About Dell EMC Avamar

Dell EMC Avamar is a data backup and recovery solution that helps businesses secure and manage confidential data or enterprise applications across virtual environments. Professionals can conduct orchestrated disaster recovery (DR) testing and automatically backup data across private or public clouds.

Dell EMC Avamar allows organizations to automatically divide backup data into sub-file segments and identify duplicate information. Managers can utilize the network-attached storage (NAS) system to store and quickly access the required information from the database. Additionally, it lets users recover specific data from the repository using the integrated search engine.

Dell EMC Avamar facilitates integration with various in-house and third-party applications. Pricing is available on request and support is extended via documentation, live chat, phone and other online measures.

Great for backups, compression and deduplication.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

This software does an amazing job of backing up data, VMs, databases and deduplicating and compressing the data. Storage requirements and needs are greatly reduced as a result.

Cons:

This software is really only meant for backups. There is no option for DR automation, fast replication or easy restoration.

Reasons for choosing Dell EMC Avamar

Better deduplication and ability to backup multiple remote sites overnight.

Pros:

El software es bastante sencillo, posee un agente no invasivo que te permite instalarlo en las máquinas sin tener que reiniciar. La recuperación también es fácil, puedes retaurar en la ruta original o en alguna alternativa. La comprensión y deduplicación es bastante buena.

Cons:

La aplicación de escritorio es un poco pesada. Tengo inconvenientes con las notificaciones por mail, muchas veces llegan correos innecesarios e indescifrables.

Reasons for choosing Dell EMC Avamar

Por costos.

Reasons for switching to Dell EMC Avamar

Porque venció la licencia y no se podía renovar la versión que contabamos y se devía adquirir un nuevo paquete.

Outdated technology

Not horrible, it was a good product in it's time but it didn't age well.

Functionality

Pros:

Backups usually worked once they were setup and going. Didn't frequency have any issues once it was setup. Compression and deduplication to a Data Domain was amazing.

Cons:

JAVA. Can't say it enough, the way to access the software (even with the newer HTML5) was terrible and unreliable. Spend more time troubleshooting actually logging into Avamar than I did fixing an issue. Checkpoints would fail and require you to restore back, needed to contact support often and it took a bit.

Reasons for choosing Dell EMC Avamar

Fit in with the rest of the Dell ecosystem we were purchasing.

The most reliable and easiest enterprise backup solution I have used in 25 years

We use Avamar as a 'front-end' to back up our entire enterprise of over 10 petabytes. Avamar is the 'brains' to manage the backups, and it sends the backups to Dell EMC Data Domain for storage. Backups work reliably, recovery is very fast, and there are a wide range of plugins to meet your needs (image-based VM backups, Oracle & MSSQL database plugins, support for many operating systems, vCenter plugins, etc). Dell EMC support is the best, also.

Functionality

Pros:

Avamar is intuitive and easy to use compared to other backup solutions I have used, and the Dell EMC support and account team are second to none.

Cons:

Because Avamar supports protecting such a large range of products, there can be a lot of features and plugins to learn. That is not the fault of Avamar; it's just a robust product with a lot of options. Overall, though, it is intuitive and not difficult.

Reasons for switching to Dell EMC Avamar

IBM stuck it to us in an audit and wouldn't bend on pricing, and we already had a good relationship with EMC.

Pros:

The integration for virtual environments is great, the compresion and deduplication helps you to save a lot space (its require a good assesment before), the possibility to backup end users microsfot and mac is an add-on of the solution.

Cons:

This is only a disk solution not compatible with LTO Tapes, the integration with public clouds providers helps in this case.

Reasons for choosing Dell EMC Avamar

Actual DELL EMC Avamar is the only solution that has integration with Data Domain and Networker, no other company provides this integration.
