"The solution is very stable."
"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."
"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."
"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."
"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."
"The Granular Restore of SQL feature has been a lifesaver more times than I can count. One of the main reasons for looking at Carbonite was their support for platforms like AIX and AS/400 Series."
"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."
"There are no problems in terms of stability."
"The GUI is user-friendly."
"The possibility of recovering up-to-the-moment data is very useful."
"It is the best umbrella, serving the best applications."
"NetWorker's most valuable feature is recovery, including the policy-based backups that can be configured."
"Dell EMC NetWorker integrates well with our domain and the performance is quite good on-premise. We receive approximately 1 terabyte within one hour."
"If it's set up the right way, it's a stable product."
"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."
"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."
"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."
"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet. Its public cloud support can be improved. I would love to see the public cloud support for object storage, and it would be great, but what I always hear from the folks at Carbonite is that in a lot of cases, it directly competes with their cloud offering. So, I don't know when or where that will go or if that will go anywhere, but we are hopeful to see something. The dashboard is a little outdated. If they gave it a facelift and put some better design around their dashboard, that would be tremendous. I generally care less about the visual aesthetics of an application as long as it does what it needed to do, which is true in the case of this solution. We also have the Microsoft 365 platform. Because they're two separate platforms, I have to log in to my Microsoft platform to manage it, and I have to log into my Carbonite server backup platform to manage it. Having these two coexist together in one management console is really what we're looking for, but we went for it knowing this. We also knew that there would be some integration coming down the road. So, we're again hoping to see some of that coming in 2021."
"The only thing that I would like to see improved is related to marketing. Currently, it is very difficult to find the right paper and stuff for me. Their marketing department should provide better information because currently, it is very difficult to find information on the internet. It was bought over by OpenText, and you won't be able to find a lot of information about this solution on their site. They should also provide training facilities for commercial purposes. Some of my colleagues recently went for pilot training, and they were technical. If I want to get trained, the training has to be more commercial. Currently, there is no such training for users like me."
"The initial setup is complex."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see better support for the container systems, and we would like to see more support for image backups instead of pure file backups."
"The team does not have enough knowledge to support you."
"Reporting templates could be easier to understand and more comprehensive."
"There could be a possibility of constructing full backups from incremental data intelligently."
"The web console could be a lot better."
"NetWorker sometimes has issues with the backup not starting and with connecting to the Oracle servers."
