We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Dell Avamar based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"The most valuable feature is the duplication."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is the initiative UI and the logs are clear and detailed that are generated when there has been an issue or failure on the user's system. We only have to log onto the client's system to retrieve the information. It is possible to precisely identify the problem's location. The system categorizes and logs every step in a structured manner, selectively displaying only the essential logs. However, to view a comprehensive log, one must access the line machine log and examine the actual client for detailed logging."
"The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"I like the tool's speed."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"We used Dell Avamar for backup and recovery of a virtual environment."
"Effective in protecting the virtualization system and end points."
"The performance of Dell EMC Avamar is good."
"We've been using this solution to backup our servers. It is a simple backup and restore data application."
"The data reduction feature and the ease of enabling a server in a DR location are the most valuable."
"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."
"Every product is good and bad, but its claim to fame is that it is scalable. We're doing more than 3,000 VMs. Every single night a complete image backup to disks and replication are easily done in under four hours."
"They are extremely reliable and scalable — they provide the best de-duplication on the market."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"One of the biggest drawbacks of Arcserve UDP is that it does not have a single console, making it an area that needs to be considered for improvement."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"Avamar is not the best tool when it comes to taking Azure backups. Like Commvault, if Avamar can support VM-level backups for the cloud, that would make it a bit better."
"Performance can sometimes be affected when tools are utilized for tasks like backup or deep archiving."
"Technical support should be more knowledgeable."
"The solution, in the future, should offer support for mobile."
"More integration would be helpful, as well as the addition of more applications."
"The product could offer more integration capabilities."
"Desktop-laptop backups and backup over the WAN needs lot of improvisation. For DTLT there must be a provision to push agents from the management console."
"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."
