Unitrends UB software makes management of backup sets very simple, Backup Exec was incredibly difficult to manage. It was reliable, but recovery was a daunting process, it always worked, but never seemed certain. CrashPlan is an excellent alternative for a smaller footprint, it …
Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery provide more features than Synology DiskStation. Unlike the Synology DiskStation it has instant recovery features and can backup databases, Microsoft SQL, etc. Both are capable of deduplication and compression and can backup VMWare …
Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery's artificial intelligence plays a major role in all
the appliances that run a scanning procedure during each and every backup to analyze
the change logs of the files and identify if the backups are infected by
I know many, many people use Veeam. And for years, there were free versions and such. For some reason, Veeam and I didn't get along well. I didn't like all the extra parts and pieces to make it work. Unitrends [Data Center Backup and Recovery] is one simple appliance. As I've …
Veeam seems like a decent product which may cost a little more, Dell EMC Networker is a good product, but the interface is very clunky and difficult to navigate, while also being a much more expensive solution. I believe they are all good products. Based on reviews, …
Too many gotchas/network hiccups with other options we've used. The Unitrends solution leverages the native storage subsystems which no performance impact during backup/replications. Azure Backup is too expensive for our needs.
We selected Unitrends over the competitors due to a culmination of factors in the aggregate we determined was important. The balance of pricing, features, options, support and reviews from peers all worked to help us decide to go with Unitrends. In the end of our search we …
We used Data Protector for at least a decade before moving to Unitrends. we like DP a lot but at time of migration they didn't have a few features for virtualized items. I understand DP does not. If DP had the needed features we would have probably stayed with DP. Luckily …
We tried some less-than-Enterprise level solutions like Iperius and Duplicati, but we settled on a Veeam-based solution for the long term. Unitrends has some good parts and is way better than the lower level solutions, but the price of upgrading was way way out of our budget …
They are both similar in nature. I think Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery may be easier to configure and monitor. Veeam seems to need a bit more product understanding in order to fully implement.Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery is more intuitive. Tech …
Compare to the competition, I found that Unitrends Data [Center] Backup and Recovery works without need for constant attention. It does not need high end hardware to run on, compared to the competition, also. Our VDP installation had to be rebuilt almost monthly. It came with a …
I found that Unitrends offered the most secure appliance and provided us with the most control administratively. The versatility of their backup solution and their excellent support makes it easy for me to completely endorse Unitrends.
After reviewing other backup solutions prior to deciding on Unitrends backup systems, I have a chance to evaluate and learned it’s pro and con on each backup system as well as comparing pricing. Unitrends was the best choice at the time for what I need to replace my old backup …
Compared Unitrends amongst other vendors. We liked their sales presentation and the product seemed to provide more Return on Investment as compared with other vendors.
I laid out some simple requirements going into this process. I wanted to be able to back up my Hyper-V environment (just two standalone hosts) including the VM's and the hosts themselves (the OS at least, not the vhd/vhdx files of course), 1-2 bare metal servers that were still …
Unitrends appliance works well it has recovery verification, can be backed up to multiple destinations. Can be differential or always incremental. Can be backed up to the cloud from the same console. Snapshots can be taken of the VM and the backups are compressed using …
VEEAM is the product that I decided to go to from Unitrends recently, as it is something that I have relied on in past companies. I am happy with the backups, however they do take up a lot more space than what Unitrends has provided. Barracuda does not have the same ROI as …
We have evaluated Veeam and Clumio as alternatives to Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery. We choose to stay with Unitrends' solution as their customer support and appliance work very well within our environment for maintaining backups for our physical servers. Unitrend's …
With feature improvements in recent years, Unitrends has become a great bang for your buck back up solution. Veeam is still a leader in the industry but with its feature set and pricing, Unitrends has been a great purchase for our organization. I feel confident in its ability …
Veeam product is far too "clunky" and difficult to manage. Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery provides a much easier solution and gives the customer peace of mind knowing their data is protected. Symantec was built on an older system and not reliable, I went with …
The [Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery] solution sold themselves on an on-site solution that provides fast back-ups, quality compression, and deduplication rates. They also provide quality customer service and are timely whenever there is a need to have drives …
Unitrends is a also a good and reliable product, however after evaluating, our company leads with Veeam, due to research and development being first and foremost, allowing Veeam to be the leader in the industry.
Veeam is the best of software-only solutions. Carbonite and Mozy may have more economical pricing but require constant monitoring and maintenance to work well. Veeam is extremely reliable and easy to use. Barracuda Backup and Unitrends are primarily BDR appliances, while Unitren…
I would say that Veeam Backup & Replication can be set up in multiple different environment types. With u=Unitrends, there are specific things you need to do to make it work and it is so complex to get it configured to work properly. Veeam Backup & Replication seems to run …
Used and evaluated: Zerto, Actifio, Unitrends/Boomerang, Double-Take. Veeam platform with Veeam One Management Suite provide a complete and reliable solution to empower business continuity and DR processes. Perfect fit for Visualized Data Centers, intuitive, not heavy on …
ShadowProtect seemed to offer a lot of good options, and Datto is a great cheaper alternative if the heftier features of Veeam are not needed. However, Unitrends was a terrible experience all around. Unitrends support is pretty good, but there were a lot of broken backup job …
Datto is the easiest, but it's quite expensive. Shadowprotect used to be good, but SPX isn't very good at all. Unitrends we had nothing but problems with.
Unlike many of the vendors above, Veeam is providing a solution that scales from one workload to hundreds and fits comprehensively in any of the spaces between without compromising the core functionality and feature set that makes it such a great product. Veeam are confident in …
For some of the products we can say we compare this with Veeam every year, but until today we have no reason to switch over to another product. Veeam is rolled out in our organization and every admin can work with the Veeam products, so there's no need to switch (yet!).
Veeam Backup & Replication is a software backup that just works. It's simple to set up. Coming from an appliance to a software backup has definitely been different. Our appliance vendor had better support, but I liked that I was not tied down to a specific vendor for my storage …
We have a traditional stack and pretty typical needs as a manufacturer. I have used and evaluated everything out there, but the Unitrends solution fits very well and was competitively priced. I would think if it fits us, it could fit anyone like us with a similar stack.
We have a small deployment with a handful of physical hosts and two dozen or so virtual servers. It's been a perfect fit for us to manage all those backups and to restore entire systems from or even pull specific files/folders from a backup as needed if just a few things need changed/rolled back.
Errors on backup jobs could be more clearly explained. As the administrator of the device for my company, I often don't know what caused an error, and can't tell from the error information what happened or caused the error.
Updates of the devices should have an automatic option. It takes to much time to do an update to the devices if updates haven't been maintained.
Shutdown and restarting the device should be available from the main UI screen to eliminate some time when doing updates or if you're doing some maintenance on the device.
We have grown very attached to the Unitrends appliances and their use for recovery and other file restoration needs as well as data archival, data replication to other appliance and data migration to other servers or long term storage requirements. The appliances work well and the support for them is very good as well.
I have used many other data backup products that are on the market. I trust the configuration options within Veeam to do as they are labeled, without any specific back end software changes that may cause backups to fail if you don't use a systems integrator.
I trust the product for my own home environment as well due to relationship I have with the product at work.
I have never used such an easy product that is stable and scalable like Unitrends. I have been running backups for MANY years. On premise, tape, disk, cloud, you name it. Unitrends is very flexible, stable and has incredible reporting features. It's nice when management requests a report and it takes you 5 minutes to run it and dump it to PDF. How can you beat that?
Veeam is fairly simple in terms of how it is set up; its not an overly-complicated dashboard that can be intimidating to less technically-inclined users. Veeam also offers good instructional videos to help users work through how to do specific functions. I appreciate that they have specific video tutorials rather than having users scroll through a cumbersome manual.
The Veeam Backup & Replication solution is up and running every time you need it as it was planned. In more than 3 years that we have been using the product every night, it might have failed or presented an error once or twice, so the availability percentage is almost at 100%.
Veeam does a good job with backing up our servers in a timely manner. We are still at the beginning of our Veeam use and are pleased with the speed at which we can access the system as well as the backups and restore points. Veeam is definitely superior to our previous backup system in terms of speed and accessibility
They're incredible, attentive, thorough. They make sure my issue is resolved and follow up. I'm usually behind on giving them a reply or an update. They have always gone above and beyond for me, and I'll continue to do the same for them.
The support team has never asked me to jump through silly hoops or waste time on pointless exercises. They seem to truly have a handle on what may be wrong. In fact, when we were having trouble getting our license renewal setup (because of yet another license migration at Veeam) a support incident got us connected to the right people to get our renewal done in time.
The Unitrends employees involved in the installation were very friendly and knowledgeable. A certain degree of hiccups can be expected during any installation but never shook my confidence because of the friendly and knowledgeable team that was assigned to my project.
(I assume this question should say "Veeam" and not "Crownpeak Universal Consent Platform") Planning is key. Planning your backup schedule, size, data restore points, replication if you're doing that, &c. Testing is also important; make sure you back something up and then do a test restore. Set up alerts so you know if things aren't working (or even if they are, always good to know that too).
Symantec Backup Exec was the primary tool used for backups for years. We also used Veeam for some Office 365/Exchange backups. Unitrends once configured and set up works very well against the competition. Backup Exec interface was more user friendly. The search tool for exploring backups was much better than Unitrends as well. Unitrends is much faster if you need to restore an entire VM or large file folders. Also once you have Unitrends all set up, it is very low maintenance, it just works. If something fails 9/10 it will correct itself on the next backup that is scheduled to run
We used Zerto and CA Arcserve to address these needs without migrating to Veeam Backup & Replication. Zerto is a very successful instant backup and we are still using it now. It does what Veeam application cannot do in instant replication. CA Arcserve, on the other hand, is clearly lagging behind the Veeam Backup & Replication product and does not meet today's requirements.
In terms of scalability for our company, Veeam was able to cover our backup needs with ease. They have options for even more individualized backup if we were to need them; i.e. if a specific workstation needs its own independent backup. We have not used these resources yet, but I am confident they will be beneficial to our company in the near future.
It has saved some deleted file server data for our business department.
We have lost some reports for the business department due to an overlooked setting that make the backup reports look great, but the server was not being backed up in reality.
Less anxiety for the IT department, we have backup plan and that is worth a lot to us.
Confidence before starting riskier maintenance windows is a large component of what veeam is able to offer for us
Some of the segmentation between different backup servers across our data enters causes unnecessary delays or backups that are duplicated unnecessarily
Lack of certain storage vendors being natively supported requires hacky workarounds not fit for a production environment
