IT Admin at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Offers good time navigation features and we haven't had stability problems in the twelve years we've been using it
The initial setup was supposed to be complex, and a guy from Atempto went to our site and they did it with us together. So, in the end, it was quite clear and straightforward. The deployment took one day. From time to time, we require maintenance. Most things can be done also automatically. We prefer to do some manually like recycling virtual cartridges. Two people are required for maintenance. Two people use it daily. Time Navigator runs daily, for some backups, even more, three, four times a day, for critical stuff. But for intervention, we have two, three per week.

Have supported critical environments despite room for improvement in legacy backup options
It is very efficient in cyber resilience. Deduplication, automation, and everything is very efficient. It is multi-cloud enabled and has broad protections. The software delivers flexible and efficient backup and recovery options through its cyber resiliency features. Dell PowerProtect Manager provides insights in managing backup processes. Its encryption mechanisms are very efficient, helping to secure sensitive data. Its integration with Dell EMC Data Domain is very good. It is easy to integrate with Data Domain. Multi-cloud options are enabled, and backup in cloud options exist in Dell Avamar.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"If you need anything, it's written in, and if you have problems, a development engineer is quite fast to fix it."
"The time navigation is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature for me in Dell Avamar is the automation, which is good for completion."
"I have found the product to be scalable."
"Its stability and deduplication capabilities are most valuable."
"The integration with host domains is very good."
"So far, Avamar covers everything we want, and we are replicating to other sites for disaster recovery, so it's working well for us."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The scalability of this solution is one of the best features."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual backup."
 

Cons

"They are working on the improvement we're looking for. The web GUI is flash-based and in around one or two months, they will put everything on HTML5."
"Stability has improved since we first started using it, but it still has a ways to go."
"The solution should improve its tape-connectivity features."
"We'd like to see something that could also work with Unix servers and physical servers to have a unified solution that works with everything."
"If there is a need to move the data from one backup solution to another, it might be difficult since there is no option for a straightforward migration."
"Performance can sometimes be affected when tools are utilized for tasks like backup or deep archiving."
"Avamar is a good product with a lot of potential, but if Dell isn't willing to put more effort into developing it, my advice would be to look elsewhere."
"A benefit would be support for either Azure Cool Storage or AWS Glacier."
"There are limitations when trying to use this solution with Hyper-V."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"On a scale of one to five, I would rate the pricing policy of Dell Avamar as five. The solution has a very good price, and a lot of improvements were done to it."
"It's a very high-end solution and comparable to Rubrik and Cohesity."
"The cost of the solution is very expensive."
"Regarding pricing, I would say Avamar is slightly expensive compared to its functionalities. It's not high-priced or low-priced but somewhere in between."
"It's an expensive tool"
"I rate the pricing a seven out of ten because it is expensive."

What needs improvement with Dell Avamar?
It is a very good product. My only concern is that there is no tape backup. For tape backup, we have to use Dell NetWorker. They could add more features for cyber resilience and multi-cloud options...
