"I like the tool set, it's easy to work on and the support is brilliant."
"The most valuable features are the performance and the duplication."
"Data Domain Boost has a unique protocol. I don't think with other vendors you get the same efficiency. I work with some the other products, but this solution has amazing efficiency in comparison."
"DD Boost's best features are deduplication and compression."
"The solution can scale."
"We are talking about a complete end-to-end solution which comes with its own hardware storage to back up the data on tape-less."
"The most valuable feature of Avamar would have to be the way it works over needing very little bandwidth to move data across a WAN or LAN."
"We've been using this solution to backup our servers. It is a simple backup and restore data application."
"The performance of Dell EMC Avamar is good."
"Effective in protecting the virtualization system and end points."

"The solution is very user-friendly."
"Easy to configure and highly reliable for backup."
"There are limitations when using the VTL protocol in extreme cases."
"The solution needs to be more user-friendly for the end-users."
"This solution should cover more platforms, and there should be more product coverage."

"If you are using it with Recovery Manager, there are certain limitations. If those limitations are addressed, productivity will improve."
"When my company faced a problem with the product, it took some time to get proper support."
"The experience of restoring VMware or Veeam Backup is difficult, when the backup you are using is a solution for backup, which is already having a deduplication. When you try to restore from Data Domain, it doesn't work perfectly, because Data Domain is already having a deduplication as well."
"The solution could always be cheaper."
"The solution could improve by having better integration and more flexibility."
"Avamar is not the best tool when it comes to taking Azure backups. Like Commvault, if Avamar can support VM-level backups for the cloud, that would make it a bit better."

"This solution could improve by introducing daily verifications and another repository."
