Unitrends Benefits

Using Unitrends has significantly improved our organization's functionality. The onboarding process was helpful, and now I can create scripts for virtual machines. With the sandbox environment, I can test functions like pinging between the domain controller and file server, transferring files, and checking SQL Server queries—all from the backup without affecting our live environment. The automated process provides a detailed report, giving me confidence in the backup's reliability for potential restores. It is a great peace of mind to see everything in the green.
Other than getting daily email reports to review the status of success or failure backups of individual physical or virtual servers in our environment, we do not have to worry about the backups.

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.

The whole appliance needs to be more resilient. It lost our database, and that is something that cannot happen. If the data was written and managed a little better, we would not lose our entire backup. A bit more thought needs to be put into the process.
View full review »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.

Unitrends is efficient of running virtual machines and Physical servers inside it with a feature called instant recovery. With this, my business critical machines almost will never stop. Unitrends changed my backup window to half the time spent before and the space used too, the de-duplication is very high

With Unitrends we can spin up devices into a VM in about five minutes' time. The disaster recovery time is very quick. Even while we are busy fixing hardware, we still have a running machine. That minimizes the loss of service. Something that usually took two hours now takes only five minutes on the server.
