Carbonite Server vs Dell NetWorker comparison

"It seems reliable and easy to use."

"The solution is very stable."

"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."

"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."

"The Granular Restore of SQL feature has been a lifesaver more times than I can count. One of the main reasons for looking at Carbonite was their support for platforms like AIX and AS/400 Series."

"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."

"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."

"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."

"The full backup is a great feature. Restoration is also good and very quick."

"The solution is very stable, especially if you are using a RAC environment."

"The GUI is user-friendly."

"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 backup software has been much faster since we've deployed the solution."

"The software implementation takes about 30 minutes."

"Taking backups is faster."

"The solution is stable."

"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."

"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet. Its public cloud support can be improved. I would love to see the public cloud support for object storage, and it would be great, but what I always hear from the folks at Carbonite is that in a lot of cases, it directly competes with their cloud offering. So, I don't know when or where that will go or if that will go anywhere, but we are hopeful to see something. The dashboard is a little outdated. If they gave it a facelift and put some better design around their dashboard, that would be tremendous. I generally care less about the visual aesthetics of an application as long as it does what it needed to do, which is true in the case of this solution. We also have the Microsoft 365 platform. Because they're two separate platforms, I have to log in to my Microsoft platform to manage it, and I have to log into my Carbonite server backup platform to manage it. Having these two coexist together in one management console is really what we're looking for, but we went for it knowing this. We also knew that there would be some integration coming down the road. So, we're again hoping to see some of that coming in 2021."

"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."

"The only thing that I would like to see improved is related to marketing. Currently, it is very difficult to find the right paper and stuff for me. Their marketing department should provide better information because currently, it is very difficult to find information on the internet. It was bought over by OpenText, and you won't be able to find a lot of information about this solution on their site. They should also provide training facilities for commercial purposes. Some of my colleagues recently went for pilot training, and they were technical. If I want to get trained, the training has to be more commercial. Currently, there is no such training for users like me."

"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."

"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."

"The stability has room for improvement."

"Reporting templates could be easier to understand and more comprehensive."

"The support is an area with concerns where improvements are required."

"I would like to see the user interface improved, more documentation, faster support, and it could be easier to configure."

"The management of Dell Networker is quite cumbersome."

"The software also isn't user-friendly like Convault or Rubrik. The solution errors and management aren't so good in comparison."

"We would like support for tape space reclaim, using either the same or another pool."

"The process of upgrading versions should be improved because as it is now, you have to completely uninstall the old version first, and then install the new version."

"The user interface of this solution could be improved. It is not user friendly and is difficult to understand for new users. New users struggle to understand the logic."

"The pricing is between $120 and $150 per year."

"The solution is open source."

"Its price is reasonable."

"We pay 9,000 dollars per year for our license."

"It is a relatively inexpensive product compared to one of its competitors."

"Earlier, users had to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the product. The licenses were expensive but users used to get the best device to use."

"They are not cheap."

"It is not very expensive and not very cheap."

"The pricing is okay."

"Pricing is cheaper for this product, compared to its competitors."

"The pricing of the solution is not the cheapest compared to other similar solutions. The Networker is available as a component of the Dell EMC Data Protection Suite package and it should have the ability to be purchased separately."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
