"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"The solution has been very stable."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"Quick incremental backups and product replication are the two highlights of the product. Once you capture a full backup, incrementals are pretty quick. It is fairly efficient from that perspective."
"It was very simple to deploy the solution to the client that you wanted to backup."
"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."
"Dell EMC Avamar is very good with endpoint backups."
"The product is very powerful and offers very good performance."
"We have a lot of backups, and this tool helps us with the RMAN Backup."
"The backup is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very reliable."
"The solution scales well."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"The solution should improve its tape-connectivity features."
"When you get down to doing certain things, such as somebody wants a particular file restored, the process by which you do that is stupid. You kind of have to know exactly where to look for in order to find it. Even on older backup products that I've used, I didn't have that kind of problem. If we were looking for a file with a particular kind of a name, the solution would find that file anywhere irrespective of where it resides within the backup system. So, we didn't have to know the name of the specific server, the specific timeframe, almost all the characters of the file name, and all kinds of data in order to find a file. In Avamar, we got to know these details. We've gone around and around with them on that, and their attitude seems to be that it is working just fine. There is nothing for them to improve. The organizational system of other products that I'm working with, such as Zerto and Cohesity, seems to be centered around the tasks that you would most commonly do and want to do, as opposed to we've laid it out in a really neat technical hierarchy."
"We have had a lot of problems with the Dell EMC Avamar solution. The snapshots are not being erased after backup."
"The initial setup is a bit complex and could be simpler."
"It's an expensive solution."
"I think they could also move more towards cloud solutions. It already has some cloud tiering, but I think that could be more extensive. They should work with all cloud providers and I think in the future they will be on all cloud platforms."
"The configuration and expansion aspects of the solution need improvement. They're complicated and don't really integrate well."
"When we used the solution, it was still new, and so the customer service/technical support was not the best."
