Overall Satisfaction with Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery

Currently backing up all VMware servers and a few stand alone servers and appliances. Have had to use the recovery twice. Once to retrieve a few files and once to restore a VM that was not starting up.
  • Easy to use interface.
  • Really straightforward.
  • Quick hardware setup.
  • Incredibly knowledgeable and responsive chat team.
  • Learning curve for agent deployment.
  • Manual agent installs for older Windows server versions.
  • Can be tricky for Domain Controller backups.
  • Reporting means less time checking logs.
  • Quick recovery when files needed recovered.
  • Small amount of space on rack.
  • quick restore of VM.

Yes

Would you buy Unitrends again?

Yes

The interface is much better and user friendly compare to previous software. The hardware takes up less space in a rack. Configuring a backup is much quicker. Recovering from a backup is much quicker. Support is available via chat, not just the phone. Chat is really knowledgeable and easy to understand.
This can be used in medium to large sized businesses. Small sized businesses with less complexity could use less expensive software and buy nonproprietary hardware. If you are large enough to have an IT staff this will make backing up a breeze and is highly recommended. Easy to use and will let you know of any failures. It works for you!
