Sebastien Chene

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.

Channel Sales Manager at Arrow Electronics

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 function I find most valuable in Dell Avamar is its ability to take differential backups for users. This feature is very effective for both backup and restore operations. We've had multiple cases where we needed to restore files directly from Avamar, and it worked perfectly. The Delta feature, which captures changes in user files, is particularly useful."

"The backup and recovery speed is very fast."

"I like Dell EMC Avamar's compression of data."

"The source site replication feature is valuable."

"I have found the product to be scalable."

"It is very easy when you want to restore back to the original state."

"It was very simple to deploy the solution to the client that you wanted to backup."

More Dell Avamar pros

"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."

"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."

"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."

"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."

"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

"We don't trust the product 100 percent. Kaspersky has many features Dell Avamar doesn't support, such as granular backup and history."

"Dell EMC Avamar is a very complex product. It took a lot of time for the IT admins to get trained on how to use it. It is not very user-friendly, and we won't be using Avamar anymore. It needs a lot of improvement in terms of how the backups have been configured, and the reporting is too complex."

"The user interface still needs to have some level of improvement. It could be more user-friendly and intuitive."

"Dell Avamar could improve by adding more backup features."

"The solution used to freeze sometimes while taking a snapshot backup."

"Dell hasn't done a good job at handling these upgrades, or the way EMC used to handle them."

"The licensing price must be reduced."

"The solution is not very strong on the Cloud. They should work out how they can use this as a backup as a service."

More Dell Avamar cons

"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."

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."

"The solution's setup process should be simplified."

"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."

"It could be cheaper."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution."

"There are licensing costs for Dell EMC Avamar and it is paid annually."

"I'm not sure, but perhaps the pricing could be done better at the moment."

"The cost is high."

"Dell Avamar is a moderately priced solution."

"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."

"The solution is costly."

"It might not be beneficial to smaller businesses due to its high cost."

More Dell Avamar pricing and cost advice

"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."

"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."

"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
