Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end.""The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex.""I was mainly concerned with cloud backups, OneDrive backups, consumer OneDrive, business OneDrive, Google backups, and SharePoint backups. The solution did a good job of the backup.""The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently.""Provides connectivity to a lot of different cloud storage solutions.""Technical support is very good.""The feature that I have found most valuable is its online backup capacity because you don't have to do an entire backup again and again, it just does whatever you type in, you type a, it goes a, you type b, it goes b. It doesn't take an entire site up again and again. So that incremental and bit by bit backup is important, it is a nice feature here.""The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."

"It is fairly stable.""Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately.""When I have had to use tech support, they've been very good.""Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration.""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.""Stability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten.""They have great support.""The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof."

Cons
"The Linux GUI leaves a lot to be desired. It lacks many of the features of the Windows version and is buggy, but it is still usable.""The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated.""The interface feels like it is targeted for end users who typically are looking for an all-in-one integrated push button solution. It would be better if the interface had a beginner mode and an expert mode.""The restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy.""The product could be more user-friendly.""We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines.""Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default.""The main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point. They say they are GDPR compliant, but they are not."

"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great.""There are a few quirks where the GUI, agent, and back-end are not precisely meshed.""Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing.""It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market.""The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive.""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.""Network-based storage stability could be improved.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
  • "We have a very good return on investment."
  • "Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
  • "It includes a standard licensing fee. Once a year, there is a rebranding fee. The licensing costs are available on the internet for MSP360 Backup. There is a discount structure where if you have over 50 devices, you get a 50% discount. So, my cost is $2 a license per month."
  • "MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
  • "I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."

  • "Make sure you do the homework to size the solution properly. Buy the Enterprise Plus licensing if you can afford it."
  • "When you purchase initially, get into the program which gives replacement hardware for free when you renew your support agreement."
  • "Initial pricing is competitive. Renewal pricing is steep, so make sure to project costs for the lifetime of the appliance(s)."
  • "Talk with the sales guys. They can work with you on the best package."
  • "We found that the cost of Unitrends was about the same as the Dell DR6300. We liked the fact that the Unitrends appliance was all-in-one."
  • "The cost of Unitrends definitely draws you in. The licensing is all included in the appliance, which is a great incentive."
  • "Pricing model constantly changes."
  • "You should be aware how much the monthly costs are to use, what the initial costs for hardware are, and what the options to expand are, if needed."

    Top Answer:The product could be more user-friendly. Its pricing needs improvement as well.

    Top Answer:Unitrends is an expensive solution. We've negotiated deals where they've given us the $ 62,000 to $ 64,000 appliance for free but charged $ 90,000 for three years of support.
    Top Answer:In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses—I had to hover over to find that information. Figuring out the scripting part wasn't… more »
