"The fast backup and recovery and the Full Backup features are valuable."
"Dell EMC Avamar is very good with endpoint backups."
"Avamar has long been the best in its class, but that's changing as new solutions emerge. However, Dell has traditionally been a leader in deduplication and compression. Avamar enabled us to shift data from on-premise local appliances to data centers and multi-tenant infrastructure. That's a powerful feature. because customers can back up to the cloud without upgrading o high-capacity links or congesting their backups."
"Dell EMC Avamar has many valuable features. It's very stable and it's easy to manage."
"The tool's most valuable features are backup management and speed."
"The most valuable features are scalability and integration."
"The solution is useful for backups."
"The most valuable feature involves VMware Instant Recovery, which allows one to do restoration within seconds."
"If you use the NetBackup Appliance you do not need to have separate media servers and hardware. You can configure the same storage as a media server and master server as well as a storage port. This helps to reduce the hardware costs of the media server."
"The solution uses minimal resources."
"NetBackup is based on really good architectural hardware, and Veritas has the best backup and replication technology in the world."
"The product enables me to recover the information of the appliances in the organization."
"The tool's most valuable feature is recovery."
"We have good data backup coverage."
"Performance can sometimes be affected when tools are utilized for tasks like backup or deep archiving."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications and platforms."
"The product could offer more integration capabilities."
"The client caches and deduplication system have a few problems."
"If there is a need to move the data from one backup solution to another, it might be difficult since there is no option for a straightforward migration."
"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."
"The UI is quite old. We've been using this UI since last year, and they haven't changed it. It would be better to update the UI periodically and create attractive dashboards from an administrative point of view."
"The hybrid model is not that efficient if we want to off-site data; it takes a lot of time to upload the data on a regular basis."
"The installation is cumbersome."
"The price needs to be improved because it is really expensive."
"I would like the ability to recover a single folder within the backup of a virtual machine."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration and security."
"The only drawback for NetBackup, and of course for Veritas, is that they have stuck to the same environment and to the same UI - User Interface. This needs to be improved in future releases. It needs to be more dynamic."
"They could simplify the process of installing, and provide more space for data during the process."
"The NetBackup software is based on Red Hat Linux, but we should have multiple software options for that. We should have more OS options. Also, there are too many tools and intermediaries. Everything should be built into an all-in-one solution."
