Overall Satisfaction with Druva inSync

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!
  • Druva backups are fast and easy to use.
  • Druva support is awesome.
I do not use Druva inSync for backing up cloud apps.
I do not use inSync for uncovering non-compliant end user data.
Druva inSync centralized data governance is awesome and easy to use. I have used this to find, recover, and monitor backups.
I used a program called Copiun before Druva and moved to inSync after Copiun went out of business. Druva has been awesome to work with for the last 7 years.
Implementation on-premise was easy to deploy with Druva support.

Would you buy Druva Data Resiliency Cloud again?

No

I have used Druva inSync for 7 years. I am very upset that the software is now only cloud-based and no longer has an on-premise version. I am highly opposed to cloud-only solutions, but Druva is a fantastic program. If I have to use a cloud solution, I would recommend Druva. I am looking for an on-premise solution to replace Druva but may have to continue using them.

COVID-19 Changes

Druva has continued to support my company and clients by providing peace of mind with excellent backups on each client computer, no matter where they are in the world.
I am not concerned about ransomware with Druva, since the backups cover the critical system data on all client devices.
Druva offers eDiscovery from a central location so I can find files or contents of files across any computer, employee, over any period of time. Turnover is not an issue because I can still find the information I need with Druva.

Configuring Druva inSync

I think Druva is very configurable.
Make sure to include ALL areas you want to backup. USB devices are not backed up by default.
No - there is no facility to customize the interface
No - the product does not support adding custom code
Out of the box, the software works very well.
