"The tool's most valuable feature is recovery."
"It is easy to use and the performance is good."

"It has been our go-to product for backup."
"The standout feature is its connectivity and robust support. They are easily easy to get hold of, making it convenient for us."
"I can confidently say that I have managed more than 30 or 50 appliances over different time periods, and yet I never had a single hardware failure."
"We find the pricing is reasonable."
"I want to see a more user-friendly and administrator-friendly Dell Avamar. The solution also needs a better UI and dashboard."
"If you don't have DPA, the reporting features are not as user-friendly, so reporting is something that they can improve on."
"The product could be improved by simplifying the components available."
"It's not the best solution for big databases."
"I have found the support from Dell EMC Avamar to be not as good as Veeam. The time it takes to receive support could be improved. However, once we have the support the agents are knowledgeable and helpful."
"Avamar cannot back up Nutanix as a virtual solution."
"A benefit would be support for either Azure Cool Storage or AWS Glacier."
"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 response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk."
"The configuration can sometimes be tricky during implementation."
"Veritas NetBackup would benefit from better explained error codes."
"It could be better integrated with other platforms."
"NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower."
"The product must improve its recovery features."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration and security."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance needs to improve its security. It needs to ensure that it is 100 percent protected against cyberattacks."
