Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"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."
"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"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."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"The pricing could be lower."
"Its management can be improved."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"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 product needs to improve its support."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"The speed could be better."
"If I could have an accelerator or something to back up the solution on the cloud, that would be helpful. Also, it would be helpful if the accelerator could give me a buffer of a couple of days for any kind of immediate recovery on an offsite."
"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."
