Featured Reviews

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.
Daniel Ogola - PeerSpot reviewer
The appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment.
The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It's incredibly fast."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"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."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
 

Cons

"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"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."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"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."
"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 is good."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"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."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"The program is quite expensive."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
