Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

The latest version has patched many bugs and runs well
The GUI is simple and straight forward but is powerful when needing to do more
Well priced solution among its peers

Documentation is lacking

Return on Investment

It has raised our backup budget however
Saving time doing multiple individual backups with existing system

Likelihood to Recommend

For users with a basic backup system that does not provide advanced data protection this is a life saver in the age we live in where hackers are looking to encrypt and ruin your important backups. I would recommend [Dell EMC Networker] based on its features, price, and ease of use. If you have a similar product already it does not offer many unique features however.

A life saver for keeping your most important data safe!
