"Graphically, it's very user interactive. It's got a very nice interface.""Effective in protecting the virtualization system and end points.""We love the instant recovery functionality. It's very useful.""We have a lot of backups, and this tool helps us with the RMAN Backup.""The entire system operates seamlessly, with minimal hands-on involvement, allowing us to focus on monitoring rather than constant adjustments or deployments, as seen in larger, more dynamic environments.""The installation of the solution is easy.""We are talking about a complete end-to-end solution which comes with its own hardware storage to back up the data on tape-less.""We've been using this solution to backup our servers. It is a simple backup and restore data application."

Cons
"I think the solution itself keeps up with everything else. Sometimes it would be nice if they could move a little bit quicker and have faster updates, but in terms of the features, it's absolutely fine and adequate.""We need more options for the backup schedule.""The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems.""The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."

"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.""Compared with Cohesity or Rubrik, which have some continuous data protection for backup and replication, this solution tends to lack in this area.""Setting up Avamar wasn't so easy, and we had a partner doing the installation for us. Though it was hard at first, it's getting better. The main difficulty was finding plugins for Oracle Database. It took some time to open a ticket with Dell, but everything was fine after that.""Dell hasn't done a good job at handling these upgrades, or the way EMC used to handle them.""The recovery is a bit slow.""What would make Dell Avamar better is if it can do faster backups because right now, PowerProtect Data Manager is better in this area with its new UI and a new way to implement backups. Customers nowadays also expect more up-to-date solutions, and this is another area for improvement in Dell Avamar. It's not as up-to-date, so I'm counting on PowerProtect Data Manager, but customers who have Dell Avamar don't want to switch because you don't have as many backup problems in Dell Avamar compared to other solutions. What I'd like to see in the next release of Dell Avamar is an updated UI and a different way to manage backups because currently, backup management is a bit heavy for customers using Dell Avamar.""Setup and deployment of this solution is complex and requires expert engineers.""In my opinion, the user interface and the user friendliness could be improved. The specific thing I have in mind are the graphics, which are not quite user-friendly."

  • "Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
  • "The solution’s pricing is expensive."

  • "It is very expensive. It's a trust based licensing. So that's an ethical challenge."
  • "This solution is less expensive than Veeam for us, although it depends on the customer because we get a great discount."
  • "I'm not sure, but perhaps the pricing could be done better at the moment."
  • "The price is the main thing I'd like to see them change. If they can come down in price, that would be a good thing. It's very cost competitive in the entry level range, because Veeam pricing is much cheaper than Avamar."
  • "It was approximately $70-80,000 when it was under support, but right now EMC has not been supporting this product for two years."
  • "Licensing was generally on a per VM or terabyte basis. They changed their licensing model a couple of times and turned it into socket-based licensing, which is an improvement in their licensing model."
  • "When it comes to competition the price is not what is important, it's not the problem."
  • "The price of this product should be lower."
