Overall Satisfaction with Unitrends MSP

We back up every Windows server we manage using Unitrends, 75 servers across 35 clients, replicated to 3 different hosts in our offsite datacenter. We are able to virtualize every server both locally and in the cloud, providing total resiliency to our clients.
  • Management of all appliances can be done from 1 pane of glass.
  • Detailed and easy to read email reports make verifying operations very easy.
  • Centralized software updates for all appliances.
  • Better and more detailed logging in the MSP console.
  • Inclusion of access verification (virtual boot tests) in MSP console.
  • More consistent results in various reporting views.
  • Considerable savings over other solutions.
  • Reduced time spent verifying successful backups.
  • Increased flexibility in every way.
I selected Unitrends because of the flexibility of the product. I can backup using reliable image and host-level methods and replicate those backups anywhere I desire. This made Unitrends the right choice for us because we host our own "cloud" storage in an offsite datacenter. Other products force you to use their cloud, at a substantial premium price. Even the products I've used that allowed me to host my own offsite storage were overly complicated to implement, manage, and maintain.

Well suited when flexibility is required for the type of hardware you want to use for local and offsite backups. Will work with anything that can host a VMware or Hyper-V virtual machine.
