Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates."
"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."
"It is very reliable, so we don't have any issues with it. Our customers have never raised any issue with it. Basically, once you set it up and it is running, it is trouble-free. Our customers are happy. They just got a renewal for the subscription for the service."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."
"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."
"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
"It's simple to configure."
"The product has a proven track record of good backups without much of a failure ratio. It also has a good backup in terms of the compression ratio."
"It is one of the best solutions for backing up Oracle and other servers."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"Its deduplication technologies are the best in the market, currently."
"The source site replication feature is valuable."
"Dell Avamar has helped our organization by allowing us to do backups."
"Dell EMC Avamar is very good with endpoint backups."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."
"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."
"We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."
"I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It's not as good as it could be."
"It's not the best solution for big databases."
"The client caches and deduplication system have a few problems."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having better integration and more flexibility."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The licensing model is not very flexible. Every time we upgrade our storage size, we need to upgrade the Avamar license."
"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."
