We performed a comparison between Dell Avamar, Rubrik, and SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Avamar has long been the best in its class, but that's changing as new solutions emerge. However, Dell has traditionally been a leader in deduplication and compression. Avamar enabled us to shift data from on-premise local appliances to data centers and multi-tenant infrastructure. That's a powerful feature. because customers can back up to the cloud without upgrading o high-capacity links or congesting their backups."
"Dell EMC Avamar has many valuable features. It's very stable and it's easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature of Avamar would have to be the way it works over needing very little bandwidth to move data across a WAN or LAN."
"Avamar's source side deduplication is very strong, it can easily back up remote sites' data, and not much bandwidth is required on the Avamar side."
"They are extremely reliable and scalable — they provide the best de-duplication on the market."
"It's simple to configure."
"I have found the product to be scalable."
"The data reduction feature and the ease of enabling a server in a DR location are the most valuable."
"This is a centralized tool where we are able to schedule backups and perform monitoring."
"Features we have requested are typically added to the next product release."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"Rubrik is cheap, and you get good performance."
"Its reporting is most valuable. I like how it reports that everything is successfully backed up. It provides a summarized report that I can give to auditors and management."
"In the event of any issues or questions, the support is top-notch. We rarely need to use support, but when they are needed, they are always quick to respond and very knowledgeable."
"Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"If there is a need to move the data from one backup solution to another, it might be difficult since there is no option for a straightforward migration."
"The solution, in the future, should offer support for mobile."
"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."
"The recovery is a bit slow."
"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."
"Backup image browse times should be faster."
"The user interface still needs to have some level of improvement. It could be more user-friendly and intuitive."
"The stability could improve, a lot of scheduled backups failed at one time."
"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"Rubrik can only leverage cloud storage for archiving and has no cloud failover."
"User interface could be improved."
"I would like to have a built-in index searching ability of files/system files within the Rubrik interface to determine if a file or item exists, rather than just recovering it, and then doing a search for the file afterwards."
"We would like to be able to do granular restores directly from Exchange. Also, more granular management of VM backups would help."
"They should give more access to the backend capabilities. From a customer point of view, you do not have access to all the features on the system. You have to engage their support to perform some of the tasks. It would be helpful for an experienced engineer to be able to go and do some of those tasks prior to contacting the support."
"The solution could always be more easily scalable."
