Overall Satisfaction with Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery
We use the unitrends product for company-wide backup and the ability to spin up a hot server on an as needed basis. We moved to this from multiple tape backup systems, the speed is better and the ability to have a "Hot" system in case of a server failure is remarkable.
- Fast backup
- Recovery capability
- Instant up for a failed server
- Price is high but it is worth the value
- Capacity of our unit could be improved
- Less time dealing with backup issues
- Less hardware to deal with
- Instant recovery

We did not compare Unitrends to another vendor. We found this and went through multiple discussions, and webinars and felt this was the unit for us. We just had to convince management to allow the money to be spent. It was pricey but worth it. I highly recommend purchasing this unit from unitrends.
Unitrends Feature Ratings
Using Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery
1 - I use the software as the IT manger. We backup our entire network using the unitrends product . We backup databases to end user files and anything else in-between. Unitrends allowed us to recover from a major ransomware attack with minimal down time. Unitrends is a great product for the price.
1 - once you get the unitrends device setup to start backing up all of the equipment you want backed up then you only need to monitor the jobs to make sure there are no issues. Unitrends includes a setup person to help you walk through getting the device functional . after that just monitor the jobs
