Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Reduxio requires zero upfront setup for backups. I get backups every single second for as long as I want with zero impact to performance.""We are enjoying a quantum leap in speed, reliability, and available space with this system.""Enables multiple hosts access to the virtual machines by providing for moving VMs due to maintenance or host failure.""The pre-processing dedupe engine they have instead of post-processing.""One of the beautiful parts about it is the whole user interface. It's almost too simple. As an IT professional, you think, "Where are the works, how am I assured that this is actually protecting my data?" The ease of use in terms of deployment, and also the metrics that it feeds back to you are also among the many attractive features of the whole platform.""We were also pleased to learn that Reduxio also has, beside dedup and compression that actually works, the "time machine" built in, which allows you to go back a few seconds or a few minutes before a ransomware attack gets you.""By using the BackDating option we can restore volumes based on time. It also reduces volumes and maintenance time.""The unit has been running at 100% without an issue."

"I really like the reporting options you get for various email reports.""Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately.""I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features.""VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs.""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.""It's not easy to scale it.""Replication to Forever Cloud.""Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration."

Cons
"Scalability is a little unusual. We came from the NetApp world where, if you needed more disk space, you just added more drives into the chassis, whereas with Reduxio, if you need more disk space, you have to buy a new chassis.""I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target.""If Reduxio could manage multiple Reduxio systems within the same dashboard, or manage them as a single mode, it be very, very helpful for us.""The only thing that I'd like to see, at some point in time, is having the storage array being able to detect a ransomware attack. When you get hit by a ransomware it rewrites every block in your guest's virtual machine. So there should be a way for them to be able to detect that: "Hey, this is unusual, to see every block of this guest being rewritten all at one time," and then flag that as potential malware or ransomware.""Maybe it should come in stainless steel, just like its DeLorean time machine predecessor.""I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control.""Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration.""There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."

More Reduxio [EOL] Cons →

"No appliance update notifications.""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.""The solution's base operating system needs to be improved.""It could be a little more customizable.""The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs.""​​Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago.""If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."

    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 »

    Overview

    Reduxio's HX550 flash hybrid storage arrays, based on Reduxio's TimeOS storage operating system allow you to recover application data to any second in the past, eliminates most of the complexity associated with managing storage, and provides exceptional performance and efficiency, far exceeding anything available today.

Unitrends leverages high-availability hardware and software engineering, cloud economics, enterprise power with consumer-grade design, and customer-obsessed support to natively provide all-in-one enterprise backup and continuity. The result is a “one throat to choke” set of offerings that allow our customers to focus on their business rather than backup.
