower."
  • "NetApp Cloud Backup has a subscription-based model and it is paid annually."
