Senior Specialist Backup/Storage at National Bank of Kuwait4.0I've used Dell NetWorker for eight years and find it flexible and stable, with broad platform support, though its role-based access and GUI need improvement; setup is easy, support is good, and it suits my on-premises backup needs well.
Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at Safaricom Ethiopia plc4.5I use Dell NetWorker for its customizable support with open-source databases like PostgreSQL, saving costs and streamlining recovery. While I find the integration great, the support could improve. It surpasses solutions like Veeam for open-source environments.
System Engineer at NCCPL3.5I use Dell NetWorker for server and file system backups, appreciating its restoration capabilities and client management. However, the installation process is complex, and synchronization with IBM technologies can be problematic, causing errors with our tape library backups.
Solution Architect at Apollo Telecom4.5I primarily use Dell NetWorker for backup in my company. It integrates well with Avamar and Data Domain, offering valuable automation features like replication, but its GUI needs improvement compared to competitors. Price is a significant consideration.
Sr. Area Technical Manager at tata elxsi4.5We primarily use Dell NetWorker for file and database backup in the automobile industry. The deduplication and staging features efficiently manage disk space and our retention policy. We've been loyal for over twenty years, seeing a good return on investment.
Senior Architect at NXP Semiconductors Netherlands B.V. Internet EMEA3.5I've found Dell NetWorker affordable with good support, but it lacks scalability and seamless integration with Oracle and Microsoft. I'm still evaluating its customization and performance while comparing it with alternatives like Veritas NetBackup.
Senior Manager of Operations at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees4.0We use Dell NetWorker to back up 90% of our virtualized infrastructure, benefiting from its efficient change block backup. While the product is valuable, it needs improvement in cloud integration to compete with other solutions like Cohesity and Rubrik.
Storage and Backup Consultant at Hydro One3.5I use Dell NetWorker for backing up numerous store servers. The software is reliable with shell utilities for reporting and scheduling. However, deploying multiple NVP vProxy servers for VMware backups is somewhat cumbersome. Integration isn't problematic, facilitating diverse backups.
