The support was lacking and the product was quite expensive. We never had any success with the procuct and it cost us and arm and a leg. Pros Well known company. When EMC was not affiliated with Dell, the level of competent support was a big drawback Cons support was lacking, the product was not compatibale with our infrstructure, hardware requirements. The install process was quite cumbersome. Very very expensive Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Easy to configure. Upgrades work well. Just need to make sure you follow best practices etc. Pros Works with most things we need to backup that are enterprise grade. Does VMWare and traditional machine backups very well. Paired with good storage it works great. Cons Managing existing backup sets can be a good bit of work if you need to change expiry dates, etc. Sometimes needing to use the CLI or script for a larger change. But that is very powerful also.

Technical Manager Computer Hardware ### "DELL EMC Networker is a complete backup solution that lacks in several points " 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 June 11, 2021 We inmplement Networker of an environment with VMware cluster and some sparc oracle servers for database oracle, networker does a great work to backup this environment, using DD-Boots software we can finishe the backup more quicly and it has an integration with Data Domain storage backup as repossitory. Pros The ability to backup RICS environments like Oracle SPARC, IBM Power and HPE Itanium is the most value for this software, lacks to backup pc´s o laptos with an easy interface. Networker is a robust software for enterprise companies with a mix of operating systems, applications and infraestructure. Cons The lack of backup pc´s and laptops easy, another thing that cant backup is Postgress and Cassandra DB with an agent. Another bad point is the cost of the software if you use capacity model, the costo is too high thats the reason that only gih and mid range companies can afford the adquisition. Alternatives considered [Rubrik](https://www.capterra.com/p/148206/Rubrik/) Reasons for choosing Dell EMC NetWorker Because the integration between hardware and software of DELL EMC offers a great backup solutions and the ability to backup RISK systems, another software needs other plugins and thrid party integrations.

We had som many issue with the product that we regret buying it after a couple of months. Also support is not good at all, we had to pay extra to get something better. Pros Difficult to answer this... probably the deal we had initially, it was cheap... maybe we had to worry why before buying it. Like everything you get what you paid for. Cons So many bug everywhere, could be much easier to deploy and maintain. This product was developed years ago and it is wired it is not more stable. Reasons for choosing Dell EMC NetWorker The price but it was a mistake. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.
