Overall Satisfaction with Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery

We use Unitrends to backup all of our servers and data in our datacenter. The Unitrends solution - combining on premises backup with cloud backup - is the ideal solution for an organization our size. The on premises appliance allows for fast, easy backup that just works. The cloud storage gives us peace of mind that once backed up to the cloud and disconnected from our network, we can recover from almost any scenario - from natural disaster to cryptolocker attacks. Unitrends solves our backup problem, disaster recovery, and business continuity in one easy-to-manage solution. Definitely recommend for small to medium size businesses and IT Departments.
  • Microsoft SQL Server database backups.
  • Individual file restore for corrupted or accidently deleted files.

We've been on Unitrends for so long, I don't remember what our previous solution was. It works so well, there's no reason to explore other options. I know when we selected, it seemed to be the best price for the easiest to use solution that met our needs. When we started using Unitrends, the cloud backup service wasn't even offered yet. So we're very happy with how the product has continued to evolve.
We first implemented Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery when we were a VMware shop. We have since migrated to Hyper-V and the Unitrends device has worked smoothly with both environments. The Unitrends solution works well for small to medium businesses with smaller IT shops, due to its fast learning curve, light footprint, and ease-of-use. It's also priced affordably for the SMB market. As a medium sized organization that doesn't have a dedicated IT group, or even a dedicated individual, for backup and recovery, Unitrends is a great solution.
