"The backup feature for this product is good. It is easy to set up and easy to scale."
"The most valuable feature is NetWorker's integration with the data domain that transfers the data directly into the Dell appliance, so the data doesn't need to pass through the network. NetWorker acts like a pipe, allowing the data to flow directly from the database or the VMware environment to the data domain."
"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."

"There are some limitations regarding scalability of the product."
"Reporting templates could be easier to understand and more comprehensive."
"The user interface has to be improved"
