Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."So far, Avamar covers everything we want. We are replicating to other sites for disaster recovery, so it's working well for us."
"The fast backup and recovery and the Full Backup features are valuable."
"What I found valuable in Dell Avamar is the deduplication feature. I also like that the solution can be integrated with Data Domain."
"The tool's most valuable features are backup management and speed."
"We have seen huge data reduction and data deduplication and compression, which is very cost-effective and cost-reducing for the company."
"It is a very complete product."
"It's a good solution."
"Centralization is Avamar's biggest advantage. It moves data to a central location from various geographical locations."
"Essentially, it replaced our tape backups."
"It is very scalable, and that's its claim to fame, but that also makes it hard to make changes. Anytime there is a large piece of software, changing that piece of software is harder. You've got a larger install base, so you can't just rapidly change. We also use another product called Veeam, and it has this new feature called Continuous Data Protection, which basically lets you get very close to the way the system was in time. We have a system or two up there on which we have set 10 minutes Continuous Data Protection. So, we can roll it back to whatever it was 10 minutes ago, 20 minutes ago, or 30 minutes ago. This feature doesn't exist in Avamar Data Domain. That's the one feature I'd like to see first."
"The performance takes up a lot of resources, unfortunately."
"When we used the solution, it was still new, and so the customer service/technical support was not the best."
"In my opinion, the user interface and the user friendliness could be improved. The specific thing I have in mind are the graphics, which are not quite user-friendly."
"The reporting should be improved, as we currently have to use another tool for that purpose."
"The challenges we do face typically revolve around aligning specific features with our accustomed tool usage."
"Some integrations are not in place, such as the email alerts, which are not compatible with Office 365 SMTP gateway."
"The solution used to freeze sometimes while taking a snapshot backup."
"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."
