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."The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."
"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests."
"Dell Avamar has helped our organization by allowing us to do backups."
"It is a very complete product."
"The performance of Dell EMC Avamar is good."
"I have found the product to be scalable."
"Graphically, it's very user interactive. It's got a very nice interface."
"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."
"The most valuable features are scalability and integration."
"The installation process is pretty straightforward."
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"The solution could improve by having better integration and more flexibility."
"The client caches and deduplication system have a few problems."
"Dell EMC Avamar is a very complex product. It took a lot of time for the IT admins to get trained on how to use it. It is not very user-friendly, and we won't be using Avamar anymore. It needs a lot of improvement in terms of how the backups have been configured, and the reporting is too complex."
"It was challenging to back up our Exchange database, which is one of the reasons we did not continue using this solution."
"It's an expensive solution."
"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 reporting should be improved, as we currently have to use another tool for that purpose."
"The support is very bad."
