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

"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's incredibly fast."
"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."
"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."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Veeam ONE is the best and the most mature solution for hypervisors and physical machines."
"What I like most about this solution are the simplicity and the price-performance ratio."
"Its portability and being able to back up between different platforms are the most valuable features."
"Veeam Data Platform copies data very efficiently."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the recuperation of the weaker machines."
"The instant VM recovery feature is the most valuable. It is a very good tool for disaster recovery. It is also easy to manage."
"The good thing about Veeam is that its initial setup and usage are straightforward."
"It is a stable product with useful snapshot and replication features."
 

Cons

"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"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."
"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."
"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."
"The speed could be better."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"The Cloud version is not ready, they need maturity and ease of deployment in terms of management."
"The product must provide better security."
"I cannot recall coming across any features that were lacking."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups or snapshots. That's a nice functionality that Veeam doesn't have."
"When you want to restore files, you first need to restore the machine, and then you have to mount it, and then restore the files."
"SureBackup is sometimes a bit difficult to use."
"The cost of the product is an area that would prevent me from using it in the future."
"Unfortunately, the software only runs on Windows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The pricing is good."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
"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."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
"Veeam's pricing is good. But compared to the past five years, it's constantly increasing."
"The license subscription could be more straightforward."
"We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Veeam each year, although it is not expensive for what we get."
"I understand from management that the DR component is too expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"It is more expensive than other solutions."
"It's the market price. It isn't expensive, nor is it cheap."
"It is reasonably very cheap. I would rate the licensing model a one out of ten, where one is very affordable and ten is extremely expensive."
