"It is a very good and easy-to-use tool for non-technical people."

More NovaStor NovaBACKUP Pros →

Cons
"The interface could be more helpful for people.""Performance can sometimes be affected when tools are utilized for tasks like backup or deep archiving.""Its ability to back up very large objects can be improved. In terms of new features, they can include the ability to use cloud services, like S3, more natively.""We don't trust the product 100 percent. Kaspersky has many features Dell Avamar doesn't support, such as granular backup and history.""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.""The solution, in the future, should offer support for mobile.""Backup image browse times should be faster.""It would be helpful if there was cloud support."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is very expensive. It's a trust based licensing. So that's an ethical challenge."
  • "This solution is less expensive than Veeam for us, although it depends on the customer because we get a great discount."
  • "I'm not sure, but perhaps the pricing could be done better at the moment."
  • "The price is the main thing I'd like to see them change. If they can come down in price, that would be a good thing. It's very cost competitive in the entry level range, because Veeam pricing is much cheaper than Avamar."
  • "It was approximately $70-80,000 when it was under support, but right now EMC has not been supporting this product for two years."
  • "Licensing was generally on a per VM or terabyte basis. They changed their licensing model a couple of times and turned it into socket-based licensing, which is an improvement in their licensing model."
  • "When it comes to competition the price is not what is important, it's not the problem."
  • "The price of this product should be lower."

  • "My company has to make yearly payments towards the solution's maintenance and support."
