Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"The solution has been very stable."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Data Domain and your VM stacks."
"They are extremely reliable and scalable — they provide the best de-duplication on the market."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"It works quickly and is very stable."
"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."
"Its deduplication technologies are the best in the market, currently."
"The data reduction feature and the ease of enabling a server in a DR location are the most valuable."
"Client deduplication."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"When we used the solution, it was still new, and so the customer service/technical support was not the best."
"What would make Dell Avamar better is if it can do faster backups because right now, PowerProtect Data Manager is better in this area with its new UI and a new way to implement backups. Customers nowadays also expect more up-to-date solutions, and this is another area for improvement in Dell Avamar. It's not as up-to-date, so I'm counting on PowerProtect Data Manager, but customers who have Dell Avamar don't want to switch because you don't have as many backup problems in Dell Avamar compared to other solutions. What I'd like to see in the next release of Dell Avamar is an updated UI and a different way to manage backups because currently, backup management is a bit heavy for customers using Dell Avamar."
"Dell Avamar could improve by adding more backup features."
"Some integrations are not in place, such as the email alerts, which are not compatible with Office 365 SMTP gateway."
"Backup image browse times should be faster."
"The solution is not very strong on the Cloud. They should work out how they can use this as a backup as a service."
"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 reporting should be improved, as we currently have to use another tool for that purpose."
