We performed a comparison between Dell NetWorker and Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The backup capabilities and the automatization of the backup - along with the potential to make the back up on a virtual machine - are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"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 the best feature. It's very good and easy to use."
"The extensive information provided on tool properties has been very useful, specifically the information on databases"
"The initial setup is simple."
"NetWorker's most valuable feature is recovery, including the policy-based backups that can be configured."
"Simple, stable and straightforward."
"The software implementation takes about 30 minutes."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The technical support is good."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."
"The user interface is good."
"The solution is very simple. Management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution."
"The process of upgrading versions should be improved because as it is now, you have to completely uninstall the old version first, and then install the new version."
"The software also isn't user-friendly like Convault or Rubrik. The solution errors and management aren't so good in comparison."
"I would like to see the user interface improved, more documentation, faster support, and it could be easier to configure."
"The front end of the solution could improve. The user-friendliness is lacking."
"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."
"Currently, the NetWorker server only supports the Windows server bare-metal recovery, so an improvement would be built-in support for Linux and UNIX BMR."
"Reporting templates could be easier to understand and more comprehensive."
"There should be total integration of the replication and cloud logistic back up on cloud."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"The integration needs improvement."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."
