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."The flexibility. Being able to virtualize it, port it wherever I like, test my backups, test my DR capabilities whenever I like without impacting anybody."
"You can store backups for a while."
"Being able to move data seamlessly from one-premise to the cloud (Azure). It works great. The backup solution is perfect for us."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"It's pretty simple. Once you set it, it goes; and then the idea of being able to get it to the cloud very quickly. It's kind of a set-it-forget-it."
"It's so easy to work with."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data. You're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"Backup/archive to multiple locations."
"VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"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."
"The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof."
"The predictive analytics are great and the reporting is awesome."
"When I have had to use tech support, they've been very good."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
"I would like to see more web support."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"The solution's base operating system needs to be improved."
"The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
"It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market."
"Network-based storage stability could be improved."
"It would be great to have the job throttle/limit the max number of backups on a single ESXi host."
"There are a few quirks where the GUI, agent, and back-end are not precisely meshed."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
"It could be a little more customizable."
