"The most valuable feature for me in Dell Avamar is the automation, which is good for completion."
"We used Dell Avamar for backup and recovery of a virtual environment."
"Every product is good and bad, but its claim to fame is that it is scalable. We're doing more than 3,000 VMs. Every single night a complete image backup to disks and replication are easily done in under four hours."
"We sell Avamar with Data Domain. Data Domain and Avamar work really well together and their compression ratios are very high compared to Veeam, Commvault, and all the other backup software on the market."
"Graphically, it's very user interactive. It's got a very nice interface."
"Stable and scalable backup and recovery software, with good technical support."
"The reporting is very good compared to other tools."
"We rarely need their help. I would give their technical support an 8.5 out of ten. We are satisfied."
"It has been our go-to product for backup."
"It’s quite scalable."
"I can confidently say that I have managed more than 30 or 50 appliances over different time periods, and yet I never had a single hardware failure."

"NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is the duplication encryption standard feature."
"The NetBackup appliance features customized software that is designed for storage."
"I have found the support from Dell EMC Avamar to be not as good as Veeam. The time it takes to receive support could be improved. However, once we have the support the agents are knowledgeable and helpful."
"The UI is quite old. We've been using this UI since last year, and they haven't changed it. It would be better to update the UI periodically and create attractive dashboards from an administrative point of view."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having better integration and more flexibility."
"If you don't have DPA, the reporting features are not as user-friendly, so reporting is something that they can improve on."
"It's not the best solution for big databases."
"It lacks support for certain plugins, like SAP HANA, for example."
"The interface could be more helpful for people."

"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
"The product must improve its recovery features."
