Alternatives Considered

VMware Mirage and Veeam Backup & Replication

Druva inSync is much easier to use and navigate. Also much faster.

Implementation Rating

There were some issues setting up a CloudCache, it was never able to be scripted into the install, we ended up scrapping the CloudCache and went straight Cloud.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited in large and small scale operations that use physical desktops. It is however a bit clunky with AD users, it requires the connector to be pointed at a folder where all User Objects reside. It cannot use a group, or dig into sub OUs. We have a split between VDI and physical desktops.
