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."The flexibility. Being able to virtualize it, port it wherever I like, test my backups, test my DR capabilities whenever I like without impacting anybody."
"It's pretty simple. Once you set it, it goes; and then the idea of being able to get it to the cloud very quickly. It's kind of a set-it-forget-it."
"You can store backups for a while."
"Being able to move data seamlessly from one-premise to the cloud (Azure). It works great. The backup solution is perfect for us."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data. You're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"Backup/archive to multiple locations."
"It is fairly stable."
"The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof."
"The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks."
"The ability to backup both physical and virtual machines, along with having an appliance store the backups locally instead of on a file server, NAS, or SAN."
"What I found most valuable in Unitrends is its simple user interface. It also works reliably."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"If you are a large organization, this is a product for you."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"It would be nice if the solution was more complete. Many customers are looking for a single solution or silo that they can manage everything from. It would be nice, instead of having different products, if everything a client needed was in one solution."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"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 solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
"Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution."
"It could be a little more customizable."
"Unitrends can be challenging to scale."
"It would be great to have the job throttle/limit the max number of backups on a single ESXi host."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
