Featured Reviews

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.
Ingvar  Ingason - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Avamar is a very good solution, and it stands out compared to other options, especially when we expand storage with Data Domain or other accessible storage systems."
"The most valuable features are image backups and file backups."
"They are extremely reliable and scalable — they provide the best de-duplication on the market."
"We sell Avamar with Data Domain, Data Domain and Avamar work really well together and their compression ratios are very high compared to Veeam, Commvault, and all the other backup software on the market."
"It is very easy when you want to restore back to the original state."
"The solution scales well."
"The product is very powerful and offers very good performance."
"The solution is always coming up with new features year over year, consistently updating their offering to continuously offer better and broader functionality in their product."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"Our primary use case for the solution is to back up our devices and equipment for employees and some equipment in airport software."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is useful for those who run an infrastructure where there might arise a need to do some transition or want to opt for digital transformation."
"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."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"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."
 

Cons

"The bare-metal restores could be improved."
"The problems are, that it has issues with support. Dell has issues in that area."
"The licensing model is not very flexible. Every time we upgrade our storage size, we need to upgrade the Avamar license."
"The interface has room for improvement. It's not ideal right now."
"It would be better if we could integrate easily with other platforms."
"The product could be improved by simplifying the components available."
"The product could be easier to troubleshoot. When I had a problem with the software, I invested a lot of time to find out what the problem was."
"The client caches and deduplication system have a few problems."
"It could be cheaper."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"The pricing could be improved. It's an expensive solution."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"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 solution could be cheaper and they should include more education or marketing materials for users to understand how to use the solution."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. The maintenance comes with it for five years. So, you buy the whole thing for five years, and your maintenance is included with it, but it's a big chunk of change upfront. We like capital expenses because we can CapEx them. We pay once every five years, so we spend a big chunk of change. You'd have to divide that out by the five years to come up with how much it costs. It's just about three-quarters of a million dollars for five years."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"It is very expensive. It's a trust based licensing. So that's an ethical challenge."
"The cost is high."
"Licensing fees are paid annually."
"The solution is costly."
"It was approximately $70-80,000 when it was under support, but right now EMC has not been supporting this product for two years."
"It's a very high-end solution and comparable to Rubrik and Cohesity."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"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."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
