Overall Satisfaction with Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery

We use our Unitrends Backup appliance as our primary backup tool for the entire school/business.
We do nightly backups of critical data as well as daily backups to external media that is shipped off-site weekly (on a 4-week rotation).
It's used for DR and for individual file recovery as needed.
  • Reports are helpful for general monitoring.
  • Adding new assets is simple.
  • Interface is fairly intuitive.
  • Mostly "set it and forget it".
  • Error detail reports are still fairly cryptic.
  • More options for reporting format would be nice (graphs, charts, etc).
  • 3rd party cloud storage options would be welcome.
  • Tough to beat support and reliability.
  • Reliable reports and consistent results.
  • Provides peace of mind with off-site capabilities.

Did implementation of Unitrends go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Unitrends again?

Yes

The appliance is well suited for simple and reliable on-premise back-up. The addition of an external dock or Cloud backup allows for off-site options. A nice, low-maintenance solution for small/mid-sized environments. We don't use the larger appliances or Unitrends's cloud solution so I can't speak to the quality of those.
