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."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."
"We used Dell Avamar for backup and recovery of a virtual environment."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual backup."
"The most valuable feature of Avamar would have to be the way it works over needing very little bandwidth to move data across a WAN or LAN."
"Dell EMC Avamar is very good with endpoint backups."
"We sell Avamar with Data Domain. Data Domain and Avamar work really well together and their compression ratios are very high compared to Veeam, Commvault, and all the other backup software on the market."
"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."
"I have found the product to be scalable."
"It is an easy system to use. The support, if needed, is always willing to help."
"What I found most valuable in Unitrends is its simple user interface. It also works reliably."
"Stability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Unitrends for me is the automated feedback"
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"If you are a large organization, this is a product for you."
"The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks."
"The predictive analytics are great and the reporting is awesome."
"We don't trust the product 100 percent. Kaspersky has many features Dell Avamar doesn't support, such as granular backup and history."
"Setup and deployment of this solution is complex and requires expert engineers."
"Some integrations are not in place, such as the email alerts, which are not compatible with Office 365 SMTP gateway."
"The recovery is a bit slow."
"What would make Dell Avamar better is if it can do faster backups because right now, PowerProtect Data Manager is better in this area with its new UI and a new way to implement backups. Customers nowadays also expect more up-to-date solutions, and this is another area for improvement in Dell Avamar. It's not as up-to-date, so I'm counting on PowerProtect Data Manager, but customers who have Dell Avamar don't want to switch because you don't have as many backup problems in Dell Avamar compared to other solutions. What I'd like to see in the next release of Dell Avamar is an updated UI and a different way to manage backups because currently, backup management is a bit heavy for customers using Dell Avamar."
"In my opinion, the user interface and the user friendliness could be improved. The specific thing I have in mind are the graphics, which are not quite user-friendly."
"The client caches and deduplication system have a few problems."
"Compared with Cohesity or Rubrik, which have some continuous data protection for backup and replication, this solution tends to lack in this area."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"Unitrends can be challenging to scale."
"The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
"No appliance update notifications."
"I would like to see more storage options for the free version."
"Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution."
"The solution's base operating system needs to be improved."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
