Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."We sell Avamar with Data Domain. Data Domain and Avamar work really well together and their compression ratios are very high compared to Veeam, Commvault, and all the other backup software on the market."
"The backup and recovery speed is very fast."
"The deduplication feature is the best aspect of the solution."
"Quick incremental backups and product replication are the two highlights of the product. Once you capture a full backup, incrementals are pretty quick. It is fairly efficient from that perspective."
"The installation process is pretty straightforward."
"It's a good solution."
"The solution is very stable."
"The product is good for backups."
"Essentially, it replaced our tape backups."
"The reporting should be improved, as we currently have to use another tool for that purpose."
"The solution used to freeze sometimes while taking a snapshot backup."
"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."
"The product could offer more integration capabilities."
"The licensing model is not very flexible. Every time we upgrade our storage size, we need to upgrade the Avamar license."
"If you don't have DPA, the reporting features are not as user-friendly, so reporting is something that they can improve on."
"The UI is not easy to use. There are other products such as Veeam that are easy to use for the end-user which is why they are moving away from Avamar or Networker."
"Some customers need to back up to tape, but Avamar lacks support, so it costs a lot."
"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."
