Dell EMC: Good but not the best
Dell EMC was used as our primary backup system. It is now past warranty and is our secondary backup system. We have two to backup our local file shares, SQL, and other data on our network. A lot of this is becoming more scarce because of systems moving to the web.

NetWorker, better called "Not Workin'"
We have been using NetWorker for the past three years for all Open Systems (Windows and Linux) backups. It has been the worst nightmare of my 40+ years in IT. We never had even one day when all of our backups completed successfully. Support was horrible. We are now in the process of completely replacing it with a different solution.

Great tool as a supplement to your existing backup solution
Dell EMC Networker is a data protection suite that gives us peace of mind over our more important data and its backups. We are using it at the Data Center to give us another layer or level of backup prowess as well as a means to hold onto critical data. The business problems that are solved by its use are having corrupted, failed, or missing backup data.
Dell/EMC NetWorker is utilized here to take care of some critical backups for servers that need enhanced data protections. We use it to keep a tight hold on integral backups that would be needed in the event of a disaster recovery or security incident. It solves the problem of relying on regular backup software that cannot perform the advanced functions.

A life saver for keeping your most important data safe!
Dell EMC Networker is a solution for protecting the data of our file servers and App/DB servers. We got it to solve the problem of missing data protection features in our existing Commvault backup solution. We compared its features to others and found it will be good enough to protect our File, App, and DB servers across the organization.
Teknicor uses [Dell EMC] Networker to protect our customer data. Our customers range in size from SMB to Enterprise. It is a powerful, versatile, and reliable data protection solution, especially when used in conjunction with DataDomain.

There are better solutions out there.
Networker is being used in conjuncture with Dell DataDomain to facilitate the backup and restores of a large number of VMs as well as a number of Databases. We are using it as a department and not across the entire enterprise. It provides data recovery in the event of user or hardware error. That being said, it has been hard to work with, is not user friendly and tends to fail backups at a regular basis. We've been looking for an alternative.
We use Dell EMC Networker to protect about 90 virtual machines and a handful of physical servers across two AD domains. We had been looking for dedicated backup hardware and settled on Data Domain as the solution. At the time we were using Acronis as the software side of our DR strategy and were aware we needed something more robust, but this was secondary to having dedicated storage appliances. Dell offered to bundle Networker with this hardware and the price/feature set seemed to be a good fit.

Networker - Solid Small to Mid-size Product With Few Drawbacks
Networker is being used as the primary backup software for our organization.

Networker, reliable but works like backup software
At Provident Funding, we use Networker for backing up virtual machine images, a few physical Windows systems, and some of our Cellera NAS. We push it all to a data domain. It is being used only by IT directly and users make requests to us as needed for recoveries. Networker gives us reduced risk of data loss.
