Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a very good and easy-to-use tool for non-technical people."

More NovaStor NovaBACKUP Pros →

"When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one.""The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks.""I really like the reporting options you get for various email reports.""Stability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten.""It is fairly stable.""I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside.""They have great support.""What I found most valuable in Unitrends is its simple user interface. It also works reliably."

Cons
"The price of NovaStor NovaBACKUP is an area that can be considered as a weakness or drawback, where improvements are required."

More NovaStor NovaBACKUP Cons →

"It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market.""Network-based storage stability could be improved.""It could be a little more customizable.""No appliance update notifications.""The solution's base operating system needs to be improved.""In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses.""Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find.""I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added."

  • More NovaStor NovaBACKUP Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Make sure you do the homework to size the solution properly. Buy the Enterprise Plus licensing if you can afford it."
  • "When you purchase initially, get into the program which gives replacement hardware for free when you renew your support agreement."
  • "Initial pricing is competitive. Renewal pricing is steep, so make sure to project costs for the lifetime of the appliance(s)."
  • "Talk with the sales guys. They can work with you on the best package."
  • "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."
  • "The cost of Unitrends definitely draws you in. The licensing is all included in the appliance, which is a great incentive."
  • "Pricing model constantly changes."
  • "You should be aware how much the monthly costs are to use, what the initial costs for hardware are, and what the options to expand are, if needed."
