Trusted solution for endpoint backup with storage, and the technical support is good
The primary use case of this solution is as an endpoint backup and storage Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup. As an example, with Veeam, you have to do multiple things to start the backup. The user quota is an area that needs to be…

Has a straightforward backup process
It required 2-3 people to deploy. It is deployed in a hybrid manner. It took almost 2-3 hours for the process to complete. The deployment procedure begins by accessing the Veeam Backup website to download the necessary software. Subsequently, the software is managed on the server where installation is intended. Before proceeding with installation, it's recommended to have a backup, ensuring functionality on the server. The installation process itself is distinct, not combined with the backup sector. Each step is downloadable, contributing to the installation information. The final step involves creating a backup job. Users can choose the backup type they prefer, whether it's full, implemented, or differential. Following this, the backup can be saved on desired media, such as servers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's incredibly fast."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"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."
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."
"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"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."
"It is a flexible, simple, and scalable software-based solution. It has agentless functionality with specific hypervisors and agent-based functionality with specific operating systems. It gives you the flexibility to use your own hardware and back up physical Windows, Linux, IBM AIX, and Oracle Solaris systems as well as VMware VMs, Hyper-V VMs, and Nutanix VMs from one console. It also has integration with major applications that most companies are using, such as Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. It has integrations, not just for the backup on the image, host layer, or hypervisor, but also for performing an application-consistent backup. It is helpful in backing up to the tape, cloud, DR site, etc. It is really flexible. It is really amazing that you can restore any backup on VMware, Azure, or AWS. As compared to the other solutions in the market. Veeam has really integrated a lot in the past years. It has the best performance and perfect replication."
"They introduced a new feature called the Immutable Repository feature, which helps protect environments from malware attacks that target backup file extensions."
"Its simplicity and the fact that it just works are most valuable. We kind of set it up and generally forget about it. It does what we need it to do in the background, and it doesn't involve a lot of management."
"I have found one of the most valuable features to be the integrity of the backups."
"It is a stable product with useful snapshot and replication features."
"This is easy to use with a simple restore feature."
"I like Veeam a lot because it solves problems, is stable, and runs very well."
"Replication is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"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 user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"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 one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"The speed could be better."
"Offering mobile apps that give engineers a global view of his backup regime would be a "nice to have" feature."
"There is some complexity we have experienced when using the solution that should be simplified."
"They need a better solution for backend storage."
"The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."
"Add an archive option to support legal obligations."
"I have issues with the licensing."
"There should be better use of the external hard drives."
"The replicating from Veeam Backup Replication to Azure cloud could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"The pricing depends on the number of clients. We pay 10,00 USD per year. On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"The software subscription model can be once a year, or every three years, or every five years."
"The license cost is per socket, per processor. We can have one license with two processors and we can cover everything inside of the test environment that we have."
"When it comes to pricing for a backup solution for data centers, you do not care about the price. We just care about the service and want it to be reliable. In terms of subscription, it really makes sense. When you want to use all the functionalities it is good that Veeam did the subscription-based model, this is what gives it the most strength on the price."
"I would say that the product is fairly priced."
"If you have Exchange, Oracle, SQL, or a supported SAN, then I suggest getting at least an Enterprise edition. It’ll pay for itself in no time."
"The price is reasonable."
"Veeam is more reasonably priced than some competing products."
