Overall Satisfaction with Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery
Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery is my main production backup system and currently backup all my hypervisor hosts and virtual machines including VMWare and Microsoft systems. This backup system replaced my old SCDPM solution and addressed many issues and problems like long backup time and inconsistent backup and failing recovery that I have with my previous backup system.
- Customer service and technical support is top notch. You can chat online or email your issues or problems and someone will get back to you instantly. Technical support is knowledgeable and resourceful.
- Unitrends instant recovery is a live saver. It is a quick and easy way to recovery from any corrupt or failed systems.
- Unitrends Ransomware detection is a nice feature to have and to be alerted when there are abnormalities.
- Unitrends hardware notification alerts me if there is any potential issues or problems with any hardware failure.
- Unitrends backup systems require deployment of agent to hosts and VMs in order for them to communicate. Every time there is an new update, I have to deployed new agent to update every systems which is time consuming and chances it can break and take down production systems.
