We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and Unitrends based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It's stable."
"I like that it's a simple system."
"The most valuable features of Azure Backup for us are its flexible retention options and the ability to recover to a second region with geo-replication and read access."
"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."
"With a couple of buttons, we can configure a VM for a backup and use the wall service, the storage wall service, pretty seamlessly."
"When it comes to Azure Backup, the advantage is that it's native and it's very easy to configure. We don't require a separate tool or manage something on a separate server. At the backend, it's managed by Microsoft itself, and we don't need to manage it."
"One of the most valuable features is security and connectivity to the data."
"The tool has a lot of features."
"The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof."
"The predictive analytics are great and the reporting is awesome."
"It's not easy to scale it."
"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside."
"What I found most valuable in Unitrends is its simple user interface. It also works reliably."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"When I have had to use tech support, they've been very good."
"It is an easy system to use. The support, if needed, is always willing to help."
"We would like to see some kind of notification given to the user that a file was not synchronized well or what may have happened."
"I would like to see more automation, integration, and security. The price could be better."
"I believe more options could be available to understand better what's happening in the system. Additionally, automating the client updates and connector updates would be beneficial. Updating the connector from time to time can be challenging, and it could be made more transparent and straightforward for users. Moreover, another drawback lies in the time it takes to test full data backup recovery. Deploying a full recovery takes longer. We need to allocate a longer period for complete data recovery to establish the environment again."
"The product must improve on a database level."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"I would like to see better integration with more products, and more services."
"It doesn't have the option to have a backup from the database. It has backup for the files, folders, and backup only the whole virtual machine. But if I need to do a backup from the Oracle database, from an Exchange server or from SharePoint, this ability isn't there. There is no application backup."
"Azure lacks sufficient solutions for a particular scenario, we may need to resort to using third-party applications. In such cases, these applications can be employed to facilitate backup, replication, and the efficient utilization of internet connectivity and bandwidth. They enable us to effectively manage and transfer data while ensuring optimal utilization of network resources. However, it would be a benefit if we did not have to use third-party applications for these operations."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution."
"It could be a little more customizable."
"In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."
"It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market."
"Unitrends can be challenging to scale."
