"The solution has been very stable."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"The backup and recovery speed is very fast."
"The setup is very easy."
"It is a very complete product."
"Dell EMC Avamar is very good with endpoint backups."
"I found the most valuable features of Dell Avamar are the user-friendly interface and ease to use. Our clients have administrated this software and there is no additional training required."
"The most valuable feature of Avamar would have to be the way it works over needing very little bandwidth to move data across a WAN or LAN."
"I have found the product to be scalable."
"The most valuable features are scalability and integration."
"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"Desktop-laptop backups and backup over the WAN needs lot of improvisation. For DTLT there must be a provision to push agents from the management console."
"The screen design is a bit back-dated."
"Avamar is dependent on the hardware. It can't be implemented with ordinary storage. It can only be implemented with an EMC product. We want to have a backup solution that allows us to use independent storage and other hardware. It would be good if they can simplify its technology and make it possible to implement it with another storage. This is probably not possible because Avamar is an EMC product, and EMC would like to sell its own products."
"EMC has discontinued their Avamar hardware version. They only advertise the Avamar virtual edition."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It's not as good as it could be."
"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."
"It lacks support for certain plugins, like SAP HANA, for example."
"When we used the solution, it was still new, and so the customer service/technical support was not the best."
