Currently, we use Unity300 for image and video storage with the MAM - Alfred system and for Backup, together with the Bacula Enterprise tool, and we also use it in one of our Vmware clusters, where we run less critical applications. Unity has always been stable and, until today, with 5 years of use, it has not presented any type of failure, working on a 24x7 basis. It's a great product that delivers what it promises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Unity XT? My dissatisfaction is with regard to the value of the product. It's extremely expensive. Support is also very expensive, but it is a product that we can do without. There's also the fact that he's coming to the EOL, if I'm not mistaken, in 2025. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Unity XT: Unity is a great piece of equipment to have in on-premise format, however, as I mentioned earlier, the product requires a high investment. If that's not a problem for you, he will serve you excellently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Unity XT solving and how is that benefiting you? It guarantees data availability thanks to its hardware and disk redundancy mechanism, proactive support and easy configuration. With a short training, it's very simple to set it up and maintain it.

Manager & Sr. Engineer, Technology Operations Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/27/2021 "Very good storage for Virtualization (VMWare)" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Unity XT? Much better GUI which connects seamlessly with vCenter. Also it allows for firmware upgrades and drive firmware upgrades to go much smoother. IQCloud is a great indicator of when something is not going as expected. It also provides help in terms of vulnerabilities since it provided with the proper information and link to the firmware upgrade required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Unity XT? It would be nice to have a snap in on vCenter itself. Also, domain authentication is a bit of an issue. For example, once you allow domain authentication, you would expect to type username and password on the login screen. However, you need to use the format user@domain which in itself is not too problematic, but the username is actually case sensitive. So if your username has upper case, for normal Windows logon it is not a problem, but for this it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Unity XT: We have been using this product for about a year and I can say that we have never had any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Unity XT solving and how is that benefiting you? We used to havea VNX appliance, and when we needed to create a Datastore and add it to VMWare, it involved way too many steps. Also the VNX interface was very outdated. Once we upgraded it to Unity, the GUI interface was more streamlined and easy to manage. Also adding datastores is no longer an issue as we can do this very easily and without any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
