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."This product is extremely user-friendly and it is capable of performing large-scale archive/backup (five+ years worth). It is easy to store, maintain, and check backups."
"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."
"It is easy to configure."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"It's simple to set up."
"There are many backup options available in this solution. For example, you are able to do backups of servers, email, OST files, and users. This is a complete backup solution which is very good."
"The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."
"Good scalability and virtual environment protection."

"The backup software has been much faster since we've deployed the solution."
"When it was required that data had to be restored for our customer, it was accomplished successfully and this has kept our end users satisfied."
"Anybody could drive the GUI."
"Dell's technical support are quite helpful with straightforward issues."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"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."
"NetWorker sometimes has issues with the backup not starting and with connecting to the Oracle servers."
"Reporting and support for this product need to be improved. There are multiple bugs that need to be fixed."
"We are looking forward to better stability in future versions."
"The UI is not user-friendly."
