"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"Dell Avamar could improve by adding more backup features."
"The solution is not very strong on the Cloud. They should work out how they can use this as a backup as a service."
"When you get down to doing certain things, such as somebody wants a particular file restored, the process by which you do that is stupid. You kind of have to know exactly where to look for in order to find it. Even on older backup products that I've used, I didn't have that kind of problem. If we were looking for a file with a particular kind of a name, the solution would find that file anywhere irrespective of where it resides within the backup system. So, we didn't have to know the name of the specific server, the specific timeframe, almost all the characters of the file name, and all kinds of data in order to find a file. In Avamar, we got to know these details. We've gone around and around with them on that, and their attitude seems to be that it is working just fine. There is nothing for them to improve. The organizational system of other products that I'm working with, such as Zerto and Cohesity, seems to be centered around the tasks that you would most commonly do and want to do, as opposed to we've laid it out in a really neat technical hierarchy."
"There also needs to be single sign-on support."
"The reporting should be improved, as we currently have to use another tool for that purpose."
"The management of this solution is a little bit difficult for IT administrators. They have to be trained before going through the system."
"EMC has discontinued their Avamar hardware version. They only advertise the Avamar virtual edition."
"More integration would be helpful, as well as the addition of more applications."
"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
