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."The solution is very stable, especially if you are using a RAC environment."
"Dell EMC NetWorker is scalable."
"When you reach out to your maximum license availability, or you exceed your license limit, NetWorker never stops doing your backups."
"It has the ability to support all kinds of backups. It can be used to back up databases, operating systems, virtual machines, Lotus Notes, and Exchange. It can also do remote image backups for remote sites. It integrates and works with Data Domain. It is an enterprise-class product that can be used for anything and everything across multiple sites and locations. It is also very scalable."
"The GUI is user-friendly."
"The software’s best feature is data backup for any system."
"The software implementation takes about 30 minutes."
"The best feature is the DR replication for us."
"It is a powerful software for communicating with the storage and for redundancy."
"The product is very simple in its design. We don't need it to perform complicated tasks."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The solution is stable and the performance is good."
"From my experience, Veeam is very good. Its interface is user-friendly. We can restore it whenever. It's not complicated. It's very easy to manage and administration is very easy."
"The instant VM recovery feature is the most valuable. It is a very good tool for disaster recovery. It is also easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature is the continuous backup."
"The backup and replication features of this solution are most valuable."
"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 team does not have enough knowledge to support you."
"Lacks a restore feature."
"We are looking forward to better stability in future versions."
"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 better support for the container systems, and we would like to see more support for image backups instead of pure file backups."
"Since the product is not on the front banner of Dell, the support may not be the best."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Its native capability for talking to the public cloud needs improvement. Connecting to a public cloud is a little bit more of a challenge when it comes to Veeam than it is with Rubrik or Commvault. There are still some hoops that you got to jump through in order to send Veeam backups out to public cloud repositories. It is not as simple as it is with other products."
"The endpoint protection console is not centralized."
"The patching can be quite difficult at times."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It could be simpler to use."
"Needs better integration with cloud service providers."
"It's a great product, but only if you have everything virtualized."
"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."
"If they could add more support for all of the modern hypervisors, that would make Veeam much better and more flexible to work with. For example, there is no solution for VM to VM replication when it comes to Oracle OEM servers."
