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 have a lot of backups, and this tool helps us with the RMAN Backup."
"Dell EMC Avamar is easy to work with and is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are image backups and file backups."
"Every product is good and bad, but its claim to fame is that it is scalable. We're doing more than 3,000 VMs. Every single night a complete image backup to disks and replication are easily done in under four hours."
"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."
"I think the brand is very good. Support is also very nice for end users and integration with EMC products for businesses."
"Avamar's source side deduplication is very strong, it can easily back up remote sites' data, and not much bandwidth is required on the Avamar side."
"We've found the product to be stable."
"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."
"The product could offer more integration capabilities."
"Dell hasn't done a good job at handling these upgrades, or the way EMC used to handle them."
"We have had a lot of problems with the Dell EMC Avamar solution. The snapshots are not being erased after backup."
"The user interface still needs to have some level of improvement. It could be more user-friendly and intuitive."
"Some customers need to back up to tape, but Avamar lacks support, so it costs a lot."
"The stability could improve, a lot of scheduled backups failed at one time."
"It would be helpful if the product offered more integration potential."
"The management of this solution is a little bit difficult for IT administrators. They have to be trained before going through the system."
"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."
"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."
