Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The fast backup and recovery and the Full Backup features are valuable."
"The data reduction feature and the ease of enabling a server in a DR location are the most valuable."

"All the features in the system are highly valuable."
"Dell Avamar has helped our organization by allowing us to do backups."
"Its stability and deduplication capabilities are most valuable."
"The most valuable features are scalability and integration."
"Dell EMC Avamar is very good with endpoint backups."
"The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."
"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."
"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."
"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."
"The most valuable feature for me is that I can see what has has been successfully backed up and what not. I do not mean the file or folder view, because that's problematic with GDPR, but I mean which machines have successfully backed up. It's very valuable because you don't have to check the machines. The second feature is that you can change backup settings in the portal."
"The solution is simple to use and easy to configure."
"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."
"Technical support is very good."
"The UI is not easy to use. There are other products such as Veeam that are easy to use for the end-user which is why they are moving away from Avamar or Networker."
"It's an expensive solution."
"Some integrations are not in place, such as the email alerts, which are not compatible with Office 365 SMTP gateway."
"Dell hasn't done a good job at handling these upgrades, or the way EMC used to handle them."
"It's very slow to backup and store information. It has two consoles and an application which are more difficult to use than a solution like Veeam."
"It would be helpful if the product offered more integration potential."
"EMC has discontinued their Avamar hardware version. They only advertise the Avamar virtual edition."
"Avamar needs a greater emphasis on storage targets. If it's going to keep pace with the times, it needs more ability to leverage cloud storage."
"The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on."
"There are some things that we don't like about it. That is why I was exploring alternatives in a hyper-scale environment. That is why I was checking IT Central Station."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"The solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now. They could give it a little more modern feel."
"The product could be more user-friendly."
"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."
"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
