We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Dell Avamar based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"It is very stable."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"I like the tool's speed."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"Dell EMC Avamar has many valuable features. It's very stable and it's easy to manage."
"Dell EMC Avamar is very good with endpoint backups."
"The installation process is pretty straightforward."
"The solution scales well."
"The solution is easy to use and has high performance."
"Easy to configure and highly reliable for backup."
"The data reduction feature and the ease of enabling a server in a DR location are the most valuable."
"Dell EMC Avamar is easy to work with and is user-friendly."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"The management of this solution is a little bit difficult for IT administrators. They have to be trained before going through the system."
"The solution, in the future, should offer support for mobile."
"It is very scalable, and that's its claim to fame, but that also makes it hard to make changes. Anytime there is a large piece of software, changing that piece of software is harder. You've got a larger install base, so you can't just rapidly change. We also use another product called Veeam, and it has this new feature called Continuous Data Protection, which basically lets you get very close to the way the system was in time. We have a system or two up there on which we have set 10 minutes Continuous Data Protection. So, we can roll it back to whatever it was 10 minutes ago, 20 minutes ago, or 30 minutes ago. This feature doesn't exist in Avamar Data Domain. That's the one feature I'd like to see first."
"Avamar cannot back up Nutanix as a virtual solution."
"It's an expensive solution."
"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."
"A benefit would be support for either Azure Cool Storage or AWS Glacier."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It's not as good as it could be."
