Unitrends Pricing

Todd Guthrie - PeerSpot reviewer
Director Of Information Technology at Creation Technologies

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.

When we renew the Unitrends maintenance contract and update it to the latest version, the cost would be $5,000 per year. We don't want to venture into a project where, two years from now, we have to search for a new backup system because Unitrends will be EOL in two years. We'd instead present a cohesive package to the executive committee, so we're hesitant to continue with Unitrends.

There are no hidden costs. They've been transparent with the costs.

Based on a scale of one to ten, with one being low and ten being high, I would rate the pricing of this solution as a three. Also, there are no additional costs involved in the standard licensing of the solution.

I would rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten. The licensing is yearly and it depends on the customers.

Unitrends licensing depended on the number of CPUs you had, simple.

It was competitive with other products. I think it was around $1000 a CPU a year. We have about 40 CPUs so It was costing us about $40,000 a year — that was our renewal price. I think the initial price may have been more. We didn't buy their hardware. We built our own and deployed their solution on our hardware, which was a blessing and a curse.

When you purchase initially, get into the program which gives replacement hardware for free when you renew your support agreement. It makes the renewal down the road so much easier to cost justify.

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.

The cost of Unitrends definitely draws you in. The licensing is all included in the appliance, which is a great incentive.

Their pricing is okay, however, they need to bring it down a bit to be more competitive.

I think it's a decent platform to go with; I don't have any issues with it. I guess the one thing that I would say is get a bigger unit than what they recommend because if I had done that, I wouldn't need to be upgrading now; I could have stayed with the same size.

Make sure you do the homework to size the solution properly. Buy the Enterprise Plus licensing if you can afford it.

Consider the Enterprise Plus license, it adds a few extra analytics and reporting that will provide you with a little more insight into your RPO and RTOs.

Licensing costs appear high for hardware devices and software, when compared to other solutions. But in the long run, they're not, because you get free hardware replacement after three or five years. It's not an easy comparison, but it is more cost effective in the long run than most other solutions. You don't need new licensing every year.

For hardware devices, you pay a per seat or per call licensing structure. There are no other hidden costs like you have with a lot of other products. The upfront licensing is very simple to understand.

The nice thing with this appliance is you do not have to worry about server licencing, and it's separate from the SAN.

Initial pricing is competitive. Renewal pricing is steep, so make sure to project costs for the lifetime of the appliance(s).
