"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"Dell EMC Avamar is easy to work with and is user-friendly."
"Dell Avamar has a push upgrade feature that lets you simultaneously push updates to thousands of clients. I also found the self-service part of Dell Avamar helpful."
"The product is good for backups."
"The stability of Dell EMC Avamar is very good."
"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."
"The backup is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very reliable."
"It's stable and offers good performance."
"It is one of the best solutions for backing up Oracle and other servers."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"It is very scalable, and that's its claim to fame, but that also makes it hard to make changes. Anytime there is a large piece of software, changing that piece of software is harder. You've got a larger install base, so you can't just rapidly change. We also use another product called Veeam, and it has this new feature called Continuous Data Protection, which basically lets you get very close to the way the system was in time. We have a system or two up there on which we have set 10 minutes Continuous Data Protection. So, we can roll it back to whatever it was 10 minutes ago, 20 minutes ago, or 30 minutes ago. This feature doesn't exist in Avamar Data Domain. That's the one feature I'd like to see first."
"The licensing model is not very flexible. Every time we upgrade our storage size, we need to upgrade the Avamar license."
"Dell EMC Avamar is a very complex product. It took a lot of time for the IT admins to get trained on how to use it. It is not very user-friendly, and we won't be using Avamar anymore. It needs a lot of improvement in terms of how the backups have been configured, and the reporting is too complex."
"It would be helpful if there was cloud support."
"Interfaces need to be improved."
"The solution is not very strong on the Cloud. They should work out how they can use this as a backup as a service."
"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."
"Dell hasn't done a good job at handling these upgrades, or the way EMC used to handle them."
