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 product has a proven track record of good backups without much of a failure ratio. It also has a good backup in terms of the compression ratio."
"The tool's most valuable features are backup management and speed."
"I have found the product to be scalable."
"The backup and recovery speed is very fast."
"Dell EMC Avamar is easy to work with and is user-friendly."
"Graphically, it's very user interactive. It's got a very nice interface."
"I like Dell EMC Avamar's compression of data."
"For the on-prem backup, it has all the necessary features that we require. They keep coming up with new scripts and new updates."
"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."
"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."
"Dell hasn't done a good job at handling these upgrades, or the way EMC used to handle them."
"It lacks support for certain plugins, like SAP HANA, for example."
"The solution should improve its tape-connectivity features."
"It was challenging to back up our Exchange database, which is one of the reasons we did not continue using this solution."
"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."
"We have had a lot of problems with the Dell EMC Avamar solution. The snapshots are not being erased after backup."
"If you don't have DPA, the reporting features are not as user-friendly, so reporting is something that they can improve on."
"The client caches and deduplication system have a few problems."
"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."
"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."
