We performed a comparison between Barracuda Intronis Backup and Dell NetWorker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Whenever you have a crash or your service is not working, you can just live-boot the machine and have your service up and running."
"The main feature we like about Barracuda is that we can map devices directly to the cloud. It operates as a security device to run a backup of the cloud in case one of our physical machines goes down."
"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."
"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."
"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."
"The cloud side of it is nice. Everything happens behind the scenes without you realizing it, which is nice. It doesn't interrupt usage. There is also the freedom and ease of use of the cloud portal, which you can use to manage your backup. One of the strong points of Barracuda is that you can go from zero to having your first backup running within 10 minutes. If you have access to admin accounts and everything else, it can happen in 10 minutes. The ability to go in and just restore a particular file without having to do a full restore is also very useful. You can just go in and pick the files that you need to restore, and the same is with email. You can just go in, find an email, and restore that email without having to do a full backup of all the data or a full restore of the data. I feel very safe because it is not just about the backup; it is about the protection of the data from outside threats. They have a lot of areas of ATP, that is, advanced threat protection. You don't see that much on the backup side. You see it more on the email side. In the email protection, you know it is there at the back. It moves the quarantine emails that come through into a sandbox area, and then you can choose in the sandbox. You can open up an email in the sandbox to make sure that if there is a virus, it can't harm you. You can also plan how often your backups run, such as every six hours or four hours. It is the same with email. They also have a great PhishLine package, which is phishing attack training. You can have the strongest and the best backup and security that you can, but the end user is always the weakest link. They send almost like testing emails to end users to help them identify and understand phishing emails and prevent user or phishing attacks. It is a very good package."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"The best feature is the DR replication for us."
"It can support many different versions, both newer and older."
"Simple, stable and straightforward."
"NetWorker is fast and reliable."
"The GUI is user-friendly."
"If it's set up the right way, it's a stable product."
"Storage-wise, EMC is user-friendly."
"The backup software has been much faster since we've deployed the solution."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."
"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."
"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."
"When we manage the box physically, we don't have as much control as we do when we manage from the cloud. The best management is from the cloud."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"The security features need backup and encryption. It would be nice if they added this feature. I would also like to be able to decrypt when restoring the security features. Hackers can sense these vulnerabilities today, and we need to have our enterprise prepared."
"In the next release, I would like to see better pricing and more integration with the other products in Dell EMC."
"Support is definitely an area of concern because of the time it takes to resolve our issues."
"he API side of the solution has certain shortcomings."
"They need to be compatible with the cloud because EMC NetWorker cannot compete with other products at the moment. EMC focuses only on their own cloud and do not take into consideration other cloud vendors."
"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."
"The web console could be a lot better."
"The price could be cheaper."
