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."Technical support responds very quickly."
"It is affordable."
"Backups are very easy to implement and schedule, the product is very useful, and the recovery procedure is very extensive and feature-rich."
"This product provides cost-efficient and reliable backups."
"It is easy to set up using the included virtual appliance and also includes agents for most NAS systems."
"It can be quickly configured via web pages."
"It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure."
"The fact that it works with Synology is a big valuable point. Also, that we can check the functionality of a backup so easily. Cloud integration is valuable because the ability to not only backup locally, but to the cloud, has been a great addition to the already fantastic product. We can save so much time with Nakivo and are very happy that we found it and loved to use it for our solutions."
"VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"They have great support."
"The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof."
"The most valuable feature of Unitrends for me is the automated feedback"
"It is fairly stable."
"When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one."
"It's not easy to scale it."
"There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things."
"The first implementation is a bit difficult but once is up and running is rock solid and extremely easy to manage."
"It would be good to have some Oracle database backup capability from the Linux OS in the next release."
"It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time."
"Sometimes, for some VMs and some Windows Server versions, specifically old versions (aka server 12 or older) fail due to the VSS writer error or locking file system."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."
"In the press releases, it would be useful to make sure that the manual space reclaim procedure does not have to be performed but that it happens automatically, thus optimizing the use of space."
"The way encryption is currently working could be improved. Currently, it's not possible to encrypt the backup to an NFS share directly. It needs to have the encryption within the Transporter/VM to enable encryption, which isn't optimal. So I'm hoping that in the near future this function will be implemented."
"The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive."
"It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market."
"In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
"I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added."
"It could be a little more customizable."
"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."
