Likelihood to Recommend

Great for [the] virtual environment. Easy to use, easy to deploy, and easy to maintain. Some aspects of maintenance can be tedious as you cant delete a server until all jobs associated are removed. Would be nice if it automated that process. If I delete the device, go ahead and remove the jobs too.

Unitrends - The good one
