Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"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 setup is very easy."
"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."
"Avamar has long been the best in its class, but that's changing as new solutions emerge. However, Dell has traditionally been a leader in deduplication and compression. Avamar enabled us to shift data from on-premise local appliances to data centers and multi-tenant infrastructure. That's a powerful feature. because customers can back up to the cloud without upgrading o high-capacity links or congesting their backups."
"Its deduplication technologies are the best in the market, currently."
"The data reduction feature and the ease of enabling a server in a DR location are the most valuable."
"Effective in protecting the virtualization system and end points."
"Scheduling is valuable. It does a good job of backing up, and it does a good job of restoring. Nobody has got a problem with that. The agents are well supported."
"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 management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The screen design is a bit back-dated."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It's not as good as it could be."
"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."
"The recovery is a bit slow."
"I have found the support from Dell EMC Avamar to be not as good as Veeam. The time it takes to receive support could be improved. However, once we have the support the agents are knowledgeable and helpful."
"I want to see a more user-friendly and administrator-friendly Dell Avamar. The solution also needs a better UI and dashboard."
"The configuration and expansion aspects of the solution need improvement. They're complicated and don't really integrate well."
