Dell Avamar Reviews

The primary use case is backup, but in this case, my customers want to offload the Avamar server on tape.

I like Dell EMC Avamar's compression of data.

It's stable and scalable, and I have not had any problems with it.

The initial setup could be a bit simpler.

An offload to tape would be a great additional feature. The audit people ask for data to be put somewhere else in another location to have a gap between backup data and tape, but the Avamar solution only backs up on Avamar store.

I've been using it for about two and a half years.

It's very stable and is the most stable solution I've seen.

It's scalable, and I have not had any problems with it.

The initial setup is a bit complex and could be simpler.

The price is fair.

If the setup is done right, it can be great.

I would rate Dell EMC Avamar at eight on a scale from one to ten.

We use this solution for backups and restoring.

The solution can be deployed on cloud or on-premises.

It's simple to configure.

The bare-metal restores could be improved. The scalability could also be improved, but Avamar is going to be phased out soon.

I have used this solution for 10 years.

I would rate the stability as eight out of ten.

I would rate the scalability as six out of ten.

The technical support from India is pretty poor. When technical support is from China, it's alright.

Setup is complex.

I would rate this solution as five out of ten. I wouldn't recommend it to others.
