Overall Satisfaction with Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery
[Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery] was used across most of our IT infrastructure as basic Backup and Recovery.
- Not a huge learning curve
- Fairly good UI
- Client agent was not resource-intensive
- Sadly, [we] had a HUGE need for [the] daily administration.
- Our appliance was not super-stable and would hang and crash often requiring a restart.
- Reporting could be better, there were some more useful things in the old UI that were not apparent in the new one.
- Sadly, the cost of new appliance was way out of our budget and we moved to a different product last year. It worked ok for the time we had it, but with all the issues it had, we felt we just didn't have the trust for it to be our DR solution.

We tried some less-than-Enterprise level solutions like Iperius and Duplicati, but we settled on a Veeam-based solution for the long term. Unitrends has some good parts and is way better than the lower level solutions, but the price of upgrading was way way out of our budget especially for all the issues we faced.
