We performed a comparison between Dell Avamar 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."Source based deduplication is the most attractive feature as it drastically reduces the backup window."
"All the features in the system are highly valuable."
"It's simple to configure."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Data Domain and your VM stacks."
"The product is good for backups."
"The product has a proven track record of good backups without much of a failure ratio. It also has a good backup in terms of the compression ratio."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual backup."
"The backup and recovery speed is very fast."
"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."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"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."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"The solution could improve by having better integration and more flexibility."
"Performance can sometimes be affected when tools are utilized for tasks like backup or deep archiving."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It's not as good as it could be."
"The support is very bad."
"Backup image browse times should be faster."
"This solution could improve by introducing daily verifications and another repository."
"The user interface still needs to have some level of improvement. It could be more user-friendly and intuitive."
"Compared with Cohesity or Rubrik, which have some continuous data protection for backup and replication, this solution tends to lack in this area."
"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."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The speed could be better."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"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."
