"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."

"It is a quick and easy way to organize my backups and to keep track of them."

"Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration."
"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."

"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
"The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release."

"The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
