Featured Reviews

MuhammadAzhar Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplify compliance and management of multiple backups with centralized cloud solutions
AWS Backup could benefit from including more services. Currently, it only includes around ten services, while AWS offers over three hundred plus services. Also, it would be helpful if AWS Backup could integrate logs more thoroughly. This would allow not only new users but also experienced users to more easily check logs directly from AWS Backup.
SanjayMishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Lightweight, easy to install and configure, and it does its job automatically
One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console. Currently, Druva can manage only one Office 365 tenant per console. As a customer, I should be able to manage all Office 365 tenants from a single console. This is one product feature I am looking for.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It also saves costs and is quick."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"It works well as a backup and as a service."
"The most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup."
"AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"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."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"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."
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."
"Druva is offered as a service so that we can access it from any enterprise-based browser or URL. We also have a single sign-on, which allows me to log in securely. Hence, I can easily access the system, configure it, perform day-to-day monitoring tasks, and check for any issues or configurations needed. Overall, it's a simple and easy-to-use tool with a high-speed and straightforward interface for management."
"It has a straightforward installation."
 

Cons

"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"This backup tool does the full backup of the entire snapshot server. I would like to have the option to not do the full server backup."
"To create a plan and for all the configuration, one has to do multiple steps, which could be organized in a much simpler way, making the user experience better."
"Only the price could be improved."
"If AWS Backup were a hybrid solution that also supported on-premises backups then it would be very helpful, especially if you are doing a migration to the cloud."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"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 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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."

"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
