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.

file system backups are very fast , always incremental , easy to administer , faster and simple BMR. easy to set up replication to DR . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
cache file dependency , if any cache file got corrupted then the next will be full backup .
virtual machine individual files restore limitation . during maintenance window only few backup can be run . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Well we used to have this solution implemented for backups of physical and virtual servers for data around the 2TB of size. For this requirements this is a good solution. It is a appliance so the solution is pre-configure and with a fix sized of data for every data node you added. I like the most is that with just install the agent you can rapidly start backup jobs and the deduplication features are good for to backups on average 2 x the data.
The solution works good and the admin gui is simple. You can be asure that when you grow the solution, you will get both processor and capacity , so the performance stay almost the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ok the solution is sell as a appliance so there is a downside to this. When you need more capacity over the years you cannot add newer storage nodes that have more capacity or better processor power. You are stuck with the data node generation that you first bought. So this is a a drawback. We where growing raplidly with the backup needs and it turns out that for data over 2TB of size, it doesn't perform very well. So the solution are for small and medium business size.
