"The solution has been very stable."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The most valuable features are image backups and file backups."
"The tool's most valuable features are backup management and speed."
"The solution is easy to use and has high performance."
"Dell EMC Avamar is very good with endpoint backups."
"The source site replication feature is valuable."
"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."
"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."
"It was very simple to deploy the solution to the client that you wanted to backup."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"Its ability to back up very large objects can be improved. In terms of new features, they can include the ability to use cloud services, like S3, more natively."
"We'd like to see something that could also work with Unix servers and physical servers to have a unified solution that works with everything."
"More integration would be helpful, as well as the addition of more applications."
"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 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."
"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."
"We don't trust the product 100 percent. Kaspersky has many features Dell Avamar doesn't support, such as granular backup and history."
"The bare-metal restores could be improved."
