Pros
"It is an easy system to use. The support, if needed, is always willing to help.""Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration.""I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features.""The simple and fast restore routine.""When I have had to use tech support, they've been very good.""The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files.""The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof.""If you are a large organization, this is a product for you."

More Unitrends Pros →

"The technical support is good.""The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly.""It's stable and reliable.""Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware.""The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward.""The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup.""The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days.""It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."

Cons
"There are a few quirks where the GUI, agent, and back-end are not precisely meshed.""The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive.""The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved.""​​Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago.""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.""Comparing the features and the working pattern, definitely they have to come down on pricing if they want to compete in the market.""No appliance update notifications."

More Unitrends Cons →

"There is a compatibility issue with HCI.""In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location.""It could use deduplication features.""In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud.""It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though.""In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well.""I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server.""The integration needs improvement."
