We performed a comparison between Druva inSync and Veritas Backup Exec 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."The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"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."
"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."
"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"It's incredibly fast."
"Synthetic backup is valuable. It gives you the possibility to do a synthesized backup, which means that it combines a full backup and incremental backup data and gives it to you in one stream. So, you don't have to restore the full backup and then later go and restore the incremental backup. You can do that in one go."
"The solution is good for small and medium-sized businesses."
"It is one of the most stable backup solutions."
"Veritas is good for small environments."
"One of the valuable features is the instant recovery for VMs. It reduces the RTO (Recovery Time Objective) drastically."
"It is a good backup tool."
"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."
"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."
"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 user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The speed could be better."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"We've experienced some performance issues with Backup Exec. The backup jobs take too long to complete."
"In the future, their console should not be complicated."
"The cost is quite high. Along with the general costs, the supposed agents that you have to buy for the various options that you want to use ends up driving the costs higher as well."
"I would like to be able to create a restore task that can be scheduled so that the same restore action will be performed automatically."
"Veritas Backup Exec should improve by having a user portal that customers can use."
"Whenever a job fails, it would be a great improvement to be able to resume the job from that feature. Suppose a job was started this morning and that it is going on while there are interruptions like network issues, server restart issues, server connectivity issues, services stopping, etc. For some reason, let's assume that the job failed or that it was mistakenly canceled by another person. It will be a great improvement if that failed job can be continued."
"The solution could improve by having better documentation."
"One area that needs improvement is SQL backup. Backup Exec doesn't support higher availability."
