Good File Backup Solution
We switched to Druva Phoenix a few months ago. So far it has met most of our needs. Setup was extremely easy. It only took me a few hours to backup most of our servers. The solution is very fast and reliable while still having a very reasonable cost. Their data deduplication feature not only saves us money but it allowed us to be aware of how much duplicated data we had and was able to clean it up.
I gave the product 4 stars because it currently does only file and MS-SQL backups. I would like to see a system state backup which I am told is coming. If it had that then it would cover all of our needs.
The savings are real and this stuff works!!
We started looking into cloud backups after multiple acquisitions resulted in expensive and diverse backup scheme's across our enterprise. We needed a simple, inexpensive and scalable solution. We found that with Phoenix. Many of the other solutions we evaluated required us to manage our own infrastructure, yet they called themselves “backup solutions”; which really was just servers running on EC2 or supporting cloud storage endpoints. Further, and likely most importantly, the backup strategy they used wasn't as efficient as Druva’s Phoenix. The magic sauce that makes me so confident in this is the incremental forever and deduplication technology that Druva has invented. Where other technologies required taking full backups at set intervals (weekly/monthly) Druva doesn’t, after the initial seeding, it's always an incremental. The result is, lower cloud storage costs over time, shorter backup windows, and less requirements for bandwidth.

Sauvegarde, simple et complète
Qu'aimez-vous le plus à propos de the product?
Druva InSync est extrêmement simple à utiliser et presque 100 % automatisé. Vous pouvez être aussi sélectif que vous le souhaitez et choisir uniquement quels types de fichiers ou même quels dossiers sont sauvegardés.
L'interface est agréable et épurée, et il est très simple d'effectuer une restauration. Excellent produit pour les utilisateurs quotidiens comme moi !
Que n’aimez-vous pas à propos de the product?
Les sauvegardes peuvent devenir coûteuses en fonction de leur taille, et il peut être difficile de rester en dessous de vos limitations de taille.
Quels sont les problèmes que the product résout, et en quoi cela vous est-il bénéfique?
Nous utilisons ces produits pour sauvegarder les ordinateurs portables de nos utilisateurs professionnels lorsqu'ils voyagent et sont sur la route. Nous avons rencontré de nombreuses situations où nous devions restaurer des informations utilisateur à distance, et cela fonctionne !
The Past 6 Months with Druva Insync
What do you like best about the product?
Its very easy to configure, the learning curve for anyone new to the software is minimal.
The backups are very fast and you never notice a decrease in machine performance when they are running.
The maintenance of the software is very minimal.
The inSync share is a very easy way for users to share data with others, the password requirement is a very nice feature too.
When a user gets a new machine you simply backup the old, restore to the new and it takes less than 10 mins for most users, this is a phenomenal time saver.
Overall we are very impressed with Druva, even the reps are friendly and helpful. It has helped on more than one occasion to avoid data loss or a slow recovery.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only feature that we dislike currently is that the on-premise version of inSync gets updated much later than the cloud based version.
Having to wait so long for the new features can be frustrating but it is a very minimal complaint in the grand scheme of things
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main benefit for us is the time to setup new machines, Under 10 mins from the time we receive the old machine until the data is restored and fully working.
We also have many traveling users so making sure we always have a backup of their data for when machines get broken saves so many problems down the line.
We have found when data corrupts on a hard drive it is not an issue either, you simple........restore to a new HDD/SSD its that simple and easy.
