Druva is a 2nd layer of support to OneDrive synchronization for user data.
Druva allows us to backup OneDrive, Email and SharePoint. our most common restores are for email. The in place restore being the most useful, but for the restores to a new folder have been great for discovery\compliance issues.

SharePoint, Exchange.
It has been used to back up all my VIP users' information. We use it in the whole organization. It solves the sensitive endpoint backup automation.
- Backup automation
- AD Sync
- Massive deployment
- A massive deployment MSI package with some kind of customization (logo, description, etc.)
- A report maker or an existing report customization tool
We don't have any cloud app integration with Druva. If it is available, I will explore it.

We use inSync on our corporate attorney laptops. We eliminated roaming profiles with our attorneys since we started seeing more and more corrupted profiles due to them being on the go in and out of the office.
We rely on inSync for backing up local files. This has virtually eliminated corrupted attorney profiles and taken the headache of rebuilding profiles.
- inSync has eliminated corrupted user profiles.
- The ease of restoring a missing file.
- Spending less time to restore a missing or corrupted file.
- Self-Empowerment!
- The ease of transferring data to a new device.
- A broader dashboard on the home page.
We do not protect any cloud apps with inSync at this time.

We have used Druva inSync for more than 8 years. Earlier it was configured in-house server then we moved to cloud platform. Initially, inSync was used for one location, then we implemented across the whole organization in all locations because of instant support from Druva.
It resolves our routine backup and restoration issues when system crashes and retrieves the old data from cloud backup. Low bandwidth usage and low system memory usage while running backup in client side is an advantage for user performance part.
- Low system disk and memory used while running backup.
- Quick support.
- Restoration process is very simple.
- Updates and no break-down issues.
- GUI for file restoration.
- Restoring files in office dedicated local server (with restriction).
Currently we are using inSync for data only which is stored in individual personal laptop/desktop. Probably we may go with GSuite also.

It's been used across the organization for critical users laptop backup. End users' data which is not on file shares of the organization including flat files & most importantly outlook PST are being backed up.
Data backup solutions are like insurance, we pay the premium for years & when there is accident or mishap then we get the claim. Our experience with Druva is excellent, whenever data was required for any user we got the same.

- Hastle-free backup management via agent installed on the user's machine.
- Cloud backup solution so backup happens every time, in office or outside office.
- PST backup available which is not there in many solutions.
- Excellent support from DRUVA, I never had an instance where call delayed from Druva support by 1 hour.
- Fine tuning of the DRUVA agent as user face performance issues during first full backup.
- Data restoration for users left is a bit tough procedure, needs to be easy.
- Cost should be reduced.
We are not using Druva for any cloud app backup.
Druva inSync is used primarily to backup laptop computers in all departments. It protects laptop data against crashes, theft, and loss.
- Ease of deployment
- Ease of use for IT and end users
- Ease of data recovery
- Low Cost
- The only area of concern has been the storage quota per user. While pooled we cannot fully back up everyone 500gb laptop drive without going over our quota.
We have not protected any apps yet but Office 365 something we are considering protecting soon.
We use Druva inSync across the whole organization. We have several locations and we needed a backup backup solution for all our endpoints.
- Easy to use for both end user and administrator
- The central console is clear. You can see the backup status of each user and/or device, track the location of the device, and update the endpoint agent version.
- Mobile access to your backups
- Backups may not work well over a reduced bandwidth internet connection.
- You cannot add single users to your license.
- It would be nice to have a mobile app for the administrator.
We protect Exchange and it works well. We have done some testing, but we have not had to restore productive data. We are currently working on the implementation of Salesforce, Box, and Office 365 data protection features.

Druva inSync is being used across the whole organization. We use the tool to ensure everyone's laptops have their data backed up to the cloud. This will ensure that if there is an issue we can easily restore documents as needed. It allows everyone to have peace of mind and allows administrators to track various governance details to keep us ISO 27001 compliant.
- Governance.
- Regularly done backups; every 8 hours is how we have it setup, but you can easily change this.
- Restoration of files if there is an issue with a laptop.
- New Versions don't show Release Notes; actually have to Google this information.
- There are quite a few outages.
- Sometimes support can be slow.
We do not actively use Druva to integrate with products like this. It is strictly used for backups, restores, and keeping ISO compliance.

We have started using Druva to back up our Microsoft 365 environment (Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams) and to ensure the data is sent to another public cloud for storage in case of any issues with Azure we can still access backups of our data. We didn't want anything too complicated and within 30 mins with one of the Druva engineers we had a fully working solution. We now have email alerts and reports configured so we can keep an eye on how things are working and in case of any issues the guys from support have been able resolve or advise us very quickly.
- Quick start.
- Easy to use.
- Good interface.
- SSO was complicated to set up.
inSync with Microsoft 365 suite - works well.

We use Druva inSync across our entire organization. Every laptop (PC and Mac) is required to have installed and running, an inSync client. Not only does this facilitate recovery in the case of device failure and replacement, we use it to offboard employees and to preserve their working state. Occasionally, users will restore files they have deleted from the backups retained by inSync.
- Fire and forget. Once a user signs into the inSync agent, they don't have to worry about backups.
- Single sign-in means users don't have yet another password to forget.
- Druva inSync has a low impact on laptop resources.
- Cost. It is kind of expensive.
- Monitoring problem machines: user hasn't activated; backups haven't occurred
- Better way of "offboarding" users
- Better way of archiving a user's backups
- A faster way of downloading an archived user's backup

We use Druva inSync for securing data and settings of workstations. We also use Druva inSync to protect phones. As you know, laptops and phones are easily damaged or stolen. The most important thing is to easily recover data from a central console, without the need to log into your workstation. The subscription cost for one device could be lower.
- Security (encryption)
- Easy to manage
- Lightweight agents
- Central console in cloud
- High cost of a single user
- Inflexible price list (order for a minimum of 1 year)
- The minimum number of licenses ordered is 25.
- Only two plans unlimited or 50GB
We use Office 365 e-mail security. It works great. Simple configuration and confidence that in the event of malicious deletion of e-mails by employees, everything will be easily restored.

I have clients using Druva inSync for backups of their computers, laptops, and mobile devices. It allows backups at least every 30 minutes and allows for very easy recovery by the end-user.
- Druva inSync is a very fast and small footprint backup software.
- Druva inSync enterprise deduplication is efficient and minimizes spaced used across all backed up data.
- Druva inSync allows for encrypted data, geolocation of devices, and easy deployment.
- Druva - Come back with your on-premise solution!
I do not use Druva inSync for backing up cloud apps.
- no training
Yes - Druva support makes upgrades very easy.
We use Druva inSync as a PC and mobile device backup solution across our organization. The tool has proven to be an extremely reliable tool for restoring user data in the case of device failure or loss and also for remote access to PC files via a mobile device as needed.
- PC backup. In today's world of failed drives, crypto-ransom, and theft a good backup is an absolute must.
- Ease of data restore - The user can easily retrieve previous backups of data, add additional folders or drives to the backup, and even pull data from a PC backup down to their mobile device for review remotely.
- Data compression/dedupe and file filtering - The compression/dedupe/filtering processing that Druva inSync does is amazing. It not only saves on the footprint that the backups take but the technology also minimizes the amount of data transmitted on every backup. This results in shorter running backups and minimal resource drain during those backups.
- I honestly can't think of any points of improvement at this time.
We use Druva inSync to protect our Office 365 Exchange accounts and Sharepoint sites. While we have not had to use the restore services for these applications I do rest easier at night knowing they are protected with the same technology as our PCs have been all these years.

The implementation was a breeze, the installation of the inSync backup was also easy to use and set up. The price is one of the best offers that I have found. The cloud portion for Office 365 is one of the best, that we don't have to host
anything and it all can be easily managed just by logging in. Always up to date and fast. The support and implementation team have
been great. A couple days after I implemented it sure enough one of my employees had gotten hit with Ransomware and their SharePoint and One Drive were corrupted. With Druva backing up our Office 365 accounts it was a breeze to restore and a lifesaver due to the fact that the employee in question was in HR.

- Easy to set up.
- End user friendly.
- Cost effective.
- Easy and simple restores.
- So far the solution is great.
- Mass deployment for remote workers for desktop backups is a little tricky.
- Interface of the software is great.
We as a company have implemented the solution to back up Office 365 as a whole that includes, Teams, Share Point, OneDrive, and Exchange. We are also using the endpoints backup which is one of the best out there, it backs up the endpoints and employees do not even know it is running. Other solutions bogged down the system resources but with Druva you won't even notice that the backup is running while using your workstation.
We currently use inSync to backup all user devices in our organization. With the entire organization still on a work from home order due to COVID-19, inSync has been a key asset in protecting user data. When a user experiences a hardware failure, replacing the laptop is a breeze. Simply send the replacement laptop, have the user sign into the inSync client, remotely kick-off a restore using the admin console, and watch their data appear - like magic! This has saved our team countless times already.
- Simple LDAP configuration for importing users and using a seamless SSO process.
- Remote restores via the admin console are a life saver!
- Activity monitor gives you a holistic view into the backups and restores in progress.
- Better tracking in the activity monitor.
- A little less expensive to add the backup of cloud services.
- Restore as another user when logged-in as an admin (not just download their content).
We only trialed the backup of GSuite apps. However, we found the price of keeping the extra set of an already cloud-based platform wasn't worth the investment at the team. We will re-evaluate this in the coming year.

We are currently using Druva inSync as our primary cloud backup. It protects both emails and documents/media. It has saved us several times, during recoveries.
- We had a MacBook Air that was dropped in a puddle and was basically totaled. Once the user was given a new laptop, Druva inSync was able to completely restore the desktop.
- Druva inSync was used as temporary storage for iOS updating.
- Email Inbox was corrupted, but since the user was backed up on Druva inSync. We were able to recover everything that was lost.
- The ability to customize notifications
- More admin control--be able to remotely force backups
- Secondary on-site storage and hardware
We use Druva inSync across the whole organization and actually, it secures and maintains our data and it really satisfies us (the IT Department) in its configuration & administration, and the end-users, as it doesn't consume the computer resources and it's really easy to use. It's really an amazing backup solution.
- Easy to use.
- Doesn't consumes the computer resources.
- Amazing admin dashboard.
- It's a little bit expensive.
- The admins cannot change the passwords (just can send an e-mail to the user to do it).
Druva inSync is an amazing backup tool for the cloud apps.

My company utilizes all laptops for both in-office and out-of-office workers. We needed a solution that provided a mechanism to back up all important files and folders in the event that a laptop should fail. The solution we found was Druva inSync, as it provides a mechanism to backup to Druva's cloud, deduplicates the data, and allows multiple backups per day to ensure that my team can quickly recover files - from full restores to the occasional accidental deletion of a file/folder from their machines. This is used company-wide for over 70 users.
- Cloud storage - no on-prem storage necessary.
- Unlimited backups - can backup as frequently as 15 minutes to daily backups.
- Intuitive administrative console allows for mandatory folders to be backed up and blacklist certain extensions from the backup (such as .ISOs).
- Secure, fast, and very easy to roll out.
- Better controls of the DLP component (rules, procedures, schedules).
- Context-menus so people can select a file on their computer and easily roll back to previous versions.
We do not currently utilize the cloud-app protection, only because we currently have other protections in place (Barracuda for OneDrive/Office365) that we are comfortable with. Should those other services raise pricing, we would strongly consider having Druva take their place in our protection strategy. Should Druva bring more tools and features to the table than other solutions (such as Barracuda) we of course would most likely switch to Druva for all of our protection.
Druva is utilized by most laptop users that have additional storage needs outside of OneDrive capabilities. Typically Druva will perform a backup of all files across your laptop, meeting a specific template. This includes files like Outlook Archives and personal folders.
By utilizing Druva we ensure contingency in case of equipment loss or damage.
By utilizing Druva we ensure contingency in case of equipment loss or damage.
- Speed.
- Backup templates.
- Security.
- End user portal.
- End user GUI could be a bit easier to use.
- Validation to end user that all files are indeed backing up.
- Cost.
It allows for backup of our regular office files, photos, but also larger files like Outlook folders.
Druva is a backup tool used to collect user created content for users that are subject to Legal Hold within the organization. We also preserve former employees' laptop backups that are subject to Legal Hold as well. Druva has many other internal capabilities like compliance and governance that are helpful but we just do not utilize at this time.
- Backs up up any content that is required, very customizable.
- Can be deployed silently with minimal user awareness.
- Package up-gradable easily after deployment.
- They need better mass deployment capabilities for larger organizations outside of SCCM.
- Needs to be a super-user account that has admin rights.
- Better automation outside of APIs.
Druva has the capabilities to back up from multiple OS's and applications. In our organization, we only use Druva to back up Windows laptops, Mac OS, and android phones. Hopefully in the future we can back up with Office 365 and SharePoint.

Druva has been in use in our org to support our frequent traveler base and laptop users who deemed they needed local client backup, along with our litigation hold needs for the company.
- Reliable.
- Lightweight.
- Continued support and option for on-prem implementation.
Most of our focus is around PST file protection as we're a bit behind in our O365 adventure, so Exchange is one of our primary focus areas.
We use Druva inSync as the endpoint backup solution for every active user in our company. Druva inSync is simple to use and offers reasonably good performance across the USA.
- Once the first normal backup completes, the incremental backup usually completes very quickly.
- Centralized management that comes with flexible admin rights assignment. This helps me delegate data backup management to my 8 offices in the USA.
- Good data legal hold features
- Druva inSync can automate new user creation to have a legal hold to save the customer's manual configuration time.
- Druva inSync could improve its English grammar: For example, new inSync Client upgrade message on the inSync console mentioned a new version 6.7.1 will be "Released on : 19-Sep-2020" on Sep 18 2020.
We decided to only use inSync to backup our users' endpoint devices. Overall it has been enough for us.
September 25, 2020
Our company has very distributed assets at over a 100 locations. As we are governed by HIPAA, our devices that contain ePHI data must be backed up. Only devices at locations with servers get backed up, which requires us to utilize a remote solution for all others. This is where Druva came in - it allows us to backup our remote devices without the need for any on-prem hardware. Druva allows us to easily deploy their agent from a msi package, offers AD integration, easy-to-use policy management, and a clean and intuitive dashboard.
- Cloud-based solution - No on-prem hardware required.
- Easy to deploy agent.
- Intuitive dashboard.
- DLP, Legal Hold and Compliance governance.
- Ability to backup to local storage.
- Create custom reports.
We are currently not utilizing any unified data protection from cloud apps.
September 25, 2020
All of our devices use Druva for backup and disaster recovery.
- Backup.
- Restore data.
- Data loss prevention.
- Reporting and dashboards.
- Improve speed of file download.
- Improve speed of full backup restoration.
We currently use Druva to also back up our instance of Salesforce. Having said that, I am not the administrator of Salesforce and can't really speak to it. We don't use it for other apps at this time. We may consider it in the future, but as a non profit company, we try to keep our costs as low as possible, without making sacrifices.
September 21, 2020
We have had great success in setting up Druva inSync to use for backup of our Office 365 instances. I was happy this year when Microsoft Teams started to back up pretty quickly after it became very popular and needed in the organization. We have the whole stack of Office 365 using the product so we are covered if something happens to our environment.
- Simple setup
- Fast
- Easy restores
- Was hard to understand all the different products that are offered
- Good part is you don't need to buy it all.
- Maybe offer account checkups half-way into the year
We looked at a few other offerings but really only need the Office 365 setup to start before we switch other items over to some of their other services. Salesforce seemed to take a long time, and we currently had another tool that we were very happy with. Did not test any of their DLP items for review since that does not happen all that often.
