We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

"Technical support is good."

"Storage-wise, EMC is user-friendly."

"NetWorker has very good scalability."

"I started off as a storage engineer and ended up owning Dell EMC Data Domain and Dell EMC NetWorker. I've not used any other backup solutions at this scale. Dell EMC NetWorker does what I need it to do, it's efficient."

"The support for legacy products is very good."

"It integrates well with Dell's Data Domain as a backup storage solution."

More Dell NetWorker pros

Cons

"The management could be a bit better."

"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."

"Support is definitely an area of concern because of the time it takes to resolve our issues."

"It is not easy to understand and deploy. It is complex in nature. Simplicity is not there. When we deploy it, the customer always needs some training from us. To make it user friendly, there should be one agent that can be used to back up every product. Dell EMC NetWorker uses so many user agents. In PowerProtect Data Manager, you can just install its VM, import that VM into vCenter, and you can start to do backups directly from vCenter. However, in Dell EMC NetWorker, you always need one server, and from that server, you need to initiate all backups. You must know the interface and the CLI. It is not user friendly. It would be a great feature if we can deploy Dell EMC NetWorker on a virtual machine, like Avamar. The additional features that are required in Dell EMC NetWorker are already available in PowerProtect Data Manager and Avamar. Therefore, there is no need to enhance Dell EMC NetWorker. It would be better if they can just rename it to PowerProtect Data Manager or Avamar."

"I am not very satisfied with the support. The interface on the Java application makes it difficult, whereas the web interface is simple to use."

"When you're working with VMware, you need to use vProxy machines. You have to install the vProxy for every host in the VMware environment."

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

"There should be more vendors incorporated into the solution."

"The management of Dell Networker is quite cumbersome."

"Management of the software is a little bit hazy and not easy."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."

"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."

"There is a licensing fee."

"Low cost is key."

"Pricing is cheaper for this product, compared to its competitors."

"Dell NetWorker is an expensive solution. None of the backup products are cheap. The licensing model offered is usually a five-year one."

"The price of the solution could be lower, it is expensive."

"The tool is pricey."

"Earlier, users had to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the product. The licenses were expensive but users used to get the best device to use."

"It is not very expensive and not very cheap."
