Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup is easy.""Dell EMC Avamar has many valuable features. It's very stable and it's easy to manage.""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.""The installation process is pretty straightforward.""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.""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 source site replication feature is valuable.""Its deduplication technologies are the best in the market, currently."

Cons
"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.""This solution could improve by introducing daily verifications and another repository.""Some customers need to back up to tape, but Avamar lacks support, so it costs a lot.""Dell Avamar could improve by adding more backup features.""It lacks support for certain plugins, like SAP HANA, for example.""The performance takes up a lot of resources, unfortunately.""I want to see a more user-friendly and administrator-friendly Dell Avamar. The solution also needs a better UI and dashboard.""The product could be improved by simplifying the components available."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is very expensive. It's a trust based licensing. So that's an ethical challenge."
  • "This solution is less expensive than Veeam for us, although it depends on the customer because we get a great discount."
  • "I'm not sure, but perhaps the pricing could be done better at the moment."
  • "The price is the main thing I'd like to see them change. If they can come down in price, that would be a good thing. It's very cost competitive in the entry level range, because Veeam pricing is much cheaper than Avamar."
  • "It was approximately $70-80,000 when it was under support, but right now EMC has not been supporting this product for two years."
  • "Licensing was generally on a per VM or terabyte basis. They changed their licensing model a couple of times and turned it into socket-based licensing, which is an improvement in their licensing model."
  • "When it comes to competition the price is not what is important, it's not the problem."
  • "The price of this product should be lower."
