Overall Satisfaction with Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery
We currently utilize a Unitrends appliance at one of our locations and the associated cloud infrastructure as well. We are in the process of phasing the product line out of our environment for a gamut of reasons including but not limited to: the inability to manage our data in the cloud, appliance maintenance requiring Unitrends support.
- Interface is great. Intuitive and easy to use.
- Backups are efficient.
- Offsite cloud replication is pretty slick.
- The appliance requires monthly/quarterly intervention.
- Even with a daily digest, we figured out the appliance was in a failed state by chance. This resulted in 22 days of lost data.
- The support staff is either incredible or awful. Last go around they wiped our appliance accidentally.
- Time involved is too great to justify.
- Needed to implement new solution at other locations.
- Moving away from product because of huge expenses related to time/data loss.

We are moving away from Unitrends to Dell EMC Avamar. It is not perfect by any means, but the concerns around data loss or everyday interaction have been alleviated. I do like the interface better for Unitrends and the daily digests. But with the catastrophic issues we have had, this is not something we could maintain.
