We performed a comparison between Dell NetWorker and NetApp Cloud Backup 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 possibility of recovering up-to-the-moment data is very useful."
"It is the best umbrella, serving the best applications."
"NetWorker's most valuable feature is recovery, including the policy-based backups that can be configured."
"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."
"Technical support is good."
"The extensive information provided on tool properties has been very useful, specifically the information on databases"
"When you reach out to your maximum license availability, or you exceed your license limit, NetWorker never stops doing your backups."
"It can support many different versions, both newer and older."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"Scalability is very good."
"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."
"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."
"NetWorker's major problem is its legacy software."
"Support is definitely an area of concern because of the time it takes to resolve our issues."
"The management of Dell Networker is quite cumbersome."
"The price could be cheaper."
"There should be total integration of the replication and cloud logistic back up on cloud."
"There should be more vendors incorporated into the solution."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
