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.

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

"Dell EMC Avamar has many valuable features. It's very stable and it's easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature for me is the backup functionality; it gives large enterprises the comfort of knowing their workloads are being backed up."
"The most valuable feature of Avamar would have to be the way it works over needing very little bandwidth to move data across a WAN or LAN."
"Its deduplication technologies are the best in the market, currently."
"We were happy to switch to something else."
"They are extremely reliable and scalable — they provide the best de-duplication on the market."
"In general, the product has been extremely easy to use."
"It is very easy when you want to restore back to the original state."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
"Nutanix, in my opinion, will eventually take over."
"Our primary use case for the solution is to back up our devices and equipment for employees and some equipment in airport software."
"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."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"For entry-level companies, I would say it's a six, or perhaps even lower, like a four, because the price point is very high compared to other companies."
"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."
"Dell hasn't done a good job at handling these upgrades, or the way EMC used to handle them."
"The initial setup is a bit complex and could be simpler."
"The product does not scale. If a company needs something that can scale, they need something else."
"The reporting should be improved, as we currently have to use another tool for that purpose."
"Avamar cannot back up Nutanix as a virtual solution."
"The challenges we do face typically revolve around aligning specific features with our accustomed tool usage."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It could be cheaper."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"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's setup process should be simplified."
"The pricing could be improved. It's an expensive solution."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Dell Avamar is a moderately priced solution."
"Licensing was generally on a per VM or terabyte basis. They changed their licensing model a couple of times and turned it into socket-based licensing, which is an improvement in their licensing model."
"When it comes to competition the price is not what is important, it's not the problem."
"I rate the pricing a seven out of ten because it is expensive."
"I'm not sure, but perhaps the pricing could be done better at the moment."
"It might not be beneficial to smaller businesses due to its high cost."
"It was very expensive before, but after integrating it with Dell EMC Avamar Data Protection suite licensing, we are getting better discounts."
"It is very expensive. It's a trust based licensing. So that's an ethical challenge."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
"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."
