Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This is a stable solution."
"It has a lot of stock reports. I believe over 300 canned reports, which for the most part meet a lot of generic needs."
"The reporting feature and the Dell's continuous improvement of the solution are the most valuable features. The solution not only supports Dell Power Products but also other products."
"I can increase the tool's licensing as per my requirement with no conditions applied."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible and has a lot of out-of-the-box functionality. You can configure the dashboards or you can use a script. However, to fully utilize its capabilities you will want to use a lot of scripts which you will need advanced training. The reports can be customized for many things, such as chargeback billing."
"The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"The platform's most valuable features are data protection and retention."
"They have great support."
"When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one."
"Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately."
"The predictive analytics are great and the reporting is awesome."
"Stability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration."
"VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"Customization of reports or creating new reports can be difficult. Users need to have a deep knowledge of SQL. 70-80% of customers can't seem to understand how to do it. They don't know how to address reporting. If Dell EMC could simplify it, it would benefit the end-user."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"It's a bit difficult for first-time users."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
"There is a steep learning curve to use the interface and to create new reports, this could be made easier. If the solution could provide more drag and drop functionality to build more advanced reports that would be very helpful."
"It is difficult to manage the solution with the available tools. You need to know exactly what are you are doing."
"The solution requires more integration with our other solutions. I know that they have full integration with VMware because it is also from EMC. However, we have to have better integration with Microsoft and Nutanix as well."
"The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive."
"Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago."
"The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
"It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market."
"There are a few quirks where the GUI, agent, and back-end are not precisely meshed."
"I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added."
"The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
