Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature.""The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete.""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.""We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that.""If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple.""You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product.""It has a straightforward installation.""The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."

"The user interface is good.""The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward.""The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files.""What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console.""The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine.""I like the incremental backups and their failover.""The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."

Cons
"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.""I would like to see security improved in the next release.""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.""It would be good if bare metal backups were possible.""The one area that needs to improve is the pricing.""The solution takes a lot of time during restoration.""The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others.""This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."

More Druva inSync Cons →

"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution.""It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform.""In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud.""They could be more customer-friendly.""One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra.""The integration needs improvement.""Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible.""In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
