Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete.""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 tool has good features. The backup is also accurate.""Druva inSync is very easy to use.""It has a straightforward installation.""You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product.""It's incredibly fast.""Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."

"Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition.""The file system backup (by far, the most used) is the most valuable feature.""The solution is easy to use.""This solution is quite stable because we have only three users.""I have used Micro Focus Data Protector for the file backup facilities. My primary use of the software is to backup file data.""I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data.""The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication.""Performs the backup properly and protects our data."

Cons
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud.""The user quota is an area that needs to be improved.""The product needs to improve its support.""The solution takes a lot of time during restoration.""The user quota is an area that needs to be improved.""The speed could be better.""The one area that needs to improve is the pricing.""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."

More Druva inSync Cons →

"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups.""In terms of what can be improved, I would say integrations with MongoDB. We use MongoDB and we need to go to scripts to do backups. We need more integrations.""The online backups of Office 365 have room for improvement. This is now available for the Exchange Online part of Office 365, but we're still waiting for SharePoint Online, Teams, etc. We know that it's coming, but it takes time.""I do not think that this solution is relevant in the current IT market. They have not upgraded their features and functionalities which makes it difficult for them to remain competitive.""Integration with the market applications must be improved, such as MS Exchange, MS Active Directory, SAP and Oracle. Other backup tools are more efficient with the integrated backups.""People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison.""VM backups needs to be improved. They need to make it similar to the way Veeam and Commvault are doing the virtual backups.""Virtualization."
