"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"The solution has been very stable."
"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."
"Stable and scalable backup and recovery software, with good technical support."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual backup."
"We have seen huge data reduction and data deduplication and compression, which is very cost-effective and cost-reducing for the company."
"For the on-prem backup, it has all the necessary features that we require. They keep coming up with new scripts and new updates."
"The most valuable features are image backups and file backups."
"Dell EMC Avamar has many valuable features. It's very stable and it's easy to manage."
"Graphically, it's very user interactive. It's got a very nice interface."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The solution should improve its tape-connectivity features."
"If you need to pull data out of it to offload to tapes, that's messy. You have a mechanism for it, but it is painful."
"It's not the best solution for big databases."
"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."
"What would make Dell Avamar better is if it can do faster backups because right now, PowerProtect Data Manager is better in this area with its new UI and a new way to implement backups. Customers nowadays also expect more up-to-date solutions, and this is another area for improvement in Dell Avamar. It's not as up-to-date, so I'm counting on PowerProtect Data Manager, but customers who have Dell Avamar don't want to switch because you don't have as many backup problems in Dell Avamar compared to other solutions. What I'd like to see in the next release of Dell Avamar is an updated UI and a different way to manage backups because currently, backup management is a bit heavy for customers using Dell Avamar."
"The support is very bad."
"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."
