Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution’s scalability is good because its space is unlimited. We can start in Office365 with one terabyte bit of information and leverage through an enterprise solution of 1000 users."
"The most valuable feature for me in Dell Avamar is the automation, which is good for completion."
"The setup is very easy."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable features are backup management and speed."
"All the features in the system are highly valuable."
"It's stable and offers good performance."
"It's simple to configure."
"We've found the product to be stable."
"An improvement is required in reports and backups for sharing on Linux and Unix."
"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."
"The reporting should be improved, as we currently have to use another tool for that purpose."
"I have found the support from Dell EMC Avamar to be not as good as Veeam. The time it takes to receive support could be improved. However, once we have the support the agents are knowledgeable and helpful."
"Avamar is dependent on the hardware. It can't be implemented with ordinary storage. It can only be implemented with an EMC product. We want to have a backup solution that allows us to use independent storage and other hardware. It would be good if they can simplify its technology and make it possible to implement it with another storage. This is probably not possible because Avamar is an EMC product, and EMC would like to sell its own products."
"The management of this solution is a little bit difficult for IT administrators. They have to be trained before going through the system."
"If you need to pull data out of it to offload to tapes, that's messy. You have a mechanism for it, but it is painful."
"The support is very bad."
"More integration would be helpful, as well as the addition of more applications."
