"EMC Avamar working for our needs and beating the competition "
4/5
What do you like best about Dell Avamar?

The algorithms used to reduce the amount of data actually transferred has made this a success for us where other products have failed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dell Avamar?

The interface at times can be challenging. The requirement for Java bits heads with our security posture. The lack of generalized knowledge and freedom of troubleshooting steps from EMC seems very limited vs other better know products. We should have to involve EMC's support for minor issues.
