We performed a comparison between AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery 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 setup is pretty straightforward."
"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."
"The software’s best feature is data backup for any system."
"The solution is very stable, especially if you are using a RAC environment."
"Technical support is good."
"The solution is simple to understand."
"There are no problems in terms of stability."
"The solution offers compatibility with many types of database systems. It is one of the largest backup solutions. Additionally, it gives important information about data domain systems with deduplication."
"If it's set up the right way, it's a stable product."
"The standout feature of Dell NetWorker is its expertise in handling our VMware environment."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"There are too many reboots and the software requires constant updating."
"It is not easy to understand and deploy. It is complex in nature. Simplicity is not there. When we deploy it, the customer always needs some training from us. To make it user friendly, there should be one agent that can be used to back up every product. Dell EMC NetWorker uses so many user agents. In PowerProtect Data Manager, you can just install its VM, import that VM into vCenter, and you can start to do backups directly from vCenter. However, in Dell EMC NetWorker, you always need one server, and from that server, you need to initiate all backups. You must know the interface and the CLI. It is not user friendly. It would be a great feature if we can deploy Dell EMC NetWorker on a virtual machine, like Avamar. The additional features that are required in Dell EMC NetWorker are already available in PowerProtect Data Manager and Avamar. Therefore, there is no need to enhance Dell EMC NetWorker. It would be better if they can just rename it to PowerProtect Data Manager or Avamar."
"We have faced problems with the initial configuration of the solution."
"NetWorker's major problem is its legacy software."
"We are looking forward to better stability in future versions."
"It's complex in nature."
"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."
"The support is an area with concerns where improvements are required."
