We performed a comparison between Dell Avamar and Reduxio [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The deduplication feature is the best aspect of the solution."
"Scheduling is valuable. It does a good job of backing up, and it does a good job of restoring. Nobody has got a problem with that. The agents are well supported."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Data Domain and your VM stacks."
"Dell EMC Avamar is easy to work with and is user-friendly."
"The stability of Dell EMC Avamar is very good."
"The performance of Dell EMC Avamar is good."
"So far, Avamar covers everything we want. We are replicating to other sites for disaster recovery, so it's working well for us."
"The installation process is pretty straightforward."
"I have an every second undo button for all my applications. I call Reduxio "the ransomware killer"."
"In the event of a deletion, corruption, or ransomware, I am never going to lose more than one second of changes."
"Immediate data recovery: critical to business continuity in an age of unknown cyber threats."
"It's very intuitive, has a very modern interface. Instead of making the user set up a million parameters for things that the system knows better anyway, they put all the intelligence in the product and made the controls much easier."
"Automated tiering and inline data deduplication."
"The Reduxio box has improved our resiliency and management overhead."
"The HTML5 UI is clean, easy to navigate, and very intuitive."
"We are able to recover to the second, if needed, our data. This greatly improves restore capability, for example, if there is a cryptolocker outbreak or data loss."
"The client caches and deduplication system have a few problems."
"When we used the solution, it was still new, and so the customer service/technical support was not the best."
"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."
"Dell EMC Avamar is a very complex product. It took a lot of time for the IT admins to get trained on how to use it. It is not very user-friendly, and we won't be using Avamar anymore. It needs a lot of improvement in terms of how the backups have been configured, and the reporting is too complex."
"The challenges we do face typically revolve around aligning specific features with our accustomed tool usage."
"Setup and deployment of this solution is complex and requires expert engineers."
"Compared with Cohesity or Rubrik, which have some continuous data protection for backup and replication, this solution tends to lack in this area."
"There are limitations when trying to use this solution with Hyper-V."
"Integration is needed with other virtual vendors like VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V; that integration needs to be deeper, not just the way that they're using it now. I know that it's under development, but I think this is one of the disadvantages, for now, as a young company. They have to work with the other players on the market."
"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."
"The only critique that we have is it needs the ability to have local users added. You have to log in as one built-in admin account. You can't create your own."
"Scalability. Reduxio has only one product, they don’t have an option, for now, to expand the storage product."
"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
"We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable."
"The ability to look at data at a file level would be useful, as well as the ability recover at that level. Right now, you can only recover whole volumes."
"I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target."
