Overall Satisfaction with Dell EMC Avamar

When I was working for Hexistor, our cloud solution for backups was DELL EMC Avamar. We used this for different clients that were in distinct locations around the world and we transferred all their backups to our data center in the USA. The business problems that we resolved with Avamar were that we could have a second backup solution to improve the Continuity of our clients. We have local backup and cloud backup taken with Avamar.
  • Faster Backup and Recovery
  • Flexible Deployment
  • Interface is old
  • Managing space is difficult
  • Training is difficult
  • The cost to start is very cheap
  • Client can decide how much data is transferred
  • Flexibility makes it easy to set up
EMC Avamar offers backup and recovery for desktops and laptops, allowing users to extend the power of Avamar "deduplication" backup software with the aim of eliminating the risk of data loss. Backup processes are performed automatically and in the background to ensure comprehensive protection without disrupting users. Avamar also provides a secure interface, which its users can use to start backup processes and recover data (without help desk intervention).
It is a simple tool that allows you to backup specific information, only files and folders, and it does a good job with managing duplication. That flexibility makes it easy to set up and inexpensive for customers, because they can control the amount of data they send to the cloud.
