"The setup is pretty straightforward."

"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."

"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"The initial setup is really straightforward."
"We've found the product to be stable."
"Dell EMC Avamar is very good with endpoint backups."
"The solution is very stable."
"Effective in protecting the virtualization system and end points."
"Dell Avamar has a push upgrade feature that lets you simultaneously push updates to thousands of clients. I also found the self-service part of Dell Avamar helpful."
"We have seen huge data reduction and data deduplication and compression, which is very cost-effective and cost-reducing for the company."
"The stability is okay."
"I think the brand is very good. Support is also very nice for end users and integration with EMC products for businesses."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"The stability could improve, a lot of scheduled backups failed at one time."
"The solution could improve by having better integration and more flexibility."
"What would make Dell Avamar better is if it can do faster backups because right now, PowerProtect Data Manager is better in this area with its new UI and a new way to implement backups. Customers nowadays also expect more up-to-date solutions, and this is another area for improvement in Dell Avamar. It's not as up-to-date, so I'm counting on PowerProtect Data Manager, but customers who have Dell Avamar don't want to switch because you don't have as many backup problems in Dell Avamar compared to other solutions. What I'd like to see in the next release of Dell Avamar is an updated UI and a different way to manage backups because currently, backup management is a bit heavy for customers using Dell Avamar."
"I want to see a more user-friendly and administrator-friendly Dell Avamar. The solution also needs a better UI and dashboard."
"The initial setup is a bit complex and could be simpler."
"The configuration and expansion aspects of the solution need improvement. They're complicated and don't really integrate well."
"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."
"When we used the solution, it was still new, and so the customer service/technical support was not the best."
