Dell NetWorker Reviews

We are system integrators.

We have many systems that are being backed up using NetWorker, mainly in a virtualized environment, with several typical workloads.

It's a good product that can be integrated easily with the Data domain. 

They have many different products but they don't integrate all of the features into one product. This is an area of failure with this solution. For example, if we want source-side deduplication then we have to use Avamar because this kind of feature isn't available in NetWorker.

Some features in NetWorker are good as well as some features in Avamar are good. If they could combine the features of both products into one single product, it would be better.

In the next release, I would like to see better pricing and more integration with the other products in Dell EMC.

We have been using Dell EMC NetWorker for three years.

We are using the latest version.

It's a stable solution and we have not had any issues.

It's a backup system that is backing up more than 50 different systems.

We plan to continue using this solution. It's a good product.

We have contacted technical support and they have provided us with good technical support. 

We have no issues.

Because NetWorker does not provide all of the features such as source-side deduplication, we have had to go with some other products.

The Installation is quite easy. 

The deployment took a maximum of three to four days.

The complete installation needed a bit of extra time due to some downtime for adding systems. But generally, the basic installation and configuration are done within three to four days.

We have a good engineering team and the internal team is capable of handling the implementation.

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

There are other products on the market with better pricing, which makes it a challenge to sell NetWorker.

I would definitely recommend NetWorker to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Dell EMC NetWorker an eight out of ten.

Dell EMC NetWorker is used for backing up and restoring data.

Dell EMC NetWorker integrates well with our domain and the performance is quite good on-premise. We receive approximately 1 terabyte within one hour.

The solution could improve by having more integration.

I have been using Dell EMC NetWorker for approximately 10 years.

The solution is stable.

Dell EMC NetWorker is scalable but it has some limitations.

We have approximately five people using this solution in my organization.

I have been satisfied with the technical support.

I have previously used Commvault.

The installation is straightforward.

We can do the implementation with two engineers and one manager.

There is a license required to use the solution and it is on an annual basis.

I would recommend the on-premise deployment of the solution but not the cloud version.

I rate Dell EMC NetWorker a seven out of ten.

Most customers are integrated with the hypervisor environment. It's a mix between VMware and Hyper-V. The database and integration with the database is SQL and it has since changed to Oracle. This is mostly what we are using to unify everything.

The solution has minimized the recovery time objective, and the recovery point objective, the RTO and RPO. Most customers are looking to minimize downtime. The solution has helped ensure this.

The backup and configuration for the virtual environment have been the most valuable features, especially with VMware.

The operating system could be improved. The interface could also be much easier.

The stability is very nice.

The solution has very good scalability.

Technical support is good, but it depends on the time zone. I've noticed that some areas offer better support than others.

The initial setup isn't straightforward or complex. It's somewhere in between. Deployment took about two weeks.

I did the implementation myself.

The pricing is mid-range. It's not the cheapest, but it's not too expensive.

We are using the on-premises deployment model.

I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

It's not easy to integrate. We have to read a lot of documentation in order to configure the solution. 

• Management GUI
• Pools to direct backups to storage

It allows us to not worry about our backups.

Some functionality is restricted to Data Domain.

21 years.

No.

No.

Excellent.

The initial setup was complex in 1996, but now our environment is simpler, thus requiring two servers.

If you need to backup multiple OS platforms, this is the product to purchase

NetWorker is for backing up large files and data banks. 

NetWorker is fast and reliable. 

The price could be cheaper. 

I've been using NetWorker for a long time. I've been a Dell reseller in Brazil for 10 years. 

NetWorker is scalable. 

Dell EMC support is good. 

Installing NetWorker is somewhat complicated. You need people with some technical expertise to do it. It takes one or two Dell-certified engineers to deploy and maintain it. 

I rate NetWorker seven out of 10. Dell EMC needs to update NetWorker to stay competitive in the niche market for backup structures.

We use this solution for backing up our systems.

It can support many different versions, both newer and older.

The interface is the same, so when we are trying to troubleshoot the logs, it doesn't display properly.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of development with this solution. You don't see any updates with the features, or any development with the features. In general, Dell EMC doesn't seem to be investing much in the R&D of this product. They are selling it off.

I would like to see an improvement with the features in terms of troubleshooting and ease of use.

The documentation is very poor. It takes quite a bit of experience to understand the documentation. A new person who is going through the documentation will not be able to understand. There is no detailed documentation.

The product itself is good, but it takes a lot of time to troubleshoot.

I would like to see the user interface improved, more documentation, faster support, and it could be easier to configure.

I have been using this solution for five to six years.

We are using the latest version.

The stability is okay. When it works, it works perfectly, but when we run into issues it requires a lot of effort to fix it. 

You can't rate it as good or bad, because this is how it works.

It's a scalable solution. We have 10 customers and we plan to continue using it.

Technical support should be a lot better.

It takes a few hours for a smaller implementation. I can plan and implement it.

It takes more time for a larger implementation.

We have one engineer to deploy and maintain this solution.

I completed the implementation myself.

There is a licensing fee.

Recommending this solution would depend on the customer. Certain customers will require this it.

Deployment is easy, but managing is more difficult when you run into issues.

I would rate Dell EMC NetWorker a seven out of ten.

We used the on-prem version of this solution. Our primary use case of this solution is for backup and recovery software. 

The deduplication needs improvement and it could use better integration. 

It's very stable. 

NetWorker has very good scalability. 

They have good technical support. They had good solutions for any problems I had. 

We are in the process of switching to Commvault. It was a business decision, not a technical problem with NetWorker. 

This solution might be a bit complex for an end-user but it's a great solution for a technical person. 

I think it's a very good solution. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten. No solution can be a ten. 

We use this solution for backup and recovery.

It is the best umbrella, serving the best applications.

The user interface needs some work.

It would be beneficial to have a single user interface for all of the features.

I have been using Dell EMC NetWorker for 10 years.

There are no issues with the stability of this solution. Dell EMC NetWorker is a stable product.

Dell EMC NetWorker is a scalable solution.

I have contacted technical support. As a percentage, I would rate them 70%.

The initial setup is moderate.  It's not easy but it is not complex.

I would rate Dell EMC NetWorker a seven out of ten.
