Ahmad Mohammed EL-DADA - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides server-side and backend application support but needs better interface
The last update made the interface look somewhat unfamiliar to users. Data recovery was technically flawless at some point. However, an update after a merger changed things. The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward as before, and we're facing some challenges. Specifically, one user encrypted their data, and since they have left the company, we cannot decrypt it. This has resulted in a loss of access to that data.
Edward Hore - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu
We use Veeam Data to back up our VMware infrastructure Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance. The support team provides answers whenever we need them. It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with. The…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."
"It's incredibly fast."
"I am not a direct user of this product, but my technical guys tell me that they like the product, and it is easy to use. We don't have any issues with it."
"The most valuable feature is the continuous backup."
"The good thing about Veeam is that its initial setup and usage are straightforward."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The solution is carefully designed to be easy to use - even if you're in a panic."
"One of the most valuable features is the simplicity of the solution's administration."
"It serves its intended purpose and it works well."
"Replication is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"The product needs to improve its support."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"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."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"There is always some room for improvement, especially with some of the different technologies such as DB2. Commvault has a DB2 agent, but Veeam still doesn't have it. We have to use the universal one for it."
"There is a lot of information, so maybe the dashboards could consolidate it."
"Device backup could be improved."
"The product must provide better security."
"The scalability of the product in large organizations is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution could improve the performance. We are not able to check the status of any system. Additionally, if there was an option to monitor server clusters it would be helpful."
"The cloud backups from Veeam Backup Replication have not been good. Addiotnaally, the backups of Office 365 and the overall performance can always be improved."
"It would be preferable if they could introduce a complete Linux version instead of relying solely on Microsoft for management. There should be a unified integration of all their products. Currently, there are various products like cloud backup and others that exist separately. It would be better if they could create a single comprehensive platform or product, as opposed to having disparate products that lack proper communication between them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
"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."
"The pricing is good."
"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 price is reasonable."
"It comes with a higher cost and it is an all-inclusive solution."
"The price is affordable."
"My understanding is that it is a fairly small price point."
"It's the market price. It isn't expensive, nor is it cheap."
"The cost is expensive. It will depend on how you are managing your environment, your requirements, and if you can easily manage a license. It's not that difficult, so you can manage it, but the cost is high, so you need to check directly with Veeam as well as the local partner so you can get the discount prices."
"The price of this product is very good."
"The license is a bit expensive."
