Cons
"The UI needs some enhancement to be more user-friendly.""The management of Dell Networker is quite cumbersome.""Currently, the NetWorker server only supports the Windows server bare-metal recovery, so an improvement would be built-in support for Linux and UNIX BMR.""The configuration is too complex.""The implementation process could be improved.""We would like support for tape space reclaim, using either the same or another pool.""I would like to see encryption included in the next release to encrypt the data that we are backing up.""It is a little buggy at times, which is the only thing that I dislike about this product."

More Dell NetWorker Cons →

"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 interface and documentation need to improve."
