Dell Avamar Customer Service and Support
I've never contacted the technical support team for Dell Avamar. I only contacted Dell support for another product, and I would rate the team four out of five.
View full review » We regularly contact Dell for remote technical support and to replace hardware in our data centers or customer sites. We're Dell Titanium partners, so we get top-tier support.

Dell EMC support used to be outstanding, but lately, they seem to have dropped the focus, I've noticed. In the past year, the support hasn't been quite the same. I think they're focusing more on other products. In my opinion, they're not giving the same level of focus in terms of support and development to the Avamar-type products.

I rarely contact Dell EMC technical support.
But when I do, they are very good, very responsive. They get back to you in 10 to 20 minutes and resolve the issue. They are very much a steady provider.
View full review »In certain scenarios, the support for this solution has been good. Often, the team take too long to resolve issues.
Dell's support is excellent - if any issues occur, we open the case, and the maintenance gets done. The only problem is that sometimes they can be slow to respond.

I have interacted with them several times. We've had problems where we've got to have their help. They're average. It takes a while to get to the guy who knows what he's doing, but they've got support 24/7. You can call anytime day or night. So, they're average or a little better.
View full review »The support was very good when Avamar was handled by EMC. Since Dell acquired EMC, the support has been very bad.
View full review »While I don't deal with technical support, the feedback from our deployment team is that they are pretty good.
View full review »I'd rate their L1 support a three out of ten. Their L2 and L3 support is good, but in the case of L1 support, for everything they have a single copy-paste response. It's like talking to a chatbot. They should improve that. Even though they're L1, they should try to understand the issue rather than just going through the SOP. There should be some SLA for L1 so that if they are not sure, they should directly transfer to L2 support rather than spending time on it. If you are stuck in a critical issue, it's painful to wait and let three or four hours pass before being transferred to L2.

We have two techs here, however, in a year, if you calculate 365 days in a year, we've hardly had one or two times where we needed support. The product is very stable.
The support is not good at all. It really needs to be better. When you actually need help, they are very poor at assisting.

We have an annual subscription for support, so we contact them for upgrades and stuff like that. There is some inconsistency. Some of the support engineers are experienced, but others are new. It sometimes takes time at the first level of support, but all our issues get solved in the end.

Their technical support is excellent. We've never had any problem dealing with Avamar in terms of technical support. We've had some nasty instances too where they've not been able to drill down on things and support their own product.

We experienced a problem with the network backup installation, so we called technical support. One of the backups failed continuously.
We were not exactly satisfied with the turnaround time. It was an issue that was unique for them to resolve, but we were not able to assistance instantly.
The support could be better.

We've used technical support quite a bit and have always been satisfied with the level of support that they've provided to us. They're very helpful and responsive.
View full review »Like any other company, many of the support calls go to places on the other side of the world. It is sometimes difficult to understand them. I found that the support that was given was very good. I usually choose to receive support via Webex and email due to the communication challenges you get with offshore support.

Dell EMC is pretty good in terms of customer support. We use our own team for maintenance.
The support from Dell is exceptionally great. They offer support for almost all of the products on the market — all of the main operating systems, applications, databases, everything. That's a big plus for them.

Technical support has been good, occasionally there are issues with the accents so a lot of times it's better with a chat session or typing messages versus a call. It's a very formalized process. It's virtualized now. So it's a little different than the old two physical boxes.

With respect to technical support, sometimes you get a good technician or a good engineer, and you can get the problem resolved pretty fast. If on the other hand, you get someone with a very heavy accent then you can speak for three hours and not understand what the other is trying to say.

Expert IT Infrastructure and Systems at ITGSTORE CONSULTING
Dell EMC Avamar is hard to manage because of the support. It’s very difficult to get support. Our solution is complex which makes it more difficult to get an answer from them. We have multiple vendors in our environment. Support only looks at their own solution and not the solution as a whole. It would be easier if our whole infrastructure was Dell EMC. It’s very difficult to get help with troubleshooting. When you have an architecturally multiple-vendor solution, like we do, it’s hard to find a solution to the problem. It’s normal that they only focus on the part that corresponds to their company, but I would like for them to look at the environment as a whole.

I would not rate technical support high for this solution. We had a problem and nobody could be specific about the issue, or what it is that we needed to do in order to resolve it.
Technical support could not resolve the issue that we had in terms of integrating with tape.

Customer support begins with a phone call depending on the level of support. It is often 24 hours or the hourly rate. The support line is open but they ask if you bought the support or not.
Usually, they know the product the best and can solve the problem between two to four hours. If the problem is because of another software or hardware, it might take two days to solve.
