Fast data recovery for large scale datasets

The Infiniguard (dedicated disc storage), offers a petabyte of storage space for on-site disc storage for backups. Because of this, we were able to get rid of our tapes. Essentially, it replaced our tape backups. We're definitely going to be buying another INFINIDAT array. We do have another location that is going to be needing a new array sometime soon, so we'll be buying another one. The beautiful thing about them is that you can set them up to replicate for disaster recovery between the two of them and set up some nice replication jobs, site to site, for automatic database replication.

Daily recovery tests have validated restore readiness and ensured consistent data protection

The best features of Unitrends include the daily reporting functionality. When backups fail, it is obvious in the logs what caused the issue. Most times it is a credential problem, which is relatively easy to resolve. Though I have experienced a few more challenging issues, nothing has affected critical backup restore functionality. Every time I have needed to restore something, it has worked successfully. The support team is readily available when I need assistance, and they help walk me through issues, solving them within a reasonable timeframe. The automated backup scheduling feature has helped our organization in managing backup timelines and consistency by handling all the work automatically. We set the schedule, breaking things into smaller chunks since our main common area for files is large. I have staggered the backups so some areas receive more attention than others, particularly for less active data. Adding, removing, excluding, and inputting elements is straightforward. The system makes it simple to schedule portions and generate reports on their functionality. The impact of Unitrends' instant recovery features on strengthening data security measures is significant. I generally use instant recovery when restoring specific files or instances where we need data that has changed. The process involves loading the backup, selecting the desired version, waiting for it to unpack, and retrieving the file. Every restore attempt has been successful. I run instant recovery daily in test mode on two virtual machines. I use it to test my domain controller and file server to ensure they communicate properly in the test environment. This ensures that in case of failure, I can activate the recovery and restore server functionality.

More Unitrends pros

Cons

"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."

"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."

"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."

"Comparing the features and the working pattern, definitely they have to come down on pricing if they want to compete in the market."

"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."

"No appliance update notifications."

"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."

"In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."

"The ransomware detection from the appliance incorrectly identifies one of my machines as infected with ransomware."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"Talk with the sales guys. They can work with you on the best package."

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

"Their licensing depended on the number of CPUs you had."

"When you purchase initially, get into the program which gives replacement hardware for free when you renew your support agreement."

"Unitrends is an expensive solution."

"We found that the cost of Unitrends was about the same as the Dell DR6300. We liked the fact that the Unitrends appliance was all-in-one."

"With respect to cost, my advice is to get what you need."
