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."Very user-friendly with a good interface."
"The solution has a longer lifespan."
"The solution is stable."
"The software’s best feature is data backup for any system."
"I feel that it is a good product."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"NetWorker is fast and reliable."
"It is an extremely stable product."
"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."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"The user interface is good."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"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."
"Regarding improvements for NetWorker, I believe implementing cross-platform restore functionality is essential. This feature would allow for compatibility with various backup software solutions, similar to Veeam."
"While upgrading to a new version, we encounter challenges related to specific algorithms or code regulations."
"I haven't had a good experience with technical support. It takes them a very long time to resolve issues."
"Since the product is not on the front banner of Dell, the support may not be the best."
"There are too many reboots and the software requires constant updating."
"The configuration is too complex."
"Reporting templates could be easier to understand and more comprehensive."
"In the next release, I would like to see better pricing and more integration with the other products in Dell EMC."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"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."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"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 product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
