Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Essentially, it replaced our tape backups."

More INFINIDAT InfiniGuard Pros →

"The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof.""I really like the reporting options you get for various email reports.""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.""Replication to Forever Cloud.""Backup/archive to multiple locations.""The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files.""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.""They have great support."

Cons
"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."

More INFINIDAT InfiniGuard Cons →

"​​Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago.""I would like to see more storage options for the free version.""The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs.""In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses.""Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution.""It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market.""I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added.""It would be great to have the job throttle/limit the max number of backups on a single ESXi host."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "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 most valuable feature of Unitrends for me is the automated feedback
    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 »
