Druva inSync Review

PROS: Druva's configuration allows users to tailor their experience based on their preferences. For example, it gives us the freedom to choose which files to back up and how often these files get backed up.

CONS: So far, we haven't figured out a way to extract lists yet. Hopefully, this is something that can be made possible soon.

PROS: Druva manages to perform all of its functions without being too clunky. I might even go as far as to say that its inconspicuous design (at least where the users are concerned) is one of its greatest benefits. It does its job of safely backing up data with ease. Its interface is designed for the utmost efficiency and is simple enough for most users to understand. It has features that engage users right from the dashboard too. And lastly, it's accessible online too--a benefit that we've all been able to fully utilize.

CONS: Admittedly, we've hit some snags while setting up Druva for our business. Our company firewall somehow filters some of its data, despite our careful configuration of defined ranges and whatnot. When this happens, recovering the filtered out data becomes an unnecessary task for me and my team. The task itself is not something that I look forward to; it's laborious, time-consuming, and manual.

PROS: For one, getting started and restoring files through Druva is just as easy as 1-2-3. We've been able to customize it based on our preferences too. Not to mention, their support team is top-notch! They're constantly introducing updates and new technology--we can't wait to see what's in store for next year.

CONS: I love everything about this tool!

PROS: It doesn't matter where I am, Druva secures all of my files reliably. As someone who is affiliated with a global law firm, this is quite an impressive feat because we have users scattered all around the globe.

CONS: Most times, the program itself is barely noticeable. However, when it backs up a sizeable amount of data, it does tend to slow down the performance of my device.

PROS: This is much better than its competitors, Acronics and Veritas DLO! It doesn't store details in clients' devices, for one. Not to mention, it works in just about any computer setup.

CONS: It's a bit pricey, but the product quality more than makes up for the steep price.

PROS: Perhaps one of Druva's main selling points is its simple and easy-to-use interface. Once you've installed it, it works quietly in the background. One will barely notice that it's there. It works well as a monitoring device too--inconspicuous and reliable.

CONS: There have been some complaints filed regarding CPU problems during backup. We have yet to establish direct reasoning for this, but we're investigating the matter.

PROS: It runs silently on the background--efficient and reliable.

CONS: The support system needs improvement.

PROS: I love how it automatically secures data for our users. Druva secures our end users' data so we can confidently push forward in our business with them.

CONS: It takes a while for some data sets to be recovered. Of course, the problem has more to do with the size of the data set rather than the tool itself.

PROS: It's simple to set up and use.

CONS: Its file encryption policies could use some updates. Right now, if a user edits some files and copies it, another user can no longer access the files externally. Files need to constantly be decrypted for collaboration.

PROS: Druva is well-documented and reliable. It automatically sends an email notification/confirmation whenever data gets restored--making the paper trail easy to trace. It's also easy to use and very intuitive. I think that this is a well-designed product, on the whole.

CONS: One issue that we've brought up with inSync is Druva's failure to process online OneDrive data. This can only be remedied by locally downloading the files at the moment. The auditing logs might benefit from some updates too. Right now, it's a bit difficult to pinpoint users who haven't been religiously backing up their files. Lastly, it should be noted that backing up and/or restoring larger data does take a while. In my case, the task needs to be done overnight. What's even more frustrating is that if my device crashes at any point during the restoration, I'd have to start at the very beginning.

PROS: Druva is everything that we've been looking for in a backup solution. We needed one that could work for different devices and operating systems, after all. Setting it up had been easy enough thanks to their support team.

CONS: I would suggest even more Saas backup integrations.

PROS: As soon as we had configured everything, the rest just came easy.

CONS: Using this is a no-brainer for us, but this doesn't make it easy for us to convince our users to use it as well.

PROS: With Druva working in the background, I don't have to constantly worry about backing up my PC at every turn. It gives me the confidence to work smoothly and without interruption.

CONS: I don't have any beef with the performance itself. However, I would appreciate it if the program would give prompts to let me know of every successful data backup.
