Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution has been very stable."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"Dell EMC Avamar is very good with endpoint backups."
"Dell Avamar has helped our organization by allowing us to do backups."
"The solution scales well."
"We sell Avamar with Data Domain. Data Domain and Avamar work really well together and their compression ratios are very high compared to Veeam, Commvault, and all the other backup software on the market."
"The backup is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very reliable."
"The product has a proven track record of good backups without much of a failure ratio. It also has a good backup in terms of the compression ratio."
"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."
"Easy to configure and highly reliable for backup."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"The UI is not easy to use. There are other products such as Veeam that are easy to use for the end-user which is why they are moving away from Avamar or Networker."
"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 solution used to freeze sometimes while taking a snapshot backup."
"EMC has discontinued their Avamar hardware version. They only advertise the Avamar virtual edition."
"The product could offer more integration capabilities."
"Interfaces need to be improved."
"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."
"The product could be improved by simplifying the components available."
