Carbonite Server vs Dell NetWorker comparison

"Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively."

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

"It seems reliable and easy to use."

"The solution is very stable."

"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."

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

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

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

"Dell NetWorker allows for extensive customization, supporting various open-source databases like PostgreSQL."

"NetWorker is easy to install on clients and servers, and making backups from server to storage and backup devices is straightforward."

"This solution is really the best in the market! After evaluating other solutions, we automatically decided to use this one."

"The solution offers compatibility with many types of database systems. It is one of the largest backup solutions. Additionally, it gives important information about data domain systems with deduplication."

"The updated graphical interface is better than it used to be."

"Stability and the ease of taking backups are the biggest benefits of Dell NetWorker."

"The most valuable feature of Dell NetWorker is its quick configuration and handling of large databases."

"Dell NetWorker is easy to install, configure, and operate."

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

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

"The stability has room for improvement."

"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."

"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."

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

"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 initial setup is complex."

"The product should provide integration with AWS."

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

"I am not very satisfied with the support. The interface on the Java application makes it difficult, whereas the web interface is simple to use."

"It could be more user-friendly."

"The data storage capabilities should be improved."

"Its price is reasonable."

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

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

"The solution is open source."

"Licensing is based on the number of terabytes, so you need to purchase packages."

"The pricing of this solution is very good."

"The price of the solution could be lower, it is expensive."

"The price is a little on the high side, but it's reliable and provides a good service."

"It is excellent from the pricing point of view. It is free with Data Protection Suite. Similarly, when you purchase Avamar, Dell EMC NetWorker is free with one terabyte license capacity. Its price is very competitive."

"If you purchase Avamar, NetWorker is free with Avamar, for one terabyte license capacity."

"Dell EMC NetWorker is very expensive."

"The solution follows a subscription model for licensing. We pay annually to use the solution and the price is high."
