We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and Druva inSync based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."When it comes to Azure Backup, the advantage is that it's native and it's very easy to configure. We don't require a separate tool or manage something on a separate server. At the backend, it's managed by Microsoft itself, and we don't need to manage it."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the native backup capabilities."
"First of all, you can schedule a backup for the client. You can schedule it as you like. You can also control the bandwidth, so the backup will not utilize. The internet will depend on the bandwidth."
"One of the most valuable features is security and connectivity to the data."
"I like that it's a stable solution and their support is good. I think Microsoft's commercial force is superior."
"You can select the tiering for your backup and manage your cost."
"Azure Backup is easy to configure and restore."
"I have no issues with the stability at all. So I don't necessarily care about the stability of the product. I look more at whether or not can I recover. And I haven't had a failed recovery yet. I've got no failed recoveries of all my years."
"It's incredibly fast."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"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."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"The solution is still in its infancy; it's not a mature product yet."
"Azure Backup could improve the backup data copies because they are not immutable."
"I once tried restoring a Linux environment, and the size of the Linux VM or the data disk was really huge. It took a really long time to restore the environment and send the data from the storage to the disk. It took around 25 to 30 minutes, which was much longer than I anticipated. They can improve the duration of such restore operations. In the next release, it would also be good if they could reduce the duration for transferring the data from their storage to the actual storage while creating a virtual machine. They can reduce the duration or increase the data transfer rate."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
"In Avamar, the file-based restores are very quick and fast, whereas, in Azure Backup, VM restore is super easy, but if I have to do a file or a folder restore, I have to mount the entire VM image. I have to wait for some time for it to be mounted, and then I have to go inside and then check the file and copy it somewhere. It's a bit of a manual process, whereas in Avamar, you can directly select a file and folder, and it'll recover with whatever permissions you want."
"I would like to see more automation, integration, and security. The price could be better."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"The length of time it takes to restore is our main source of frustration. It would be beneficial to shorten the time it takes."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"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 product needs to improve its support."
"The speed could be better."
"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 user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
