"Dell EMC Avamar is very good with endpoint backups."
"We love the instant recovery functionality. It's very useful."
"It is a very complete product."
"We've been using this solution to backup our servers. It is a simple backup and restore data application."
"Graphically, it's very user interactive. It's got a very nice interface."
"Essentially, it replaced our tape backups."
"More integration would be helpful, as well as the addition of more applications."
"Its ability to back up very large objects can be improved. In terms of new features, they can include the ability to use cloud services, like S3, more natively."
"The management of this solution is a little bit difficult for IT administrators. They have to be trained before going through the system."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications and platforms."
"Setting up Avamar wasn't so easy, and we had a partner doing the installation for us. Though it was hard at first, it's getting better. The main difficulty was finding plugins for Oracle Database. It took some time to open a ticket with Dell, but everything was fine after that."
"When we used the solution, it was still new, and so the customer service/technical support was not the best."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."
