Top Rated Dell Avamar Alternatives
VMWare backup with GLR and change block tracking enabled is pretty good. CIFS backup is very quick using NDMP Accelerator node for large amounts of data. Deduplication works especially well when paired with data domain as the backup target for storage. Replication is fairly simple and probably the most reliable part of the software.

This is not an easy out of the box solution. Requires many different configuration pieces and plugins to make the various backup types work properly. If using to back up SQL cluster there are various bugs and need for work arounds. Exchange and Sharepoint backups require additional licensing and add on software in order to do GLR. Built in reporting tools are insufficient. Requires the addition of Data Protection Advisor suite to track and report on backup trends. While it is a very versatile solution it is also an expensive one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing I like about EMC Avamar is Hashing and sticky byte algorithm. The way data is being compressed after Hashing and it is then stored in an object storage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Well looking at the current industry standards and replication technologies. There is some lag in the bandwidth as I have worked on various products like Cohesity and Rubrik which are similar backup tools to Avamar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Avamar and IDPA is a full-fledged backup solution. We migrated to Avamar a little over a year ago with the DP5800 solution. Backups and restores are fast. While backup jobs are easy to create, there is a ton of prep-work that is required before getting started. Setting up individual schedules, retention rules and datasets all must be completed prior to creating a job. If the backup job itself contains a mix of OSes, that must be specified as well.

Way too many moving parts! Avamar in general runs well, however, there are massive updates that take a full day plus to complete. Issues with proxies most of the time are easy to resolve, but there are times that they can be quite peculiar as well. Reporting can also be quite difficult and not very intuitive.
