"Some customers need to back up to tape, but Avamar lacks support, so it costs a lot."
"What would make Dell Avamar better is if it can do faster backups because right now, PowerProtect Data Manager is better in this area with its new UI and a new way to implement backups. Customers nowadays also expect more up-to-date solutions, and this is another area for improvement in Dell Avamar. It's not as up-to-date, so I'm counting on PowerProtect Data Manager, but customers who have Dell Avamar don't want to switch because you don't have as many backup problems in Dell Avamar compared to other solutions. What I'd like to see in the next release of Dell Avamar is an updated UI and a different way to manage backups because currently, backup management is a bit heavy for customers using Dell Avamar."
"We can't use tape for primary storage on Veeam."
"If they could let you can do replication to physical servers - a backup from physical servers and a replication to physical servers - that will be better."

"A lower price would always be beneficial."
"There are not many options available for AIX backup. They provide the agent for AIX, but it could be more mature."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows could improve."
"The backups can go slow."
"I've found a lot of difficulties on the initial setup and especially in terms of credentials. We really need a Window OS. It doesn't like the domain admin account. it's a primary permission issue."
