I talked with my client, who has a private cloud hosted in someone else's environment. He wants to take a backup for that, and I need an image backup for bare metal backup. But it's impossible on the cloud, and Phoenix is not doing it either. Even if we installed the deployment on an agent, it won't take it. However, Arcserve does it, so we're pushing for Arcserve for the same client. I prefer to go slow when setting up the solution because clients will have many doubts. The solution won't start up in ten minutes. If you take half an hour with the client and explain every step, setting up the solution will be very easy. I rate Druva inSync an eight out of ten. After COVID, many people have been traveling remotely, and that's not an easy task for offices. If you don't have a lot of data in your systems, you can go with Druva since backups can be done in a cloud-based manner, and everything is secure.
The solution is useful since it does not impact the system's performance. It works. Every time it is involved in syncing some data, it works in the background. It also reduces deduplication, so the most recent data can be there in Druva inSync. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Do a POC of what you have, once you have a clear understanding of the needs you're trying to meet. There are so many offerings out there, and some of them give you more than what you require. If you know what you want and you have clear requirements, then you can actually simplify your choices. I would rate Druva inSync at eight on a scale from one to ten.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it. I am very happy with this solution, I would rate Druva inSync a nine out of ten.
By offering 100% cloud backup, Druva, Veeam, and a couple of others are competing against customers who have predominantly storage on-premise, and by having hardware you have something that is going to eventually run out of capacity. It will need power, air conditioning and space It just doesn't make any sense, in today's environment, where we have fantastic amounts of bandwidth, both through dedicated links and through the internet, why would anybody want to own hardware and maintain it? I would rate Druva InSync a ten out of ten.
I would not recommend this solution to others. I am not happy with this solution. We got this solution for the cloud backup of our organization. If the cloud backup is not running and the user backup is not going to the cloud, then what is the point of using this solution? If users are having problems with their day-by-day work while Druva inSync is taking backups, what is the point of installing this software? We are planning to move to another solution next year. I would rate Druva inSync a two out of ten.
I would recommend this solution. It is a good solution from the customer's point of view. Customers are very happy with this solution. To adopt this solution, the mentality of valuing users' data is required in the customers. They should give a lot of value to users' data. In addition, they should be able to afford a backup for users' data. SMB customers can't afford this solution. Only profitable, big organizations can afford this solution. We mostly promote the Enterprise edition of this solution, and we are focusing on endpoint backup and cloud backup, but for both of these, the price is too high. We suggest trying this solution for the backup for 100 or 200 users from maybe the top management. People don't mind spending that much money on top management. The eastern part of India is not a very strong business area. In addition, people are not very comfortable with moving the data to the cloud. They still think that storing data on-premises is more secure. We have spent the past year educating the customers. I would rate Druva inSync an eight out of ten.

If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple. If you have a virtualized environment, Veeam is a good solution. If instead you have a physical database and are looking for a clustering kind of environment, Veritas is good. As a backup solution, Druva is the one that I trust. I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

Druva has a tie with Azure. We did not directly choose Azure as our cloud and we've not engaged in the procurement of a cloud. Druva can be used on the desktop, for laptop backups, and on your virtualized environment backup. I would recommend the solution to others. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten as it currently serves my purpose.

The beauty of the product is keeping it simple, rather than making it more complicated, which is what Druva did for a long time. As multiple features were added it made the product heavier and more complicated. We love the product and its offerings, and feel that it is the best product in the market.
