    We have a traditional stack and pretty typical needs as a manufacturer. I have used and evaluated everything out there, but the Unitrends solution fits very well and was competitively priced. I would think if it fits us, it could fit anyone like us with a similar stack.

    As Vinchin has released newer versions, it has gradually expanded support for a wider range of ecosystems while introducing more advanced features. We first started using it with version 6, when there were still several areas that could be improved. Today, the platform has evolved to include features we don't even use, reflecting how much it has matured. In the past, I would say Vinchin was best suited for small and medium-sized businesses. Today, however, with capabilities such as resilient backup options and support for private cloud platforms like OpenStack, it has become much more enterprise-ready. Adding backup support for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure would likely further strengthen that positioning.

    Pros
    Kaseya
    • It has fully automated and customizable dashboards that can run with less administrative attention.
    • It should be able to run on virtual machines or be deployed as a virtual machine within MS Azure or AWS.
    • It's AI-based ransomware detection helps to understand data characteristics and alerts for ransomware attacks.

    • MYSQL Hot Backup is good, we are using for multiple versions.
    • Support is very prompt.

    Cons
    Kaseya
    • Errors on backup jobs could be more clearly explained. As the administrator of the device for my company, I often don't know what caused an error, and can't tell from the error information what happened or caused the error.
    • Updates of the devices should have an automatic option. It takes to much time to do an update to the devices if updates haven't been maintained.
    • Shutdown and restarting the device should be available from the main UI screen to eliminate some time when doing updates or if you're doing some maintenance on the device.

    • Please improve regarding log details. The error on the log does not clear.
    • Please make it as installer. So we can install VBR on another platform like Ubuntu.

    We have grown very attached to the Unitrends appliances and their use for recovery and other file restoration needs as well as data archival, data replication to other appliance and data migration to other servers or long term storage requirements. The appliances work well and the support for them is very good as well.

    Usability
    Kaseya
    I have never used such an easy product that is stable and scalable like Unitrends. I have been running backups for MANY years. On premise, tape, disk, cloud, you name it. Unitrends is very flexible, stable and has incredible reporting features. It's nice when management requests a report and it takes you 5 minutes to run it and dump it to PDF. How can you beat that?

    1. Vinchin does the Job (Agent, Agentless) with flexible recovery point options, and restoration has all the features like entire VM, file level, BMR, Etc. 2. Instant Virtual machine is very useful as an immediate recovery option and migration as well 3. BMR is super easy from agent-based backup or agent-less

    They're incredible, attentive, thorough. They make sure my issue is resolved and follow up. I'm usually behind on giving them a reply or an update. They have always gone above and beyond for me, and I'll continue to do the same for them.

    The Unitrends employees involved in the installation were very friendly and knowledgeable. A certain degree of hiccups can be expected during any installation but never shook my confidence because of the friendly and knowledgeable team that was assigned to my project.

    Symantec Backup Exec was the primary tool used for backups for years. We also used Veeam for some Office 365/Exchange backups. Unitrends once configured and set up works very well against the competition. Backup Exec interface was more user friendly. The search tool for exploring backups was much better than Unitrends as well. Unitrends is much faster if you need to restore an entire VM or large file folders. Also once you have Unitrends all set up, it is very low maintenance, it just works. If something fails 9/10 it will correct itself on the next backup that is scheduled to run

    Vinchin Backup isn't exactly comparable to these products because it offers a multitude of features that allow it to be integrated into any environment, even beyond the smallest single server. These features include the multitude of virtualization platforms it connects to for backup, features that almost no other competitor can offer.

    Once you exceed the capacity of the appliances, you have to forklift a new appliance. This is very expensive.

    Return on Investment
    Kaseya
    • It has saved some deleted file server data for our business department.
    • We have lost some reports for the business department due to an overlooked setting that make the backup reports look great, but the server was not being backed up in reality.
    • Less anxiety for the IT department, we have backup plan and that is worth a lot to us.

    • We have been using Vinchin for the last 3 years, and we have had no issues with VM backups. VM backups are taken for approximately 450 VMs using multiple schedules.
    • For MySQL, we are using the Community edition, where the native hot backup solution is not available. Using Vinchin, we can take hot backups at regular intervals, which have significantly reduced our RPO. Earlier, we used to take MYSQL backup using our own scripts only once a day, at night. After using Vinchin, now it's every 2hours.
    • Support is very prompt. Whenever an issue arises, we get support in the WhatsApp group created for our organization.
