We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Dell NetWorker 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 most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"It's simple to set up."
"It is very stable."
"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."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"I like the tool's speed."
"Storage-wise, EMC is user-friendly."
"The interface is user-friendly and can be used by the end-users."
"Anybody could drive the GUI."
"Good scalability and virtual environment protection."
"Dell NetWorker's valuable feature is its ability to configure the network for immutability, specifically for backups."
"The solution is very user-friendly. After setting up five machines for our customers we teach them how to set up the agent and start doing their backups. It is very easy for them once they see how to do it, they like to do it on their own."
"The solution is very stable, especially if you are using a RAC environment."
"I like that it's stable and scalable."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"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."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."
"The product should provide integration with AWS."
"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."
"Lacks a restore feature."
"Regarding improvements for NetWorker, I believe implementing cross-platform restore functionality is essential. This feature would allow for compatibility with various backup software solutions, similar to Veeam."
"We are looking forward to better stability in future versions."
"The configuration is too complex."
"In the next release, I would like to see better pricing and more integration with the other products in Dell EMC."
"The UI is not user-friendly."
