Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Technical support is good."
"The support for legacy products is very good."
"The possibility of recovering up-to-the-moment data is very useful."
"The updated graphical interface is better than it used to be."
"This solution is very stable."
"It has the ability to support all kinds of backups. It can be used to back up databases, operating systems, virtual machines, Lotus Notes, and Exchange. It can also do remote image backups for remote sites. It integrates and works with Data Domain. It is an enterprise-class product that can be used for anything and everything across multiple sites and locations. It is also very scalable."
"Dell NetWorker's user interface is quite simple and very interactive."
"When you reach out to your maximum license availability, or you exceed your license limit, NetWorker never stops doing your backups."
"The user interface is good."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"The interface could have a different appearance."
"The UI is not user-friendly."
"We are looking forward to better stability in future versions."
"Since the product is not on the front banner of Dell, the support may not be the best."
"The UI needs some enhancement to be more user-friendly."
"I haven't had a good experience with technical support. It takes them a very long time to resolve issues."
"The web console could be a lot better."
"he API side of the solution has certain shortcomings."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"The storage capacity is very low."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
