We performed a comparison between Dell NetWorker and Veeam Backup & Replication 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 NetWorker's user interface is quite simple and very interactive."
"The solution is very stable, especially if you are using a RAC environment."
"The best feature is the DR replication for us."
"Dell EMC NetWorker integrates well with our domain and the performance is quite good on-premise. We receive approximately 1 terabyte within one hour."
"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 GUI is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Dell NetWorker is its quick configuration and handling of large databases."
"The most valuable feature is NetWorker's integration with the data domain that transfers the data directly into the Dell appliance, so the data doesn't need to pass through the network. NetWorker acts like a pipe, allowing the data to flow directly from the database or the VMware environment to the data domain."
"Veeam replication gives migration tools/options for VMware."
"I like how Veeam intuitively integrates with Zerto."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The most valuable feature is the internal recovery."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a great alternative to what is out there. Some of the backups just allow an agent backup to the cloud. You can back up a thousand different ways, but this is a great way to keep a customer and a company in compliance in that they've got their data secure onsite and offsite. The data being transferred to the NAS at the customer's location and also the data being sent to the cloud is encrypted in transit and it's also encrypted at rest so that nobody is going to be able to hack into that. No one will have the keys to do that."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its back up and recovery. It is a simplified backup because you can do both databases - VM and HyperV. It's a faster backup than the conventional methods because it takes up the bare metal."
"I have found one of the most valuable features to be the integrity of the backups."
"It's scalable."
"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."
"There should be more vendors incorporated into the solution."
"We are able to do direct backups, but analyzing the logs is not straightforward."
"It is a little buggy at times, which is the only thing that I dislike about this product."
"Reporting templates could be easier to understand and more comprehensive."
"The solution could be graphically better."
"The initial setup is complex."
"NetWorker sometimes has issues with the backup not starting and with connecting to the Oracle servers."
"It would be preferable if they could introduce a complete Linux version instead of relying solely on Microsoft for management. There should be a unified integration of all their products. Currently, there are various products like cloud backup and others that exist separately. It would be better if they could create a single comprehensive platform or product, as opposed to having disparate products that lack proper communication between them."
"It is efficient but can improve security-wise."
"While the Veeam Backup Replication tool can mostly back up all the data in the environment, the AIX from IBM backup capabilities nowadays could stand improvement as they are not featured on a single pane of glass."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say they could add automations for disaster migrations and for reverse replication. Overall, they need more automation."
"A backup and replication solution should be able to back up a system and do recovery very fast. Even though Veeam Backup & Replication is able to meet most of our needs, it would be better if they can make it faster for backup and restore."
"I prefer a software backup solution that allows me to easily define my origin data, including data files, folders, and virtual machines."
"think backing up from physical servers and ransomware security needs some improvements."
"The cloud backups from Veeam Backup Replication have not been good. Addiotnaally, the backups of Office 365 and the overall performance can always be improved."
