We performed a comparison between Dell Avamar and NetApp AltaVault 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."The stability is okay."
"The fast backup and recovery and the Full Backup features are valuable."
"The setup is very easy."
"The stability of Dell EMC Avamar is very good."
"Dell EMC Avamar is very good with endpoint backups."
"I like Dell EMC Avamar's compression of data."
"It works quickly and is very stable."
"The installation of the solution is easy."
"The flexibility. Being able to virtualize it, port it wherever I like, test my backups, test my DR capabilities whenever I like without impacting anybody."
"The deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"Most importantly is having that island into that datacenter, and being able to address things in the same console. Thus, it is irrelevant where it's stored."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"It's so easy to work with."
"It's pretty simple. Once you set it, it goes; and then the idea of being able to get it to the cloud very quickly. It's kind of a set-it-forget-it."
"Dell Avamar could improve by adding more backup features."
"It would be helpful if there was cloud support."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications and platforms."
"Dell hasn't done a good job at handling these upgrades, or the way EMC used to handle them."
"When we used the solution, it was still new, and so the customer service/technical support was not the best."
"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."
"Avamar cannot back up Nutanix as a virtual solution."
"More integration would be helpful, as well as the addition of more applications."
"I would like to see more web support."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"It would be nice if the solution was more complete. Many customers are looking for a single solution or silo that they can manage everything from. It would be nice, instead of having different products, if everything a client needed was in one solution."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
