Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."I started off as a storage engineer and ended up owning Dell EMC Data Domain and Dell EMC NetWorker. I've not used any other backup solutions at this scale. Dell EMC NetWorker does what I need it to do, it's efficient."
"The response time of the tech support is swift. The support is fantastic."
"Simple, stable and straightforward."
"NetWorker's most valuable feature is recovery, including the policy-based backups that can be configured."
"Technical support is good."
"The solution is very stable, especially if you are using a RAC environment."
"When you reach out to your maximum license availability, or you exceed your license limit, NetWorker never stops doing your backups."
"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."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"The software also isn't user-friendly like Convault or Rubrik. The solution errors and management aren't so good in comparison."
"There could be a possibility of constructing full backups from incremental data intelligently."
"The management of Dell Networker is quite cumbersome."
"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."
"While upgrading to a new version, we encounter challenges related to specific algorithms or code regulations."
"Reporting templates could be easier to understand and more comprehensive."
"The product should provide integration with AWS."
"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."
"The product's price could be better."
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."
"The appliance doesn't have the global deduplication, it has StoreOnce deduplication. It does not deduplicate across the appliance, it will deduplicate in one particular store. With the global deduplication, I could store more data."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"The latency is a bit high."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
