"The solution has been very stable."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"They are extremely reliable and scalable — they provide the best de-duplication on the market."
"The product is good for backups."
"Dell Avamar has helped our organization by allowing us to do backups."
"Client deduplication."
"Effective in protecting the virtualization system and end points."
"So far, Avamar covers everything we want. We are replicating to other sites for disaster recovery, so it's working well for us."
"It works quickly and is very stable."
"We've been using this solution to backup our servers. It is a simple backup and restore data application."
"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 support is very bad."
"The solution used to freeze sometimes while taking a snapshot backup."
"The performance takes up a lot of resources, unfortunately."
"Some customers need to back up to tape, but Avamar lacks support, so it costs a lot."
"The initial setup is a bit complex and could be simpler."
"We'd like to see something that could also work with Unix servers and physical servers to have a unified solution that works with everything."
"If you don't have DPA, the reporting features are not as user-friendly, so reporting is something that they can improve on."
