"All the features in the system are highly valuable."
"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."

"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."

"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."
"Setting up Avamar wasn't so easy, and we had a partner doing the installation for us. Though it was hard at first, it's getting better. The main difficulty was finding plugins for Oracle Database. It took some time to open a ticket with Dell, but everything was fine after that."
"Dell EMC Avamar is a very complex product. It took a lot of time for the IT admins to get trained on how to use it. It is not very user-friendly, and we won't be using Avamar anymore. It needs a lot of improvement in terms of how the backups have been configured, and the reporting is too complex."
"It lacks support for certain plugins, like SAP HANA, for example."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The bare-metal restores could be improved."
"It's very slow to backup and store information. It has two consoles and an application which are more difficult to use than a solution like Veeam."
"We'd like to see something that could also work with Unix servers and physical servers to have a unified solution that works with everything."
