Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
"What I found valuable in Dell Avamar is the deduplication feature. I also like that the solution can be integrated with Data Domain."
"Centralization is Avamar's biggest advantage. It moves data to a central location from various geographical locations."
"The performance of Dell EMC Avamar is good."
"The setup is very easy."
"Dell Avamar has helped our organization by allowing us to do backups."
"I like Dell EMC Avamar's compression of data."
"The most valuable features are image backups and file backups."
"So far, Avamar covers everything we want. We are replicating to other sites for disaster recovery, so it's working well for us."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"The configuration and expansion aspects of the solution need improvement. They're complicated and don't really integrate well."
"Avamar is still competitive because of the way we have deployed it, but we need to diversify and shift away from specific technologies. In addition to hypervisors, virtual machines, and bare metal servers, our customers need protection for Microsoft 365, SaaS, and the public cloud, so we need other technologies in the business to cater to those customers' needs. Those are the enhancements we would want from the Avamar platform, but that's not likely to happen. Dell has PowerProtect and Apex backup services. There are other Dell solutions that we'll use to fulfill our customers' requirements."
"Avamar cannot back up Nutanix as a virtual solution."
"More integration would be helpful, as well as the addition of more applications."
"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."
"Compared with Cohesity or Rubrik, which have some continuous data protection for backup and replication, this solution tends to lack in this area."
"Some customers need to back up to tape, but Avamar lacks support, so it costs a lot."
"It's an expensive solution."
