Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Centralization is Avamar's biggest advantage. It moves data to a central location from various geographical locations."
"Duplication and the speed of backup are great."
"Client deduplication."
"Avamar's source side deduplication is very strong, it can easily back up remote sites' data, and not much bandwidth is required on the Avamar side."
"Dell EMC Avamar is easy to work with and is user-friendly."
"The backup is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very reliable."
"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."
"So far, Avamar covers everything we want. We are replicating to other sites for disaster recovery, so it's working well for us."
"The most valuable feature is application availability, which allows us to monitor all agents and accounts."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"This is a good product with a simple environment."
"The solution is useful for taking backups for end-user laptops and end-user workstations where data is involved."
"To do the actual backup configuration is also not too bad."
"The solution is meeting all of our client's requirements. It has good performance."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows are the backups, ease of use, and report manager."
"The initial setup, if it is error-free, is very simple."
"The user interface still needs to have some level of improvement. It could be more user-friendly and intuitive."
"We'd like to see something that could also work with Unix servers and physical servers to have a unified solution that works with everything."
"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."
"More integration would be helpful, as well as the addition of more applications."
"Avamar cannot back up Nutanix as a virtual solution."
"Avamar needs a greater emphasis on storage targets. If it's going to keep pace with the times, it needs more ability to leverage cloud storage."
"We have had a lot of problems with the Dell EMC Avamar solution. The snapshots are not being erased after backup."
"Dell Avamar could improve by adding more backup features."
"They should improve the solution's automation features."
"The compression ratio and application ratio could still be improved in this solution. Reporting could also be improved, for better monitoring."
"The solution's compression ratio and high speed for backing up can always improve. Aspects that need improvement are less time, better quality, higher security, and more compression. These are continuous requirements for any customer."
"The support could be improved a lot, as it is currently non-existent."
"The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete."
"If you are doing an AIX backup then you have to use the CLI because it doesn't appear on the console, the way that Windows and Linux jobs do."
"I would like there to be more integration with other platforms."
"I can't think of anything that may be missing."
