Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tool has a lot of features."
"The fact that Azure Backup is integrated is one of its biggest advantages."
"I have no issues with the stability at all. So I don't necessarily care about the stability of the product. I look more at whether or not can I recover. And I haven't had a failed recovery yet. I've got no failed recoveries of all my years."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the file recovery and file vault."
"Azure Backup is very simple to use and user-friendly."
"Setting up Azure Backup is straightforward and the total deployment time was about a month."
"We are happy with this product and have not found any issues while using it."
"It is easy to schedule backups."
"Backup/archive to multiple locations."
"Iinstant recovery (allows a spin-up of your image as a VM on the appliance)."
"Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration."
"When I have had to use tech support, they've been very good."
"What I found most valuable in Unitrends is its simple user interface. It also works reliably."
"It is fairly stable."
"The ability to backup both physical and virtual machines, along with having an appliance store the backups locally instead of on a file server, NAS, or SAN."
"When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one."
"The user interface is a little bit confusing and it could be better."
"The extensibility onto hybrid environments needs a bit of tweaking for those on-prem."
"In Avamar, the file-based restores are very quick and fast, whereas, in Azure Backup, VM restore is super easy, but if I have to do a file or a folder restore, I have to mount the entire VM image. I have to wait for some time for it to be mounted, and then I have to go inside and then check the file and copy it somewhere. It's a bit of a manual process, whereas in Avamar, you can directly select a file and folder, and it'll recover with whatever permissions you want."
"Azure Backup could improve by offering better integration for Oracle databases and enhancing features like granular restore and backup compliance capabilities."
"The product could improve its performance."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"The integration with the record database and integration with other applications will be good, especially with the database piece."
"The monitoring and tagging features could be improved."
"It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market."
"Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive."
"It could be a little more customizable."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
"Support is great for small simple issues, but anything more difficult, it is hard to get good resolutions without having to badger them and their management."
