We performed a comparison between Dell NetWorker and Unitrends based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The feature that offers the greatest benefits in ensuring data integrity is its backup capability."
"The most valuable feature is NetWorker's integration with the data domain that transfers the data directly into the Dell appliance, so the data doesn't need to pass through the network. NetWorker acts like a pipe, allowing the data to flow directly from the database or the VMware environment to the data domain."
"The solution is scalable."
"The backup capabilities and the automatization of the backup - along with the potential to make the back up on a virtual machine - are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"This solution is very stable."
"If it's set up the right way, it's a stable product."
"It's a good product that can be integrated easily with the Data domain."
"It is the best umbrella, serving the best applications."
"Backup/archive to multiple locations."
"They have great support."
"Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately."
"It is a quick and easy way to organize my backups and to keep track of them."
"It is fairly stable."
"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside."
"It is very easy to set up and get started. Almost too easy. We racked this device and had it up and running in less than 15 minutes."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"Could have a better recovery system."
"There should be total integration of the replication and cloud logistic back up on cloud."
"Currently, the NetWorker server only supports the Windows server bare-metal recovery, so an improvement would be built-in support for Linux and UNIX BMR."
"Since the product is not on the front banner of Dell, the support may not be the best."
"We are looking forward to better stability in future versions."
"Reporting templates could be easier to understand and more comprehensive."
"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."
"The management of Dell Networker is quite cumbersome."
"It could be a little more customizable."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
"The solution's base operating system needs to be improved."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago."
"In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."
"I would like to see more storage options for the free version."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
