Have supported critical environments despite room for improvement in legacy backup options
It is very efficient in cyber resilience. Deduplication, automation, and everything is very efficient. It is multi-cloud enabled and has broad protections. The software delivers flexible and efficient backup and recovery options through its cyber resiliency features. Dell PowerProtect Manager provides insights in managing backup processes. Its encryption mechanisms are very efficient, helping to secure sensitive data. Its integration with Dell EMC Data Domain is very good. It is easy to integrate with Data Domain. Multi-cloud options are enabled, and backup in cloud options exist in Dell Avamar.

An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Pros

"The backup and recovery speed is very fast."

"The most valuable features are image backups and file backups."
"It's simple to configure."
"We love the instant recovery functionality. It's very useful."
"Client deduplication."
"The most valuable feature for me in Dell Avamar is the automation, which is good for completion."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."

"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
 

Cons

"I want to see a more user-friendly and administrator-friendly Dell Avamar. The solution also needs a better UI and dashboard."
"When we used the solution, it was still new, and so the customer service/technical support was not the best."
"The solution, in the future, should offer support for mobile."
"The management of this solution is a little bit difficult for IT administrators. They have to be trained before going through the system."
"The solution is not very strong on the Cloud. They should work out how they can use this as a backup as a service."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications and platforms."
"There are limitations when trying to use this solution with Hyper-V."
"It would be helpful if the product offered more integration potential."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"It could be cheaper."
"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing is weird. It is not just the licenses; we also purchase hardware. With most software products, such as Veeam, Commvault, and Data Protector, there is no hardware purchase at the same time. Because Avamar and Data Domain are tied together, they have an integrated pipe. You can separate them, but basically, they're designed to work as a couple. Because the Data Domain backend is designed to do dedupe and compression, we get 60:1. When you count it, you count it as a straight compression, but of course, that's with dedupe and some other stuff. You have to buy the hardware, the licensing, and the software at the same time. So, it's not just software."
"Licensing fees are paid annually."
"Dell Avamar is a moderately priced solution."
"I rate the tool's price as a three out of ten if one means expensive and ten means it is a cheaply priced tool."
"It is expensive. The maintenance comes with it for five years. So, you buy the whole thing for five years, and your maintenance is included with it, but it's a big chunk of change upfront. We like capital expenses because we can CapEx them. We pay once every five years, so we spend a big chunk of change. You'd have to divide that out by the five years to come up with how much it costs. It's just about three-quarters of a million dollars for five years."
"The solution is costly."
"It is expensive. Its cost is the main thing."
"It might not be beneficial to smaller businesses due to its high cost."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
