Reliable with good backups but has occasional failures
I use Dell Avamar primarily for backup and recovery The most valuable feature for me is the backup functionality. It gives large enterprises the comfort of knowing their workloads are being backed up. There are instances where backups fail on certain applications, which is an area that could be…
Ingvar  Ingason - PeerSpot reviewer
An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Stable and scalable backup and recovery software, with good technical support."
"The data reduction feature and the ease of enabling a server in a DR location are the most valuable."
"It's stable and offers good performance."
"It was very simple to deploy the solution to the client that you wanted to backup."
"It is a very complete product."
"Client deduplication."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The installation process is pretty straightforward."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"Desktop-laptop backups and backup over the WAN needs lot of improvisation. For DTLT there must be a provision to push agents from the management console."
"The only concern is the cost."
"It would be helpful if there was cloud support."
"The product could offer more integration capabilities."
"Interfaces need to be improved."
"The solution, in the future, should offer support for mobile."
"It's not the best solution for big databases."
"In my opinion, the user interface and the user friendliness could be improved. The specific thing I have in mind are the graphics, which are not quite user-friendly."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"It could be cheaper."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was very expensive before, but after integrating it with Dell EMC Avamar Data Protection suite licensing, we are getting better discounts."
"Licensing was generally on a per VM or terabyte basis. They changed their licensing model a couple of times and turned it into socket-based licensing, which is an improvement in their licensing model."
"Dell EMC needs to lower Avamar's price and add more features to stay competitive."
"Avamar's pricing is quite competitive compared to other vendors."
"Regarding pricing, I would say Avamar is slightly expensive compared to its functionalities. It's not high-priced or low-priced but somewhere in between."
"I rate the tool's price as a three out of ten if one means expensive and ten means it is a cheaply priced tool."
"Dell's pricing structure is not overly expensive."
"This solution is less expensive than Veeam for us, although it depends on the customer because we get a great discount."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
