We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is very stable, especially if you are using a RAC environment.""When you reach out to your maximum license availability, or you exceed your license limit, NetWorker never stops doing your backups.""The software implementation takes about 30 minutes.""The solution is simple to understand.""Simple, stable and straightforward.""It can support many different versions, both newer and older.""Data domain is a good feature.""It is scalable software. All you need to increase is its RAM and CPU. It's pretty easy."

Cons
"NetWorker's major problem is its legacy software.""The user interface has to be improved""Since the product is not on the front banner of Dell, the support may not be the best.""I would like to see better support for the container systems, and we would like to see more support for image backups instead of pure file backups.""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.""There should be total integration of the replication and cloud logistic back up on cloud.""In the next release, I would like to see better pricing and more integration with the other products in Dell EMC.""There could be a possibility of constructing full backups from incremental data intelligently."
