"It is an extremely stable product.""The most valuable features for us at the moment are NFS, file system backup, and IP backup.""Simple, stable and straightforward.""The best feature of Dell EMC NetWorker is its wide spectrum of available plugins for each and every software that you can back up, such as SAP HANA, Oracle, AXI-based machines, or Dell-based machines. Whatever you want to back up, you can do it with Dell EMC NetWorker. It is a very solid backup software. It is the oldest backup software from EMC, and it comes from Dell EMC's legacy.""Deduplication is the most valuable feature of this solution.""When it was required that data had to be restored for our customer, it was accomplished successfully and this has kept our end users satisfied.""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.""The backup feature for this product is good. It is easy to set up and easy to scale."

"An improvement is required in reports and backups for sharing on Linux and Unix."

More Barracuda Backup Cons →

"Regarding improvements for NetWorker, I believe implementing cross-platform restore functionality is essential. This feature would allow for compatibility with various backup software solutions, similar to Veeam.""The user interface has to be improved""The implementation process could be improved.""It's not easy to integrate. We have to read a lot of documentation in order to configure the solution.""The software also isn't user-friendly like Convault or Rubrik. The solution errors and management aren't so good in comparison.""Dell NetWorker could improve the GUI to include rack recovery.""The product should provide integration with AWS.""The team does not have enough knowledge to support you."
