The Unitrends Recovery Series Backup Appliances are hardware developed for data backup and management. They cover enterprise backup, ransomware detection, recovery assurance, proactive monitoring, and cloud continuity into a single platform for organizations of all sizes.
Back when I was vetting this solution, I tested Zenith and Unitrends. Both were more complicated and expensive - especially considering the amount of end points that I needed to backup.
Barracuda is MUCH easier to set up and use then Unitrends. Unitrends does not offer direct download of backed up files from their cloud, while Barracuda does. Unitrends uses a non-standard and difficult to use implementation of retention/archiving. Unitrends' backup to Amazon …
Barracuda was a much more cost effective solution than the others we evaluated. Its interface was light years ahead of Avamar, and its cost was much lower than Unitrends. Avamar had it beat in backup time, and Unitrends was a more mature product. In the end, Barracuda won out …
We tried the Barracuda Backup appliance which showed promise however, it did not allow us to archive to our existing tape library. This was a deal killer for us. The Unitrends appliance still allows us to utilize our tape drive for archiving purposes. This was not an option for …
While looking for a new backup solution, we also evaluated the Barracuda Backup appliance. While this solution met many of our needs, one of our requirements was the ability to archive to tape, which Barracuda didn't provide.
I was not involved with the deployment of Barracuda Backup since I started at my current company after implementation. Back then I used Barracuda for a limited amount of time and it did the job, but the cost was more expensive and that's why we decided to switch to Unitrends …
We compared Unitrends to Barracuda and selected Unitrends based [on] total cost over a three-year period. The Barracuda product was more than double the cost over the same three-year period. Additionally, both appliances offer similar feature sets and support, but the …
Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery's artificial intelligence plays a major role in all
the appliances that run a scanning procedure during each and every backup to analyze
the change logs of the files and identify if the backups are infected by
Unitrends [Data Center Backup and Recovery] has a much better UI. It's easy to navigate. Barracuda was a little pricey, and if you were to reduce your backup size under the current tier, you had to call in to get them to adjust the space requirements on the bill. They were …
Most companies have been using tape backups for along time and Unitrends allows to completely move away from tapes.
Once the Unitrends solution is in place, I don't really have to worry about it. I get notifications to my email about every job and that's how this is monitored.
VEEAM is the product that I decided to go to from Unitrends recently, as it is something that I have relied on in past companies. I am happy with the backups, however they do take up a lot more space than what Unitrends has provided. Barracuda does not have the same ROI as …
We found the Unitrends solution to be a better fit than Legato, Barracuda, Dell/EMC and other solutions. They are relatively price competitive, and frequently offer good upgrade/expansion financial incentives. They could improve on the scalability of solutions, instead of …
Unitrends stacks up very well against the other solutions I've used in the past. Feature set is very good. The thing that tips the scale heavily in their favor for me is the support team - they do an awesome job for us.

Chose Unitrends
Barracuda is what we were using before, it was unreliable, support was iffy at best, and the interface was horrendous. After numerous issues, we asked one of our providers to look into other options and they came back with Unitrends. We have been happy with it since. Unitrends …
In the past I have used Symantec Backup Exec, Windows Server backup and also Windows System Center. Unitrends is easier to use and I don't have to worry about licensing. Unitrends prices based on disk size not the number of units being backed up.
For us the cost, simplicity of use, system design, and features of the Unitrends system all matched up well to our organization's needs. They were products with more robust feature sets, but the cost was prohibitive. And, there were less expensive alternatives. But, they tended …
Barracuda and Datto could only do cloud replication, not site-to-site. Barracuda could not act as a host server in an emergency. Barracuda was cheaper, but Datto was way more expensive. Unitrends was the winner on features and cost.
We've been using Unitrends for 5+ years and one thing that we've always enjoyed is the great customer support and hardware monitoring so we don't have to waste our time making sure that everything is running smoothly. We've had a few hiccups over the years, but all-in-all …
We had a very old version of Symantec in place that Unitrends replaced. We didn't upgrade it because we were looking for a separate appliance for our solution. We did look at Barracuda briefly and have nothing against it, it's a good solution in it's own right, we just found …
This was our first backup appliance that we used/evaluated. Prior to this all our backups were done on tape using Symantec Backup Exec. Because of the amount of time spent on the management of the tapes, the poor user interface, and low reliability and that we were adding 3 …
Unitrends crushes Backup Exec in terms of usability and reliability. It seems very comparable to the Barracuda system we used at my previous employer. We went with it based on a recommendation by a backup specialist at CDW.
Unitrends was able to give us a feature set unmatched in its price range. Their support was fantastic while we were playing with our demo and the professionalism of every representative we spoke with was a comfort.
Unitrends is appliance based, did not want to have to purchase tape library and subscribe to local vaulting. Unitrends cloud and appliance came in cheaper and better recommended then the competitors.
Veeam and Barracuda were both tested before we made the decision to use Unitrends. Neither solution filled all of our needs like Unitrends did. Veeam could not backup our physical servers and Barracuda was outside our budget at the time.
