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."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"The solution has been very stable."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"Centralization is Avamar's biggest advantage. It moves data to a central location from various geographical locations."
"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."
"The data reduction feature and the ease of enabling a server in a DR location are the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature for me in Dell Avamar is the automation, which is good for completion."
"The backup and recovery speed is very fast."
"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 performance of Dell EMC Avamar is good."
"The product is good for backups."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"Compared with Cohesity or Rubrik, which have some continuous data protection for backup and replication, this solution tends to lack in this area."
"We don't trust the product 100 percent. Kaspersky has many features Dell Avamar doesn't support, such as granular backup and history."
"When we used the solution, it was still new, and so the customer service/technical support was not the best."
"Dell Avamar could improve by adding more backup features."
"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."
"Avamar needs a greater emphasis on storage targets. If it's going to keep pace with the times, it needs more ability to leverage cloud storage."
"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."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications and platforms."
