We performed a comparison between Dell NetWorker and Quest NetVault 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."Dell EMC NetWorker is scalable."
"It's a good product that can be integrated easily with the Data domain."
"It can support many different versions, both newer and older."
"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."
"Anybody could drive the GUI."
"I like that it's stable and scalable."
"When you reach out to your maximum license availability, or you exceed your license limit, NetWorker never stops doing your backups."
"This solution is really the best in the market! After evaluating other solutions, we automatically decided to use this one."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"The user interface is good."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"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."
"The stability of the NMC could use some attention, as it tends to be a bit shaky during jobs and other operations."
"The licensing rules are difficult to navigate and understand."
"The UI is not user-friendly."
"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."
"It is a little buggy at times, which is the only thing that I dislike about this product."
"I would like to see encryption included in the next release to encrypt the data that we are backing up."
"I would like to see the user interface improved, more documentation, faster support, and it could be easier to configure."
"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"The storage capacity is very low."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
