Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is very user-friendly. After setting up five machines for our customers we teach them how to set up the agent and start doing their backups. It is very easy for them once they see how to do it, they like to do it on their own.""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.""NetWorker's most valuable feature is recovery, including the policy-based backups that can be configured.""Dell EMC NetWorker integrates well with our domain and the performance is quite good on-premise. We receive approximately 1 terabyte within one hour.""Deduplication is the most valuable feature of this solution.""Anybody could drive the GUI.""The initial setup is very easy. It's incredibly fast.""Good scalability and virtual environment protection."

Cons
"he API side of the solution has certain shortcomings.""The solution could be graphically better.""The support is an area with concerns where improvements are required.""The initial setup is complex.""They need more support for image backups.""The stability of the NMC could use some attention, as it tends to be a bit shaky during jobs and other operations.""We are able to do direct backups, but analyzing the logs is not straightforward.""It could be more user-friendly."

More Dell NetWorker Cons →

"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."
