Benjamin Duran IT Helpdesk Technician in Information Technology at Bank of the Plains (Financial Services, 51-200 employees) Chose Unitrends To me it was a better and more cost effective solution. The cost to backup our data was cheaper. I liked the options it gave me. I was able to replicate between sites and backup to the cloud. I know that Veeam has the same features but the cost of unitrends was lower. It was … Incentivized Helpful?

Incentivized Helpful? Dan Watson IT Infrastructure/System Administrator in Information Technology at CNH Industrial Reman (Machinery, 201-500 employees) Chose Unitrends While all of the products I evaluate could do the job and I have experience with them all, Unitrends' solution is just easier and more affordable. All solutions have negatives, but Unitrends' are so easy to live with that I had no reason to make a change. I'd also put their … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Unitrends We compared Unitrends to Barracuda and selected Unitrends based [on] total cost over a three-year period. The Barracuda product was more than double the cost over the same three-year period. Additionally, both appliances offer similar feature sets and support, but the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Unitrends The experience has been much better than Veritas Backup Exec and Veeam. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Unitrends 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 Incentivized Helpful? Tanay Arora Software Engineer in Information Technology at GREAT FUTURE TECHNOLOGY PRIVATE LIMITED (Information Technology & Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Unitrends We previously used Veritas Backup Exec for our backup solutions. It uses USB 2.0 for a backup solution, which was very slow and unreliable to use as compared to Unitrends Data Backup and Recovery. Doing the backup over the network delivers a speedy backup, which is not possible … Incentivized Helpful? Dan Reynolds Senior System Administrator in Information Technology at BLDD Architects (Architecture & Planning, 51-200 employees) Chose Unitrends 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Unitrends We recently replaced Veeam Backup and Replication with Unitrends. The change was not too cumbersome, and I feel that we are to the point now where we are getting proper backups. They both seem to do the same thing from what I can tell. They both handle backup of bare metal … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Unitrends Four years ago, Unitrends MSP was reasonable and met our needs, so we signed a 5-year contract. In my opinion, there are cheaper and just as good companies now. In hindsight, I believe we probably should have signed a shorter contract. It met a need that we had and were … Incentivized Helpful? Samuel-Borris James Digital support officer at HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) (Government Administration, 10,001+ employees) Chose Unitrends There is no such comparison between Zerto and Unitrends MSP as the features and ease Unitrends has given us are wondrous. We can now manage our backups and can get continuous backups. Zerto lacked many such features that we needed, most above all Zerto was quite complex … Incentivized Helpful? Troy Funte Senior Information Technology Audit Manager in Information Technology at Liberty Electronics, Inc (Electrical & Electronic Manufacturing, 201-500 employees) Chose Unitrends Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery is a better backup solution than Synology DS, but much more expensive. We utilize both in our company. Synology DS has a great backup software called Active Backup for Business that is very easy to use and includes deduplication. The … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Unitrends We have not used or tested any other products. Unitrends was already in place when I was hired. We are happy with what we have in place and do not see us making any changes other than upgrading or replacing equipment that is at end of life. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Unitrends It has been years since we implemented the product, I do not have records of any other products we tested at that time. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Unitrends They are similar, Datto is a great fit for smaller businesses I feel, they have a great space in multiple sites and have custom builds for larger business. However I feel some higher end enterprise level setups require larger devices. Education is a great spot oval for … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Unitrends We have a couple more years on our contract. Since we have purchased this, there are many more choices out there. Within the next year we will do research again to determine what will best suit our needs. We were glad to have this option when we purchased it. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Unitrends Symantec Backup Exec was the primary tool used for backups for years. We also used Veeam for some Office 365/Exchange backups.

Matthew Simpson PC/Network Technician in Information Technology at Lifecore Health Group (Hospital & Health Care, 201-500 employees) Chose Unitrends We previously used Backup Exec as our backup solution. It relied on USB 2.0 connections to backup data to removable proprietary hard drives that were used in a Dell removable drive system. It was very slow and unreliable compared to Unitrends. Doing the backups over the network … Incentivized Helpful? Bassem Rawas Director of IT in Information Technology at Techspan Industries Inc (Electrical & Electronic Manufacturing, 51-200 employees) Chose Unitrends 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, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Unitrends We have used Unitrends for quite some time and enjoy the application. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Unitrends From looking at the demo a few years back Veeam had some nice AD integrations that Unitrends lacks. However, for us the difference in pricing was too much to justify going with Veeam over Unitrends. Our main consultant does not have engineers that are familiar with Unitrends, … Incentivized Helpful? Lauren Benson IT Director / Office Manager in Information Technology at AIPMH (Hospital & Health Care, 11-50 employees) Chose Unitrends Unitrends [Data Center Backup and Recovery] has a much better UI. It's easy to navigate. Barracuda was a little pricey, and if you were to reduce your backup size under the current tier, you had to call in to get them to adjust the space requirements on the bill. They were … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Unitrends Rather poorly. But I don't think they are competing for the same market. Incentivized Helpful?
