Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has been very stable."

"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"There are no problems in terms of stability."
"It is scalable software. All you need to increase is its RAM and CPU. It's pretty easy."
"The support for legacy products is very good."
"Very user-friendly with a good interface."
"The backup feature for this product is good. It is easy to set up and easy to scale."
"The most valuable features for us at the moment are NFS, file system backup, and IP backup."
"This solution is really the best in the market! After evaluating other solutions, we automatically decided to use this one."
"Data domain is a good feature."
 

Cons

"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The end-user experience is not good."
"The support is an area with concerns where improvements are required."
"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."
"I would like to see encryption included in the next release to encrypt the data that we are backing up."
"The team does not have enough knowledge to support you."
"The implementation process could be improved."
"NetWorker's major problem is its legacy software."
"Since the product is not on the front banner of Dell, the support may not be the best."
 

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."
"Dell EMC NetWorker is very expensive."
"It is not very expensive and not very cheap."
"The price of the solution could be lower, it is expensive."
"The pricing for the telecom, government, and banking sectors is relatively affordable."
"The solution follows a subscription model for licensing. We pay annually to use the solution and the price is high."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The price of the license could be cheaper and it would be a benefit if they came up with a new pricing model. The competitors here in Oman sell universal licensing where a number of virtual machines are hosted at the customer place which can be licensed, or you can license the CPU sockets in those servers. However, NetWorker offers only CPU sockets or overall storage capacity to backup, but there is no universal licensing where you can provide a number of VMs. They should offer more options to stay competitive with other solutions, such as Veeam."
"It is inexpensive compared to new products."
