We performed a comparison between Druva inSync and Veritas NetBackup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two SaaS Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"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."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"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."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"I am comfortable with using this product."
"Good graphical user interface. It's easy to create policies and to do installs."
"Veritas NetBackup Automatic Image Replication and CloudCatalyst features allow me to replicate deduped backup images from one site to a remote site, as well as duplicating deduped images to the Cloud (i.e. AWS S3, etc.)"
"The most valuable feature is replication because, using NetBackup replication, we can have disaster recovery of the data we have."
"The reporting is very good, with all of the details highlighted and very clear."
"Deduplication is quite efficient. It is not a complex product. It is quite simple."
"Veritas NetBackup is a scalable solution."
"Specific features that I could not do without are SLPs for replication and duplication control and AIR which makes DR easy."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"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."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"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."
"Lacks a reporting feature."
"Technical support only gets back to us the following morning."
"I would like to have support enabled for cloud backups."
"It should be able to integrate with the cloud. If we leverage a cloud in the future for backup, there should be very fast help and more options for customers to choose from."
"GUI needs to be more user-friendly."
"What needs to be improved in Veritas NetBackup is its interface, e.g. they should make it more user friendly. Scalability for this product could still be improved, particularly its hardware appliance scalability."
"There is a big change in Veritas. In the past, we could easily change servers or appliances and continue working by restoring the catalog. We could change servers from Linux to Linux or Linux to Solaris and perform catalog restores to continue working. But with the new version, we are forced to engage Veritas' professional services, which is too expensive."
"Technical support is somewhat slow and is in need of improvement."
