"It is scalable software. All you need to increase is its RAM and CPU. It's pretty easy."
"The GUI is user-friendly."
"The solution is very stable, especially if you are using a RAC environment."
"The solution offers compatibility with many types of database systems. It is one of the largest backup solutions. Additionally, it gives important information about data domain systems with deduplication."
"I started off as a storage engineer and ended up owning Dell EMC Data Domain and Dell EMC NetWorker. I've not used any other backup solutions at this scale. Dell EMC NetWorker does what I need it to do, it's efficient."
"The possibility of recovering up-to-the-moment data is very useful."
"Dell EMC NetWorker is scalable."
"The product could be improved if they wrote more PowerShell scripts for controlling Veeam."
"With Replication, Veeam allows us to have a duplicated VM on standby."
"The features I find most valuable are probably the VMware snapshot backups and the Veeam replication. Their replication is very good. It can easily be used for disaster recovery in a number of situations."
"The solution works well in two different environments, whether it is on-premises, cloud, or a combination."
"The fast backup and restore feature is the most valuable."
"I know it's not exactly a feature, but I accept it works and it's easy to use. With the Veeam Backup & Replication, we have no problems in managing restore. Obviously, the most important thing about backup software. I used to say that every backup software can make backups, but only good ones can make a restore."
"The backup and replication features are most valuable."
"Storage Snapshot is a good feature and very safe."
"When you're working with VMware, you need to use vProxy machines. You have to install the vProxy for every host in the VMware environment."
"Dell NetWorker could improve the GUI to include rack recovery."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"The user interface of this solution could be improved. It is not user friendly and is difficult to understand for new users. New users struggle to understand the logic."
"The process of upgrading versions should be improved because as it is now, you have to completely uninstall the old version first, and then install the new version."
"Reporting templates could be easier to understand and more comprehensive."
"I would like to see the user interface improved, more documentation, faster support, and it could be easier to configure."
"In the next release, I would like to see better pricing and more integration with the other products in Dell EMC."
"There's a lot of room for improvement surrounding the backup process."
"We try to compare Veeam with other solutions because we are the operations. Then we can give the answers for improvement which is the specific additional system features that other solutions provide."
"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."
"The initial setup was not straightforward at all."
"The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."
"The ability to do more backups should be addressed."
"It's hard to answer because managing cloud storage in our version could be better, but now that they have improved it in the recent version, I cannot say it's a better point because I know it should be already fixed."
"The endpoint protection console is not centralized."
