We performed a comparison between Barracuda Intronis Backup and Dell NetWorker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The main feature we like about Barracuda is that we can map devices directly to the cloud. It operates as a security device to run a backup of the cloud in case one of our physical machines goes down."
"It is very reliable, so we don't have any issues with it. Our customers have never raised any issue with it. Basically, once you set it up and it is running, it is trouble-free. Our customers are happy. They just got a renewal for the subscription for the service."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
"Its interface is intuitive, and it is easy to use when I am restoring files. Barracuda does a really excellent job at compression, which makes it very efficient. Eight years later, I am only halfway through to the capacity, which is very good."
"They are the best support that we have had so far. When you contact or email them, they are very quick to respond. They always have someone available for us. That's what we want as a customer, we want someone to listen to us."
"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."
"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."
"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 updated graphical interface is better than it used to be."
"The response time of the tech support is swift. The support is fantastic."
"The software’s best feature is data backup for any system."
"The feature that offers the greatest benefits in ensuring data integrity is its backup capability."
"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."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Good scalability and virtual environment protection."
"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."
"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."
"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."
"It is not always stable."
"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."
"While upgrading to a new version, we encounter challenges related to specific algorithms or code regulations."
"Since the product is not on the front banner of Dell, the support may not be the best."
"In the next release, I would like to see better pricing and more integration with the other products in Dell EMC."
"We would like support for tape space reclaim, using either the same or another pool."
"The software also isn't user-friendly like Convault or Rubrik. The solution errors and management aren't so good in comparison."
"The product should provide integration with AWS."
"The deduplication needs improvement and it could use better integration."
"The front end of the solution could improve. The user-friendliness is lacking."
