- Cloud replication - Remote management of clients - Reporting - Iinstant recovery (allows a spin-up of your image as a VM on the appliance).How has it helped my organization?
This product has given us the ability to remote manage, monitor and report multiple client sites . We have relied on this appliance several times to recover our clients from Crytpo viruses that have locked their files for ransom.What needs improvement?
Pushing the client to Windows 8 and Server 2012, no appliance update notifications, more stable pricing model, no support for dual VPN utilization (required for cloud replication and remote monitoring which cannot be done simultaneously).2 comments

It is very easy to set up and get started. Almost too easy. We racked this device and had it up and running in less than 15 minutes. The racking of the appliance took the longest, as it is heavy.How has it helped my organization?
VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs.What needs improvement?
We have a huge VMware infrastructure with multiple hosts that use local storage. Backup jobs of VMs seem to target one host at a time, so if there are 10 VMs on that host getting backed up, it hammers that ESXi host until sometimes the jobs... more»

Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately.How has it helped my organization?
We had a pretty solid backup platform before. I wouldn't say Unitrends made anything better, besides ditching Symantec's per TB licensing model and saving us a lot of money.What needs improvement?
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. I think maybe Unitrends' support teams are too small for the size of their customer... more»Jun 13 2018

The scheduling and event viewer is easy to use and a helpful item when setting up new servers to be backed up. It determines what errors are being generated as a result of an issue.How has it helped my organization?
Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration. Before, we only had the file structure backing up on a nightly basis and were utilizing bare metals. Unitrends has drastically cut down... more»What needs improvement?
The amount of updates which are being released. We were running 9.2 for the longest time when 10 came out. We were advised to upgrade, then two weeks later, we were told to wait. Since version 10 came out, there have been multiple versions... more»

Improvements to My Organization Less headaches to worry about backups. 99% of the time, I don't have to touch it. Set up the jobs and let it go. 1% is the setup of new backups and verification the new backups work. • Valuable Features Backup and restore Replication to Forever Cloud Tech support • Room for Improvement Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago. • Stability Issues Yes. I was backing up too much information. Changed from doing two physical appliances, one local, and one remote to two local and a Forever Cloud for remote. This doubled our storage space for backups and solved the problem. • Scalability Issues No. • Customer Service and Technical Support Customer Service: ...

Primary Use Case We use this solution to back up both physical and virtual environments in and out of the office. • Improvements to My Organization Easier to track and set up new backups due to its coverage of both physical and virtual environments (or we would have needed two separate solutions). • Valuable Features The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof. Its cloud backup capability. • Room for Improvement Network-based storage stability could be improved. • Stability Issues I had some issues early on with network-based storage dropping connections, therefore corrupting the backups. • Scalability Issues No issues. • Customer Service and Technical Support A 10 out 10. Whenever I have had issues, the customer service...Nov 26 2017

Primary Use Case We use it to back up files and virtual machine (VM) instances. • Improvements to My Organization It works as expected the vast majority of the time. This is an improvement over other products that seem to break with the slightest change in the environment. • Valuable Features The simple and fast restore routine. • Room for Improvement There are a few quirks where the GUI, agent, and back-end are not precisely meshed. The new OS may have fixed those issues, however. • Stability Issues No issues. • Scalability Issues No issues. • Customer Service and Technical Support Excellent. • Previous Solutions We used software-only products. There were a number of incidents where the compatibility with the hardware was not a 100 percent. ...Articles
