We performed a comparison between Dell NetWorker and Druva inSync 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."Good scalability and virtual environment protection."
"Dell EMC NetWorker integrates well with our domain and the performance is quite good on-premise. We receive approximately 1 terabyte within one hour."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is an extremely stable product."
"I feel that it is a good product."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is very stable, especially if you are using a RAC environment."
"Dell's technical support are quite helpful with straightforward issues."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"All the data is well encrypted. In addition, the data is split into pieces so that if an endpoint is attacked or compromised with any kind of ransomware, the compromised machine can be relocated or restored. All the data that was previously backed up can be restored from the cloud. It has a lot of security features. Druva currently offers only the cloud version on AWS. Being a cloud solution, Druva goes by a lot of security compliances and provides a security portfolio. People are very skeptical of the data security in cloud solutions, and Druva has given consideration to that. It has some good geo-location features. If a machine is lost, when the machine is switched on and connected to the internet, that machine can be geo-located and tracked. It also has got the geo-wipeout feature. If someone tries to take out the data from a lost machine, they won't be able to do that. The moment an IT admin comes to know that the machine is no longer with a user, he or she can auto-run the geo-wipeout feature so that the data cannot be read by any third party. Duality replication is a unique thing about this solution. Everybody's data is not backed up if the data is common. Similar data is not backed up from other machines. The data backup also happens very smoothly. The bandwidth choking is very less. When the data is getting backed up, the users do not even get to know. There is no impact even when the users are not using high-speed bandwidth."
"The end-user experience is not good."
"It's not easy to integrate. We have to read a lot of documentation in order to configure the solution."
"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."
"I would like to see the user interface improved, more documentation, faster support, and it could be easier to configure."
"The support is an area with concerns where improvements are required."
"The stability of the NMC could use some attention, as it tends to be a bit shaky during jobs and other operations."
"In the next release, I would like to see better pricing and more integration with the other products in Dell EMC."
"It would be beneficial to have a single user interface for all of the features."
"The backup time is very poor. The backup runs continuously. It goes on from morning till night. The system performance also becomes very poor when Druva inSync is running."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"Druva inSync is very high in price. A general customer cannot afford this solution. Even if the product is good, people cannot afford such a high cost just for taking the backup. This is a recurring investment, and the customers have to pay for it every year. Druva is also yet to develop the channel and the channel or partner commitment."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"The speed could be better."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
