Unitrends Backup and Recovery provides a centralized way to manage backup operations while maintaining flexibility across different environments and recovery scenarios. The recovery options are one of the stronger aspects of the platform because they allow restoration at multiple levels without requiring overly complicated workflows. We also appreciate the monitoring and alerting visibility, which helps identify failed jobs or storage concerns before they become larger issues. The platform has generally been reliable for maintaining backup consistency across physical and virtual systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some administrative tasks and recovery workflows can feel more time-consuming than expected, especially when working through larger environments or less common restore situations. The interface can occasionally feel dated in certain sections, and reporting customization could be more flexible for operational review or customer-facing summaries. Initial configuration and long-term storage planning may also require more tuning than newer cloud-native backup platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kaseya, ever since Kaseya acquired Unitrends the support platform seems to have changed to offshore support. They used to offer fast helpful support over the phone with a quick 1 minute verification, and now there is twenty-to-thirty minutes of verifying whether our account has paid for support, then finally speaking to a person whose English is not their first, or even second language.

The efficiency of the deduplication and compression has always impressed and the backups also seemed to complete reasonable expediently too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We found that while the solution was effective the step-up from one appliance to another when reaching storage limits is a significant jump, and overall the solution was also expensive compared to software-only solutions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Unitrends with our current VMWare implementation. It integrates well to back up the entire hypervisors. I like using Unitrends Backup and Recovery as it offers a user-friendly interface. The deduplication feature is really handy for saving storage space. I appreciate the backup copy to the cloud as it plays a huge role in ensuring business continuity. The instant recovery feature is very valuable because it allows us to launch the servers at any point in time in the past, which is crucial for our operations. Overall, I find the system reliable. We've been running Unitrends for about 13 years and it saved us several times. We were given a good price for the full product with support which makes it worth it.

Unitrends doesn't fully support Proxmox, which is essential for us going forward. We are looking to either change the backup solution or go with another virtualization solution. We might have to go with Microsoft instead of Proxmox, which is not ideal. Support can be hit or miss, with some engineers being qualified and others refusing to properly do their jobs.

I like that Unitrends Backup and Recovery works very consistently with very few problems. I use a virtual Unitrends appliance, and it reliably lets me know when there are updates, so I can keep everything up to date. I find restorations fairly easy to set up, and I appreciate the ability to restore to a separate virtual server rather than overwriting the existing one. It's great that I can set up retention policies across all the backups or have different policies for each server. I also appreciate that the backups happen smoothly with little or minimal intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the virtual appliance version, I find it frustrating that in a virtual environment, where you can normally move virtual servers from one physical host to another or take snapshots of virtual machines, you are not allowed to do that with the virtual Unitrends appliance, as it will corrupt things. In a VMware environment, the snapshot process is so good and reliable, you can move almost any virtual server at any time. But you cannot do that with the Unitrends virtual appliance virtual server. It would be nice if the system did a better job of notifying before the disk space becomes an issue. Recovering from a system where you run out of space interrupts backups and requires Unitrends support team assistance. The initial setup was a bit challenging, as we ended up having to go through the process a couple of times before we got the system working solidly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are constant updates offering new features and security enhancements, as well as bug fixes. Unitrends Backup and recovery offers unique features that are hard to find in any competitive solution. What we think is amazing is the offered capability if instant recovery. This is where you get to select any of the available image based backups you have made and boot it up on the appliance itself (if you have one as we do) or on any hypervisor. This can be done either in audit mode to check the backup image or in productive mode as a disaster recovery scenario! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
