We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Technical support for this solution is very good.""The solution is very user-friendly. After setting up five machines for our customers we teach them how to set up the agent and start doing their backups. It is very easy for them once they see how to do it, they like to do it on their own.""Anybody could drive the GUI.""This solution is very stable.""Deduplication is the most valuable feature of this solution.""The software implementation takes about 30 minutes.""If it's set up the right way, it's a stable product.""The backup software has been much faster since we've deployed the solution."

"You can back up the whole image.""It has a user-friendly interface.""The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup.""Offers good recovery quickly.""With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements.""The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent.""The installation was straightforward."

Cons
"It's complex in nature.""Its console UI should be better. It should also have more out-of-the-box reporting functionalities. It should also have easier cloud integration. They have got cloud boost and things like that, but if you want to directly back up to the cloud, I'm not too sure whether you can do it. For example, you can easily send data from Commvault to AWS, Azure, or a container, but it seems to be not so easy in NetWorker.""The licensing rules are difficult to navigate and understand.""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 user interface is hard to use, it should be simplified. There are a lot of web-based management interfaces which they should consider.""Dell NetWorker could improve the GUI to include rack recovery.""There could be a possibility of constructing full backups from incremental data intelligently.""Support is definitely an area of concern because of the time it takes to resolve our issues."

More Dell NetWorker Cons →

"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement.""Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement.""It needs an easier interface.""The pricing could be cheaper.""Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot.""We faced issues with recovery and restoration.""The reliability is sometimes lacking."
