"The backup and recovery speed is very fast."
"Scheduling is valuable. It does a good job of backing up, and it does a good job of restoring. Nobody has got a problem with that. The agents are well supported."
"We've found the product to be stable."
"I think the brand is very good. Support is also very nice for end users and integration with EMC products for businesses."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Data Domain and your VM stacks."
"So far, Avamar covers everything we want. We are replicating to other sites for disaster recovery, so it's working well for us."
"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."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"The backup is very secure. The deduplication using EMC is very good. We are able to make systems and handle random cloning. EMC is a very stable solution for making backups."
"It's very competitive in terms of the price and technology. Also, the development team continuously makes updates. The data reduction feature is very useful."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"It would be helpful if there was cloud support."
"This solution could improve by introducing daily verifications and another repository."
"Dell Avamar could improve by adding more backup features."
"It lacks support for certain plugins, like SAP HANA, for example."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications and platforms."
"I think they could also move more towards cloud solutions. It already has some cloud tiering, but I think that could be more extensive. They should work with all cloud providers and I think in the future they will be on all cloud platforms."
"It was challenging to back up our Exchange database, which is one of the reasons we did not continue using this solution."
"Avamar needs a greater emphasis on storage targets. If it's going to keep pace with the times, it needs more ability to leverage cloud storage."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"They're scalable."
"When you use Data Domain, you have to have at least 20% free space so it can work properly. Sometimes we struggle with that, because we wanted to use all the free space, but then Data Domain becomes really slow. I understand that 20% is needed to process all the data, and doing the duplication and compression and all that, but it would be a big improvement if they did not require that 20%, because it is just too much to have available."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"They need to make migration easier."
"Technical support needs improvement."
