Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It was very simple to deploy the solution to the client that you wanted to backup."
"For the on-prem backup, it has all the necessary features that we require. They keep coming up with new scripts and new updates."
"So far, Avamar covers everything we want. We are replicating to other sites for disaster recovery, so it's working well for us."
"The setup is very easy."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The entire system operates seamlessly, with minimal hands-on involvement, allowing us to focus on monitoring rather than constant adjustments or deployments, as seen in larger, more dynamic environments."
"The solution is easy to use and has high performance."
"The solution is very stable."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Dell Avamar could improve by adding more backup features."
"Dell hasn't done a good job at handling these upgrades, or the way EMC used to handle them."
"The product could offer more integration capabilities."
"The challenges we do face typically revolve around aligning specific features with our accustomed tool usage."
"Avamar is still competitive because of the way we have deployed it, but we need to diversify and shift away from specific technologies. In addition to hypervisors, virtual machines, and bare metal servers, our customers need protection for Microsoft 365, SaaS, and the public cloud, so we need other technologies in the business to cater to those customers' needs. Those are the enhancements we would want from the Avamar platform, but that's not likely to happen. Dell has PowerProtect and Apex backup services. There are other Dell solutions that we'll use to fulfill our customers' requirements."
"Compared with Cohesity or Rubrik, which have some continuous data protection for backup and replication, this solution tends to lack in this area."
"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."
"I have found the support from Dell EMC Avamar to be not as good as Veeam. The time it takes to receive support could be improved. However, once we have the support the agents are knowledgeable and helpful."
"The solution could always be more easily scalable."
