Dell NetWorker vs Dell ProtectPoint [EOL] comparison

"I'm very satisfied with Dell's technical support."

"The initial setup is very easy. It's incredibly fast."

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

"The software is quite complicated and useful for large corporations using different information systems."

"Customer Service: It is great; EMC support is one of the best."

"The support for legacy products is very good."

"The feature that offers the greatest benefits in ensuring data integrity is its backup capability."

"Dell EMC NetWorker is a very solid backup software with a wide spectrum of available plugins for each and every software you can back up, such as SAP, SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, and AIX, and it has a rich set of features."

"The speed and the ease of the initial setup are both good. It is not complex."

"I would definitely recommend this solution."

"One of the features I find most valuable, is the good technical support."

"Since I started working with Dell a few months ago, I have found that the solution is very strong."

"The user interface of this solution could be improved. It is not user friendly and is difficult to understand for new users."

"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."

"The front end of the solution could improve. The user-friendliness is lacking."

"The UI is not user-friendly."

"The web console could be a lot better."

"This is a highly scalable solution, but on a larger scale, it is not very stable."

"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."

"Its console UI should be better. It should also have more out-of-the-box reporting functionalities."

"The product has to be more mature, like to be another six to eight months on the market. A lot of maturity needs to be incorporated."

"The product has to be more mature, like to be another six to eight months on the market; a lot of maturity needs to be incorporated."

"Sometimes I find that the interface is not as good as it should be."

"The interface and documentation need to improve."

"Low cost is key."

"The solution follows a subscription model for licensing. We pay annually to use the solution and the price is high."

"The tool is pricey."

"There is a licensing fee."

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

"You have to buy the deduplication software separately from the license."

"The pricing of the solution is not the cheapest compared to other similar solutions. The Networker is available as a component of the Dell EMC Data Protection Suite package and it should have the ability to be purchased separately."

"We use a license without a time term. We just need to buy additional support when needed."
