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."Backup and recovery have been great, but I love having the ability to keep the hybrid type build which they offer."
"There are a couple of things. One of them is that they have what they call Incydr. Their detection and response solution to the insider threat area is called Incydr. That gives visibility to the clients that have widely dispersed employee bases due to work from home, or that had a dispersed workforce predating any of the work from home requirements. Even though they might not be inside the organization physically, they're inside the organization. It allows us to get some visibility into what people are doing, what the context is, and how to control what might be the potential for intellectual property theft or file exposure."
"It has quite a bit of flexibility in configuring backup sets."
"t has a very user friendly status bar with common errors and has logs built in to the console so we can review the issues or status of CrashPlan."
"It required very little ongoing maintenance once setup."
"The solution is very stable. Very rarely do we have any issues with it. We don't have to deal with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We find it to be reliable."
"Low system overhead, setting retention policies, ease of use"
"Works in the background and users are able to perform restores."
"Stable and scalable backup and recovery software, with good technical support."
"The stability of Dell EMC Avamar is very good."
"The most valuable features are image backups and file backups."
"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."
"The performance of Dell EMC Avamar is good."
"The source site replication feature is valuable."
"Centralization is Avamar's biggest advantage. It moves data to a central location from various geographical locations."
"You can't always filter out data that you'd like to."
"There doesn't seem to be any feature that is lacking."
"In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue."
"The application, written in Java, required far more system resources on a Client than other solutions."
"Reporting could use an overhaul. It is very limited."
"I think one we can improve is the compression."
"More security would be nice, I would love to be able to remotely brick a stolen laptop and it's hard disk drive (HDD)."
"Java, please get rid of Java."
"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."
"There also needs to be single sign-on support."
"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 needs to be improved. It's not as good as it could be."
"When we used the solution, it was still new, and so the customer service/technical support was not the best."
"A benefit would be support for either Azure Cool Storage or AWS Glacier."
"The solution could be a bit easier to use in the sense that they need to make it simpler to backup products and restore items."
"It would be helpful if there was cloud support."
