Pros

More Dell NetWorker Pros →

"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want.""If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails.""Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great.""It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us.""The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration.""Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one.""The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes.""The interface is very user-friendly."

Cons
"It is a little buggy at times, which is the only thing that I dislike about this product.""Dell NetWorker could improve the GUI to include rack recovery.""Support is definitely an area of concern because of the time it takes to resolve our issues.""The web console could be a lot better.""We would like support for tape space reclaim, using either the same or another pool.""The product should provide integration with AWS.""There could be a possibility of constructing full backups from incremental data intelligently.""The user interface of this solution could be improved. It is not user friendly and is difficult to understand for new users. New users struggle to understand the logic."

More Dell NetWorker Cons →

"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement.""The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find.""The stability of the solution is poor.""I would like to see the option of cloud-based management.""The initial setup is a little complex.""The storage capacity is very low.""There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency.""In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
