We use Druva inSync as our primary Office 365 email and OneDrive backup solution. All users in our Office 365 tenant have their email and OneDrive protected with Druva inSync. We're able to quickly backup, monitor, and restore data as needed. We simply worry about what data to backup and not about the infrastructure to perform the backup.
- inSync was easy to deploy. I spend little time managing the software.
- I never need to worry about buying additional backup hardware. Druva inSync scales with my needs.
- The user sees no impact during backups
- Some of the errors you'll get on failed jobs can be ambiguous
We protect our Office 365 environment with Druva inSync. We have email and one drive added to backups, then Druva will sync that data between our AD environment. That way you'll be able to see an individuals users cloud applications under a single user profile. The backups run seamless. I rarely have to do anything in the admin console outside of check job status.

Our organization was seeking a DLP solution for remote staff and laptop users globally. We needed a scalable solution that could be centrally managed. We required a solution with real-time monitoring and a HIPAA compliance enforcement.
- Real-time monitoring: user data usage, activities, and device locator.
- Compliance enforcement: compliance templates available for regulated industries.
- DLP settings: device trace, auto-delete, and file encryption.
- More intuitive dashboards
- Ability to add licenses from the dashboard
We do not use this solution for cloud apps. We only use it for our workforce laptops.

We use Druva inSync for the gap between office 365 litigation hold and actually being able to restore user data like their contacts which were impossible to restore if there was a change on an item instead of actually getting removed. Also, much easier to restore from OneDrive, that Office 365 portal with what Microsoft provides the users. It is very easy to set up, easy to manage, and even easier and much more efficient to restore user's data.
- Restoring any data, such as mail items is very efficient and helpful compared to other products.
- The Druva dashboard is very user-friendly and it also makes managing and monitoring the processes a lot faster.
- Being cloud-based, you can access the dashboard from anywhere and anytime with no need to worry about hardware and maintenance.
- Reporting needs some improvement in my mind.
We use Druva for our Office 365, including Exchange Online, Sharepoint Online, One Drive and Microsoft Teams which stores data on SharePoint sites. Druva very effectively has helped us with backup solutions and has been very useful in restore processes and saves us so much time and headache. Druva also has a very responsive support team.
We use Druva for both internal and external file sharing. This has allowed us to enable our users to securely share files and collaborate on projects with both internal and external participants in one platform. Before Druva, we would have a mix of solutions which were more expensive and gave us less visibility and control of corporate data.
- Easy to use, the interface is intuitive and training requirements were minimal.
- Good audit trails and history of data access.
- Collaboration is simple.
- Change management - The notification or major changes is often slow or hard to find.
- The license model for external collaborators isn't great and I think this could be simplified.
- More enhancements to the audit trail and access notifications would be great.
We do not use it to protect any cloud endpoints.

We use inSync across our organization for endpoint user data backup, as well as a legal hold platform.
- Backup and Restore - Profiles are extremely configurable which gives the ability to back up the exact data we need to worry about.
- Lightweight endpoint agent. CPU and Bandwidth throttling options are very useful.
- Intuitive Management console, The RBAC features, and AD integration make it easy to empower our remote IT Staff and tier 1 support to perform necessary user support requests.
- Reporting functionality seems to be a bit limited, and nice feature I'd like to see added would be the ability to create custom reports.
- A nice feature in our environment would be SCCM integration, we're user device affinity could be leveraged to provision user to devise associations.
We currently only leverage inSync across endpoints.

It is used as a company-wide backup solution. We have had a big need for a backup solution for our end users that would be easy to use and configure on their end while being easy to administer and support from our end. Druva has filled the space very well as it has proven to be easy to use, reliable and relatively simple to administer.
- Quick set-up.
- Easy restoration of backed up information.
- Information easy to view on the admin dashboard.
- Re-provisioning of license procedure is clunky.
- Data maintenance for former employees is cumbersome.
inSync was easy to deploy. I spend little time managing the software. I was able to protect and restore our data without the need for formal training on the software. Everything was simple to use out of the box. Druva inSync enables eDiscovery for data stored on endpoint devices.
- Provides complete governance solution for the physical devices includes mobile devices.
- App-aware deduplication reduces the storage and bandwidth utilization.
- So far nothing to dislike has arisen, the software works as expected and does a good job.
September 20, 2019
We require use of Druva inSync for all users within Anglepoint. This ensures backup of everything. Another great feature is the remote wipe capability that we use in conjunction with other tools to secure all data during attrition.
- Secure backup
- Remote restore
- Remote wipe of laptops.
- Tracking of location of use.
- Explanation of backup size limitation versus unlimited.
We backup all local machines and data.
We are using Druva inSync across the whole organization. Druva allows for endpoint backup and restore and provides both an avenue for disaster recovery as well as workstation migration.
- Backup and restore
- Laptop migration
- Access to files from mobile device
- None
We are not currently protecting any cloud apps.

We use Druva inSync across our entire organization, most of which are remote sales staff. We are using it to backup the files for individuals from their desktop or laptop computers. Druva inSync is able to backup any time the device is connected to the internet. For corporate office devices, it's simple. Our remote staff is where it makes the biggest difference because it can stop and start whenever there's a connection. Where we have found Druva inSync most helpful is for our remote sales staff. When devices break, we are able to use Druva inSync to restore documents to rebuilt or replacement devices.
- Backup of documents
- Restore documents to replacement or rebuilt devices
- Consistently restore all files to a replacement device. We are able to restore folders individually, but restoring all files to their original locations does not work every time
Currently, we are only using Druva within the Windows filespace.

We use Druva inSync across the organization to provide backup and Data Loss Prevention for our PCs. We were looking for an easy-to-use solution that would be simple to implement but contain the necessary features to support our distributed workforce. Druva inSync provides robust functionality that we can manage centrally from a website, so our IT organization can make sure we maintain compliance and meet our information security requirements.
- Runs seamlessly in the background.
- Central administration and management so IT can make sure we are constantly in compliance.
- Allows IT to track and remote wipe a PC in case it is lost or stolen.
- We had some initial challenges with testing remote wipe of a PC about a year ago, but I believe we have since resolved the issue.
We currently only use inSync to protect our PCs, but are looking to expand to our Office 365, Salesforce and other apps.

Druva is our backup solution and our users also use it for cloud storage
- Backups
- Restore
- user cloud storage
- cloud file sharing
- actually I like it the way it is
- it's kinda expensive
- business \ team - folder sharing could be improved.
Currently we are not using Druva as a backup or cloud storage for any of the products shown above or even similar products.

I deployed Insync On-Premise years ago to handle all our end user laptop backups. I needed something on-premise and this fit the bill. The reason why I can't recommend Insync is the push to make On-Premise customers to Cloud customers. This isn't going to work and is short-sighted on management's part.
- Dashboard gives me a quick and thorough look across all backup operations.
- Tracking helps me keep track of folks and how to help them in case needed
- Compression is effective enough to keep all previous employee backups without spending a ton on storage
- Keep a focus on On-Premise
- Bring back Share for On-Premise
- Stop trying to bully people into making decisions you want them to make. Just offer great products and let the consumer decide.
I wouldn't use Druva to protect any cloud apps, I wouldn't want my data jumping to too many places. It defies common sense and basic security principals. Druva should only be used to protect end points such as laptops, desktops and servers. That's it find backup solutions embedded into your cloud app before searching outside for a backup solution. It's like common sense has been replaced by the word cloud.
It is currently deployed across the entire organization. There are a significant traveling staff world wide and this allows us to remotely support users no matter where they are.
- The Backup is reliable and can be tailored to specific users needs through profiles.
- The restoration which runs in the background can be set to run onto a new device without having to continually monitor the process
- The onboarding of clients is automated, and easy to administrate end users backups
- The tech support is by far the best support technicians, who are all very knowledgeable and very prompt no matter what the problem is
- One item I would like to see is for a same product line allowing for both onsite backups to our Cacheing servers only along with the current cloud based system
We have not taken advantage of any of these other apps, I never could justify the additional cost

First off DRUVA has saved our butts on more than one occasion; due to lost/stolen laptops or hard drives.
We use DRUVA as our Enterprise Laptop Backup application which is installed on all Windows and MAC based systems and is used across the organization.
DRUVA saves us a vast amount of time when migrating users to new laptops. The process before DRUVA took upwards of 2 hours per machine and after DRUVA we're seeing system migrations fall into the 10-15 minute time frame.
The executive teams are the most impressed by the reduced downtime to migrate them to another laptop when they are experience issues or are receiving a totally new machine. We all know how hard it is to impress executives!

- Druva is the "Ron Co" of the computing world - "Set it and forget it!" It just works!
- Some of Druva's competitors tend to use more resources (processor and RAM) at all times; during backup and non-backup periods.
- The ability to reduce network bandwidth works extremely well, especially for those power users who believe that any application or service running on their machine slows down the performance they need to work effectively. Not the case with Druva. When Druva is actively backing up during an idle state. When the end-user engages the system to start working the Druva client immediate reduces the processor, RAM and network traffic it's utilizing to allow for the machine to perform as needed.
- It would be nice to be able to backup redirected folders in Windows. This is not currently an option.
We do not currently use these features.

It is used for laptop backup in all the country (Italy) for every machine, it gives business continuity to our data letting us restore the wrongly erased folder and also offers restore possibility if the HD or SSD fails. Also if the device has been stolen the data could be recovered.
- Low impact on user work while it runs
- Easy to configure and to use
- All manageable from the cloud.druva.com via dashboard
- Great and detailed log that helps you solve the possible issue
- Sometimes the connection with Druva Cloud fails and the user keeps receiving an alert (sometimes is very annoying)
We don't protect any cloud app with Druva inSync

Druva inSync was first used in our location when we were being upgraded to all new hardware for our corporate PC's. I believe it is used company-wide. When we first used it, it addressed getting all local files from our current PC's to the new PC's and the process of backup and restore was very smooth. We continue to use Druva inSync as a daily backup of local files.
- File backup - Druva inSync does a thorough job of backing up your local PC files and storing them to be used for restore when/if needed. This eliminates file loss in case of any failures.
- File restore - The restoration process is very valuable and works smoothly. The restore process can take a bit of time depending on how many local files you had backed up, but that is to be expected.
- In my experience, the only area for improvement is speed of restore, but that can hinge on several factors such as size of backup and location of files and transfer rate.
I have only used the local file backup with Druva inSync.

It is being used by end users for endpoint backup across our organization. It addresses the business problem of users losing critical work files if something happens to their machine, or file retention if something is deleted accidentally.
- Automated
- Versioning
- Quiet
- AD integration
- Easier to deploy to an enterprise with 0 user interation
None of the above
We are using Druva to back up our laptops as well as our Office 365 environment company-wide. We like its ease of use and management, and much of the administration is self-explanatory. We have tested both backups and restores and both have worked flawlessly. Both processes are swift and work well.
- It uses cloud storage which allows flexibility.
- It can be integrated with Office 365 for SSO.
- Unlimited storage.
- I like it the way it is, there are a lot of options to cater to our back up needs
- Configuring SSO can be difficult
- Technical support can be hard to understand at times
We use it for Office 365, Sharepoint, and Exchange online. Data can be easily lost or deleted so it is extremely essential that we have a solution in place to back up our online data. We have users who have a lot of edit access to Sharepoint resources and they acccidentally delete data all the time, but we have Druva backing the data up so it's not too much of a concern and can be restored rather quickly.
Across the entire state agency, of which my local department is a part.
- It doesn't do anything particularly well, IMHO.
- Better user interface. Online training and documentation.

Druva is used primarily for laptop backup of senior leadership so that it can be available during a crisis.
- Allows select file types to be backed up
- Allow incremental backup
- Ensures proper security
- Self heal feature where if backup doesn’t happen then it guide users
- Auto alert with risk of not getting data backed up and keep logs
Don’t use for app.

We are using the cloud model, and did a recent migration from an on-prem model; fundamentally it addresses restoration, protection from ransomware, policy compliance and continuity.
- Policy compliance
- Guaranteed backup and restoration
- Continuity
- Ease of operation
- Peace of mind
- Low on resource consumption
- Senior level reporting and dash board on mobile
- Regular audits and improvement areas
- De-dupe
Only end point backups, we are still evaluating Salesforce
We backup all desktops and laptops and some phones. It allows users to access their data on other devices and quickly recover missing files.
- Very good support
- Quick backup
- Device localisation
- I would like to see an option to "backup ALL" which will backup everything on a user's profile
Unfortunately we can't backup cloud apps but in the future I would like to backup Office 365.
We have Druva inSync hosted locally. It used for whole organization's most critical users' data backup. It has a very good de-duplication and compression ratio that helps us to manage storage. It's just great for roaming users.
- We can add as many administrative roles as our organization needs, all within our control, so we can manage explicitly what the role can see-and-do.
- Helps us to set standards and guidelines in the legal e-discovery and investigations fields.
- Giving us complete visibility into any user activity in the organization.
- Seamless identified data backup even on less bandwidth.
- It's great, nothing to improve!
It is used across the organization for client desktop backups
- Backups
- Continuous backups
- Easy deployment
- Use friendly
- Data deduplication to save time and space
We haven't used that yet
