Overall Satisfaction with Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery
We backup all of our virtual servers and file shares, sending our critical information to their DRaaS.
- Support! Whenever I have needed help, I've received it immediately or promptly.
- It just works. Isn't that the best part of a backup solution? I never have to think about it.
- Recovers from a failed backup usually without intervention by triggering a full backup.
- Costs less than similar solutions.
- Scheduling UI becomes difficult to edit when the schedule is busy.
- Updates are not applied automatically.
- Freed me up for other tasks. I was spending 1-2 hours a day on backups.
- We've had to recover from programmer's mistakes more than once. Unitrends allowed for a prompt recovery to a test environment where we could grab the data we needed for production.
- Made our BCDR planning very easy. If all is lost, we just need an Internet connection to get our ERP back up and running.

While all of the products I evaluate could do the job and I have experience with them all, Unitrends' solution is just easier and more affordable. All solutions have negatives, but Unitrends' are so easy to live with that I had no reason to make a change. I'd also put their support up against anyone. You can almost always get someone if you need them, but I almost never need help.
