"The source site replication feature is valuable."
"We are talking about a complete end-to-end solution which comes with its own hardware storage to back up the data on tape-less."
"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 performance of Dell EMC Avamar is good."
"The solution scales well."
"Stability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"It is an easy system to use. The support, if needed, is always willing to help."
"The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks."
"Backup/archive to multiple locations."
"The predictive analytics are great and the reporting is awesome."
"When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one."

"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"Comparing the features and the working pattern, definitely they have to come down on pricing if they want to compete in the market."
"Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing."
