"The stability is okay."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."
"It's incredibly 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 recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"Backup image browse times should be faster."
"Its ability to back up very large objects can be improved. In terms of new features, they can include the ability to use cloud services, like S3, more natively."
"Some customers need to back up to tape, but Avamar lacks support, so it costs a lot."
"The reporting should be improved, as we currently have to use another tool for that purpose."
"When you get down to doing certain things, such as somebody wants a particular file restored, the process by which you do that is stupid. You kind of have to know exactly where to look for in order to find it. Even on older backup products that I've used, I didn't have that kind of problem. If we were looking for a file with a particular kind of a name, the solution would find that file anywhere irrespective of where it resides within the backup system. So, we didn't have to know the name of the specific server, the specific timeframe, almost all the characters of the file name, and all kinds of data in order to find a file. In Avamar, we got to know these details. We've gone around and around with them on that, and their attitude seems to be that it is working just fine. There is nothing for them to improve. The organizational system of other products that I'm working with, such as Zerto and Cohesity, seems to be centered around the tasks that you would most commonly do and want to do, as opposed to we've laid it out in a really neat technical hierarchy."
"It would be better if we could integrate easily with other platforms."
"The solution should improve its tape-connectivity features."
"The stability could improve, a lot of scheduled backups failed at one time."
"The speed could be better."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"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 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."
