Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Dell EMC NetWorker integrates well with our domain and the performance is quite good on-premise. We receive approximately 1 terabyte within one hour."
"It's a good product that can be integrated easily with the Data domain."
"Storage-wise, EMC is user-friendly."
"Simple, stable and straightforward."
"The solution has a longer lifespan."
"Technical support is good."
"The best feature of Dell EMC NetWorker is its wide spectrum of available plugins for each and every software that you can back up, such as SAP HANA, Oracle, AXI-based machines, or Dell-based machines. Whatever you want to back up, you can do it with Dell EMC NetWorker. It is a very solid backup software. It is the oldest backup software from EMC, and it comes from Dell EMC's legacy."
"When you reach out to your maximum license availability, or you exceed your license limit, NetWorker never stops doing your backups."
"Quick recovery."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes."
"There could be a possibility of constructing full backups from incremental data intelligently."
"I haven't had a good experience with technical support. It takes them a very long time to resolve issues."
"We would like support for tape space reclaim, using either the same or another pool."
"NetWorker sometimes has issues with the backup not starting and with connecting to the Oracle servers."
"Could have a better recovery system."
"Dell NetWorker could improve the GUI to include rack recovery."
"The configuration is too complex."
"The licensing rules are difficult to navigate and understand."
"The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
"HPE StoreOnce Backup to Disk (BTD) is not a good backup solution for NAS devices. It does not have a dual controller, so if one controller fails, the entire system will go down."
"When it comes to upgrading, it always goes block-wise. One block is 48 TB raw capacity. It would be good if they can include a smaller capacity for SMB customers. Currently, it is not possible to increase in a smaller capacity. You have to buy the exact same unit. It would be great if they can provide a smaller next block. There are around 20 hard disks, and it would be really helpful if we can add 10 hard disks initially and 10 hard disks later."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"We archive our backups on tape, so I feel like if we could somehow plug our tape drive directly into the StoreOnce device and set it up to where it would archive based on, if some kind of rules based engine or what have you, that would really be an improvement for us."
