IT Admin at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Offers good time navigation features and we haven't had stability problems in the twelve years we've been using it
The initial setup was supposed to be complex, and a guy from Atempto went to our site and they did it with us together. So, in the end, it was quite clear and straightforward. The deployment took one day. From time to time, we require maintenance. Most things can be done also automatically. We prefer to do some manually like recycling virtual cartridges. Two people are required for maintenance. Two people use it daily. Time Navigator runs daily, for some backups, even more, three, four times a day, for critical stuff. But for intervention, we have two, three per week.

Have supported critical environments despite room for improvement in legacy backup options
It is very efficient in cyber resilience. Deduplication, automation, and everything is very efficient. It is multi-cloud enabled and has broad protections. The software delivers flexible and efficient backup and recovery options through its cyber resiliency features. Dell PowerProtect Manager provides insights in managing backup processes. Its encryption mechanisms are very efficient, helping to secure sensitive data. Its integration with Dell EMC Data Domain is very good. It is easy to integrate with Data Domain. Multi-cloud options are enabled, and backup in cloud options exist in Dell Avamar.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you need anything, it's written in, and if you have problems, a development engineer is quite fast to fix it."
"The time navigation is the most valuable feature."
"The solution's ease of use simplifies the disaster recovery processes in our company"
"Centralization is Avamar's biggest advantage. It moves data to a central location from various geographical locations."
"The stability of Dell EMC Avamar is very good."
"The most valuable features are image backups and file backups."
"Every product is good and bad, but its claim to fame is that it is scalable; we're doing more than 3,000 VMs, and every single night a complete image backup to disks and replication are easily done in under four hours."
"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."
"The most valuable features are scalability and integration."
"The solution is very stable."
 

Cons

"They are working on the improvement we're looking for. The web GUI is flash-based and in around one or two months, they will put everything on HTML5."
"In my opinion, the user interface and the user friendliness could be improved. The specific thing I have in mind are the graphics, which are not quite user-friendly."
"The product could be improved by simplifying the components available."
"The licensing model is not very flexible. Every time we upgrade our storage size, we need to upgrade the Avamar license."
"The scalability is limited right now."
"We have had a lot of problems with the Dell EMC Avamar solution. The snapshots are not being erased after backup."
"If you don't have DPA, the reporting features are not as user-friendly, so reporting is something that they can improve on."
"A benefit would be support for either Azure Cool Storage or AWS Glacier."
"It's really a nightmare if you want to tape out with Avamar."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Dell's pricing structure is not overly expensive."
"Dell Avamar is a moderately priced solution."
"This solution is less expensive than Veeam for us, although it depends on the customer because we get a great discount."
"It is very expensive. It's a trust based licensing. So that's an ethical challenge."
"The price is fair."
"The cost is high."
"It is expensive. Its cost is the main thing."
"Regarding pricing, I would say Avamar is slightly expensive compared to its functionalities. It's not high-priced or low-priced but somewhere in between."

What's the difference between Dell EMC Avamar and Dell EMC NetWorker?
From the very beginning, Dell EMC NetWorker considers users and those who might potentially become users. In terms of both pricing and setup, this product offers an experience that is significantly...
What needs improvement with Dell Avamar?
It is a very good product. My only concern is that there is no tape backup. For tape backup, we have to use Dell NetWorker. They could add more features for cyber resilience and multi-cloud options...
