Carbonite Server vs Druva inSync comparison

"The Granular Restore of SQL feature has been a lifesaver more times than I can count. One of the main reasons for looking at Carbonite was their support for platforms like AIX and AS/400 Series."

"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."

"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."

"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."

"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."

"It seems reliable and easy to use."

"The solution is very stable."

"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."

"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."

"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."

"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."

"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."

"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."

"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."

"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."

"The only thing that I would like to see improved is related to marketing. Currently, it is very difficult to find the right paper and stuff for me. Their marketing department should provide better information because currently, it is very difficult to find information on the internet. It was bought over by OpenText, and you won't be able to find a lot of information about this solution on their site. They should also provide training facilities for commercial purposes. Some of my colleagues recently went for pilot training, and they were technical. If I want to get trained, the training has to be more commercial. Currently, there is no such training for users like me."

"The stability has room for improvement."

"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."

"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet. Its public cloud support can be improved. I would love to see the public cloud support for object storage, and it would be great, but what I always hear from the folks at Carbonite is that in a lot of cases, it directly competes with their cloud offering. So, I don't know when or where that will go or if that will go anywhere, but we are hopeful to see something. The dashboard is a little outdated. If they gave it a facelift and put some better design around their dashboard, that would be tremendous. I generally care less about the visual aesthetics of an application as long as it does what it needed to do, which is true in the case of this solution. We also have the Microsoft 365 platform. Because they're two separate platforms, I have to log in to my Microsoft platform to manage it, and I have to log into my Carbonite server backup platform to manage it. Having these two coexist together in one management console is really what we're looking for, but we went for it knowing this. We also knew that there would be some integration coming down the road. So, we're again hoping to see some of that coming in 2021."

"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."

"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."

"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."

"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."

"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."

"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."

"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."

"I would like to see security improved in the next release."

"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."

"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"

"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."

"The solution is open source."

"We pay 9,000 dollars per year for our license."

"Its price is reasonable."

"The pricing is between $120 and $150 per year."

"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."

"The pricing is good."

"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."

"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."

"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."

"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."

"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
