"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."
"Interfaces need to be improved."
"Its ability to back up very large objects can be improved. In terms of new features, they can include the ability to use cloud services, like S3, more natively."
"EMC has discontinued their Avamar hardware version. They only advertise the Avamar virtual edition."
"The configuration and expansion aspects of the solution need improvement. They're complicated and don't really integrate well."
"Avamar cannot back up Nutanix as a virtual solution."
