Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Its big data and archive data features are the features that I have found most valuable. I can use it in a big virtual environment."
"It's very regimented and fast. It does local backup, cloud backup, long-term coverage, and disaster recovery."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Data Domain and your VM stacks."
"The performance of Dell EMC Avamar is good."
"The tool's most valuable features are backup management and speed."
"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."
"The solution is very stable."
"I think the brand is very good. Support is also very nice for end users and integration with EMC products for businesses."
"It's simple to configure."
"It is a very complete product."
"The limitation that I see in Cohesity is that the minimum sized node is 36 terabytes, which is more than a small customer needs."
"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."
"EMC has discontinued their Avamar hardware version. They only advertise the Avamar virtual edition."
"Avamar is still competitive because of the way we have deployed it, but we need to diversify and shift away from specific technologies. In addition to hypervisors, virtual machines, and bare metal servers, our customers need protection for Microsoft 365, SaaS, and the public cloud, so we need other technologies in the business to cater to those customers' needs. Those are the enhancements we would want from the Avamar platform, but that's not likely to happen. Dell has PowerProtect and Apex backup services. There are other Dell solutions that we'll use to fulfill our customers' requirements."
"It would be helpful if the product offered more integration potential."
"The configuration and expansion aspects of the solution need improvement. They're complicated and don't really integrate well."
"Avamar is not the best tool when it comes to taking Azure backups. Like Commvault, if Avamar can support VM-level backups for the cloud, that would make it a bit better."
"Interfaces need to be improved."
"The reporting should be improved, as we currently have to use another tool for that purpose."
"This solution could improve by introducing daily verifications and another repository."
