"It is an easy system to use. The support, if needed, is always willing to help."
"What I found most valuable in Unitrends is its simple user interface. It also works reliably."

"If you are a large organization, this is a product for you."
"I really like the reporting options you get for various email reports."
"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."
"The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof."
"The ability of instant VM recovery, which means starting the backup VM and getting it online while the recovery is still happening is the most valuable feature."
"This solution is very flexible and user-friendly — it's very good. It's very good with our virtual and physical infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
"My customers find the backup and recovery ease of use is the most beneficial feature."
"It is a flexible, simple, and scalable software-based solution. It has agentless functionality with specific hypervisors and agent-based functionality with specific operating systems. It gives you the flexibility to use your own hardware and back up physical Windows, Linux, IBM AIX, and Oracle Solaris systems as well as VMware VMs, Hyper-V VMs, and Nutanix VMs from one console. It also has integration with major applications that most companies are using, such as Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. It has integrations, not just for the backup on the image, host layer, or hypervisor, but also for performing an application-consistent backup. It is helpful in backing up to the tape, cloud, DR site, etc. It is really flexible. It is really amazing that you can restore any backup on VMware, Azure, or AWS. As compared to the other solutions in the market. Veeam has really integrated a lot in the past years. It has the best performance and perfect replication."
"Its simplicity and the fact that it just works are most valuable. We kind of set it up and generally forget about it. It does what we need it to do in the background, and it doesn't involve a lot of management."
"No problems with stability."
"Initially setting up the product is easy."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality."
"One complaint I have is the dashboard flashing as it reloads/refreshes itself. The program was not always like that and it happened after an update at some point."
"It would be helpful to be able to have a custom footprint so that only the required features are installed."
"In the loading of a backup, choosing what to restore seems to be a lengthy process, but it has always worked in my restore tests."
"It would be good if I could have a remote upgrade of our Synology Transporters, but the manual upgrade is easy and no problem at all."
"I need no more valuable features for backs-up. I have not yet tried the latest release, however, I have all the features that I need."
"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution."
"Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
"The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
"Network-based storage stability could be improved."
"No appliance update notifications."
"It would be great to have the job throttle/limit the max number of backups on a single ESXi host."
"It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market."
"I would like a solution for SAP systems to be included."
"think backing up from physical servers and ransomware security needs some improvements."
"In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included."
"The product is missing some commonsense features and tools for an enterprise backup recovery product,"
"The initial setup was not straightforward at all."
"Veeam needs to have more support for non-Windows systems and other databases. For example, I can do SQL with Veeam but not Informix or Oracle. This is unfortunate because we have many partners with Oracle systems and Informix databases, and Veeam does not yet have the agents we need for specific Oracle and UNIX operating systems."
"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."
"It is efficient but can improve security-wise."
