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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"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 way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."
"It's incredibly fast."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"The most valuable data protection features in Veeam are encryption and error handling."
"The most valuable features of Veeam ONE are the backup reports, such as the status of the storage."
"What I like most about this solution are the simplicity and the price-performance ratio."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to restore the VMs into a test environment."
"The solution offers the normal benefits of a virtual machine versus a physical, actual machine. It doesn't take up space, for example."
"Very user-friendly and easily recoverable."
"Veeam's file monitoring capabilities are strong and consistent."
"It helps with process restoration. With Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
 

Cons

"The speed could be better."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."
"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"Backup management features are crucial for ensuring the reliability and automation of backup processes."
"The pricing is very high."
"The product is expensive."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"If they could add more support for all of the modern hypervisors, that would make Veeam much better and more flexible to work with. For example, there is no solution for VM to VM replication when it comes to Oracle OEM servers."
"The price can be better."
"The solution needs more detailed reporting."
"When you have some small issues, you should be able to go through it by yourself and solve the issue instead of opening the ticket and waiting for the engineers to troubleshoot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"The pricing is good."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"It's the market price. It isn't expensive, nor is it cheap."
"Veeam Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads."
"I understand from management that the DR component is too expensive."
"Although our license includes support, we have only really used the support when we were using Veeam for Active Directory. The rest of the time, we find Veeam easy enough to use without paying extra support fees."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is a cost-effective solution"
"I would suggest to others that they buy the full license when purchasing this solution."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication could be reduced. The customers are looking at other products because the price is higher than some of the competition."
"The licensing is the worst part of Veeam Backup Replication because for the more complex situations and it's quite difficult and complex. In particular, when mixing different requirements the licensing model is complex. For example, mixing a virtual machine backup and a file server backup in the same installation can be somewhat difficult and is expensive."
