Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a very good and easy-to-use tool for non-technical people."

More NovaStor NovaBACKUP Pros →

"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.""Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately.""I really like the reporting options you get for various email reports.""The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks.""It's not easy to scale it.""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."

Cons
"The price of NovaStor NovaBACKUP is an area that can be considered as a weakness or drawback, where improvements are required."

More NovaStor NovaBACKUP Cons →

"Unitrends can be challenging to scale.""It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market.""Comparing the features and the working pattern, definitely they have to come down on pricing if they want to compete in the 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.""If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "My company has to make yearly payments towards the solution's maintenance and support."
  • More NovaStor NovaBACKUP Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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: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 »
