Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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 solution has been very stable."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"The product is very powerful and offers very good performance."
"The solution is easy to use and has high performance."
"We've been using this solution to backup our servers. It is a simple backup and restore data application."
"The solution scales well."
"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 setup is very easy."
"I think the brand is very good. Support is also very nice for end users and integration with EMC products for businesses."
"Effective in protecting the virtualization system and end points."
"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"Avamar is dependent on the hardware. It can't be implemented with ordinary storage. It can only be implemented with an EMC product. We want to have a backup solution that allows us to use independent storage and other hardware. It would be good if they can simplify its technology and make it possible to implement it with another storage. This is probably not possible because Avamar is an EMC product, and EMC would like to sell its own products."
"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."
"Interfaces need to be improved."
"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."
"The challenges we do face typically revolve around aligning specific features with our accustomed tool usage."
"Dell hasn't done a good job at handling these upgrades, or the way EMC used to handle them."
"It's very slow to backup and store information. It has two consoles and an application which are more difficult to use than a solution like Veeam."
