"The solution has been very stable."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"The solution is easy to use and has high performance."
"It is one of the best solutions for backing up Oracle and other servers."
"Effective in protecting the virtualization system and end points."
"I think the brand is very good. Support is also very nice for end users and integration with EMC products for businesses."
"Dell Avamar has helped our organization by allowing us to do backups."
"The most valuable feature for me in Dell Avamar is the automation, which is good for completion."
"Dell Avamar has a push upgrade feature that lets you simultaneously push updates to thousands of clients. I also found the self-service part of Dell Avamar helpful."
"The stability is okay."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"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."
"In my opinion, the user interface and the user friendliness could be improved. The specific thing I have in mind are the graphics, which are not quite user-friendly."
"The stability could improve, a lot of scheduled backups failed at one time."
"Dell hasn't done a good job at handling these upgrades, or the way EMC used to handle them."
"The licensing model is not very flexible. Every time we upgrade our storage size, we need to upgrade the Avamar license."
"It's not the best solution for big databases."
"The performance takes up a lot of resources, unfortunately."
"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."
