Offers seamless integration and cost-saving benefits with enhanced recovery capabilities
Currently, in my organization, I am using Dell NetWorker for open-source solutions like PostgreSQL and MySQL databases, and some large VM environments. It also supports the Dell library and is used for the library archiving system Dell NetWorker allows for extensive customization, supporting…

Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly
My advice depends on an organization’s needs. If an organization has a large volume of data, Delphix is a good choice. It is robust and very efficient with large volumes of data and different kinds of databases. If someone is looking for a one-stop solution with all features and capabilities, they must consider a different tool. Overall, I rate the product a six or seven out of ten.

Cons

"The management of Dell Networker is quite cumbersome."
"Could have a better recovery system."
"I haven't had a good experience with technical support. It takes them a very long time to resolve issues."
"Since the product is not on the front banner of Dell, the support may not be the best."
"The tool should be more streamlined and simplified to create a backup to receive objects."

"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."

"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."

"It's approximate, but I believe we pay around $20-30,000 a month in licensing."

"I rate the product price seven to eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is the low price, and ten is the high price."
