Stable, integrates well with other solutions, and has a good price, but its UI needs a refresh

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.

Provides server-side and backend application support but needs better interface

It removes the headache and hassle for users. However, there’s a critical issue, especially with endpoint users: any change made will immediately reflect, and another problem is that the backup only retains data for 30 days. Some users change files they might not remember or need to revert after a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have seen huge data reduction and data deduplication and compression, which is very cost-effective and cost-reducing for the company."

"The source site replication feature is valuable."

"We love the instant recovery functionality. It's very useful."

"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."

"Source based deduplication is the most attractive feature as it drastically reduces the backup window."

"The most valuable features are image backups and file backups."

"It works quickly and is very stable."

"Dell Avamar has a push upgrade feature that lets you simultaneously push updates to thousands of clients. I also found the self-service part of Dell Avamar helpful."

More Dell Avamar pros

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."

"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."

"One of the most valuable features is it is available on the cloud, so I do not need to make a firewall. Second, the backup speed is outstanding. The third thing is that the section policy is very good and gives you a lot of flexibility and granularity regarding what you need to back up."

"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."

"Druva is offered as a service so that we can access it from any enterprise-based browser or URL. We also have a single sign-on, which allows me to log in securely. Hence, I can easily access the system, configure it, perform day-to-day monitoring tasks, and check for any issues or configurations needed. Overall, it's a simple and easy-to-use tool with a high-speed and straightforward interface for management."

"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."

"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."

More Druva inSync pros

Cons

"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."

"The configuration and expansion aspects of the solution need improvement. They're complicated and don't really integrate well."

"If you need to pull data out of it to offload to tapes, that's messy. You have a mechanism for it, but it is painful."

"The tool's interface is very much in a spreadsheet format...reporting is an area with shortcomings requiring improvement."

"Interfaces need to be improved."

"The initial setup is a bit complex and could be simpler."

"When we used the solution, it was still new, and so the customer service/technical support was not the best."

"The support is very bad."

More Dell Avamar cons

"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."

"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."

"I would like to see security improved in the next release."

"The speed could be better."

"The backup time is very poor. The backup runs continuously. It goes on from morning till night. The system performance also becomes very poor when Druva inSync is running."

"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"

"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."

"Druva inSync is very high in price. A general customer cannot afford this solution. Even if the product is good, people cannot afford such a high cost just for taking the backup. This is a recurring investment, and the customers have to pay for it every year. Druva is also yet to develop the channel and the channel or partner commitment."

More Druva inSync cons

"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."

"The pricing is good."

"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."

"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
