More Unitrends Pros →

"The most valuable feature is that the backup and restoring process is very fast.""The solution is useful for backups.""We rarely need their help. I would give their technical support an 8.5 out of ten. We are satisfied.""The policy-based backup feature is very helpful.""I think the solution is very intuitive, effective, and easy to use.""They are a large company with good best practices, and they give good support.""The NetBackup appliance features customized software that is designed for storage.""The initial setup gets easier the more you do it."

Cons
"I would like to see more storage options for the free version.""It would be great to have the job throttle/limit the max number of backups on a single ESXi host.""The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs.""The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive.""I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added.""There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data.""Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing.""Unitrends can be challenging to scale."

More Unitrends Cons →

"They could simplify the process of installing, and provide more space for data during the process.""I would like the ability to recover a single folder within the backup of a virtual machine.""More licensing options could be introduced to the software. It is currently based on capacity only. Compared to competitors, it is difficult to position it economically everywhere. From the usability point of view, they are making many improvements on new interfaces, the SaaS offering, etc.""Technical support for this solution needs to be improved.""It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system.""It's an expensive solution.""Sometimes, the user interface doesn't work smoothly.""The NetBackup software is based on Red Hat Linux, but we should have multiple software options for that. We should have more OS options. Also, there are too many tools and intermediaries. Everything should be built into an all-in-one solution."
