Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It can be used in virtually any environment we have onsite.""The most valuable features are the special plugins such as SAP HANA databases, Microsoft SQL, and various types of virtualization.""Bacula is pretty stable.""The solution has extensive documentation and a very active community.""It brought many advantages - such as the learning curve being very light.""It works great and it provides you with several standard tools to restore your backup, even after a big failure.""It is easy to scale Bacula Enterprise even if your system is growing tremendously in data and servers."

"It has a straightforward installation.""We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that.""It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible.""You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product.""It's incredibly fast.""The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature.""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."

Cons
"It could improve its interface or offer a specific screen for the manager of the company.""Easier setup and configuration, perhaps including a GUI, would be an improvement.""The initial setup could be a bit easier.""We would like to see an improvement in the functionality of the GUI.""A more user-friendly interface (GUI) can be developed.""We are looking for a unique interface that can rule both enterprise and open source editions. Such a thing does not yet exist.""Bacula needs a graphical user interface because, for administrators, the command-line interface is okay, but for the average user it is not very easy."

More Bacula Enterprise Cons →

"The product needs to improve its support.""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.""This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud.""The solution takes a lot of time during restoration.""It would be good if bare metal backups were possible.""The one area that needs to improve is the pricing.""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."
