Executive SummaryUpdated on Aug 17, 2025

Dell NetWorker and Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup [EOL] compete in the backup solutions category. Dell NetWorker seems to have the upper hand with users finding its pricing and support more favorable, despite Nutanix Mine's user-friendly and rapid deployment features.

Features: Dell NetWorker offers a wide range of plugins, compatibility with multiple operating systems, and robust deduplication and compression capabilities, especially when paired with Data Domain. Its scalability and deep integration with VMware are also significant features. Nutanix Mine provides the advantage of integrated backup within the Nutanix ecosystem, enabling rapid deployment and delivering hyperconverged infrastructure benefits.

Room for Improvement: Dell NetWorker users note issues with restore speeds, complex configuration processes, and limited cloud integration, suggesting improvements in user-friendliness and better integration with Microsoft products. Nutanix Mine users raise concerns about security in micro-segmentation and compliance with industry standards such as IEC 62443, in addition to pricing and feature improvements for smaller businesses.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Dell NetWorker supports on-premises, hybrid, and private cloud environments but has complexities in deployment and varied technical support experiences, often requiring escalation. Nutanix Mine is integrated within Nutanix’s ecosystem making it user-friendly and quicker to deploy, with generally positive feedback on customer service.

Pricing and ROI: Dell NetWorker's mid-range pricing includes traditional and capacity-based licensing with discounts for bulk purchases, and despite being more expensive than some competitors, it provides a comprehensive suite valued by users. Nutanix Mine is considered expensive for small businesses but competitive for enterprises, offering fixed pricing depending on the software used. Both solutions provide ROI through efficient data recovery and operational savings, with NetWorker's capabilities further enhancing its value proposition.

An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support

I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"NetWorker's most valuable feature is recovery, including the policy-based backups that can be configured."

"The solution is simple to understand."

"Technical support is good."

"Dell NetWorker's valuable feature is its ability to configure the network for immutability, specifically for backups."

"The solution has a longer lifespan."

"It can support many different versions, both newer and older."

"The compression ratio is very flexible for designing all the required policies for backup."

"This solution is very stable."

More Dell NetWorker pros

"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."

"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."

"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."

"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."

"We find the ease of use valuable."

Cons

"The initial setup is complex."

"It's not easy to integrate. We have to read a lot of documentation in order to configure the solution."

"We would like support for tape space reclaim, using either the same or another pool."

"The installation process should be improved as it is complicated. To connect to a server, it's necessary to install a client on the server, which is challenging."

"There could be a possibility of constructing full backups from incremental data intelligently."

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

"NetWorker's major problem is its legacy software."

"he API side of the solution has certain shortcomings."

More Dell NetWorker cons

"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."

"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."

"It could be cheaper."

"The solution's setup process should be simplified."

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"The tool is pricey."

"The price is a little on the high side, but it's reliable and provides a good service."

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

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

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

"If you purchase Avamar, NetWorker is free with Avamar, for one terabyte license capacity."

More Dell NetWorker pricing and cost advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."

"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."

"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."

"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
