Featured Reviews

Johan Camp - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable, easy to set up, and offers good pricing
In the future, we are looking for solutions combining both local and cloud backup from a single management platform that was initially not yet available. There were two different platforms at Barracuda. What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed. It's difficult as they rely on Azure too. However, that would be convenient from a user perspective.
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

"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"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."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"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."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."
 

Cons

"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
"The price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"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."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"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."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
