We performed a comparison between AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery 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."Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests."
"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."
"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"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."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"Easy to configure and highly reliable for backup."
"The installation of the solution is easy."
"The most valuable features are scalability and integration."
"It's simple to configure."
"It's a good solution."
"They are extremely reliable and scalable — they provide the best de-duplication on the market."
"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."
"Duplication and the speed of backup are great."
"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. "
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"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 product could be improved by simplifying the components available."
"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."
"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."
"Its ability to back up very large objects can be improved. In terms of new features, they can include the ability to use cloud services, like S3, more natively."
"The user interface still needs to have some level of improvement. It could be more user-friendly and intuitive."
"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."
"There also needs to be single sign-on support."
"The initial setup is a bit complex and could be simpler."
