"This solution allows me to restore either the VM or the data, depending on what is needed."
"First of all, you can schedule a backup for the client. You can schedule it as you like. You can also control the bandwidth, so the backup will not utilize. The internet will depend on the bandwidth."
"The best aspect of the solution is its backup functionality."
"I like the product's restoration cases."
"The backup features are very useful."
"The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"The storage backup is very efficient."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately."
"The predictive analytics are great and the reporting is awesome."
"It is very easy to set up and get started. Almost too easy. We racked this device and had it up and running in less than 15 minutes."
"When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one."
"Stability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"When I have had to use tech support, they've been very good."
"Replication to Forever Cloud."
"Lacks an AI system that would enable easier upgrading of the hardware."
"It doesn't have the option to have a backup from the database. It has backup for the files, folders, and backup only the whole virtual machine. But if I need to do a backup from the Oracle database, from an Exchange server or from SharePoint, this ability isn't there. There is no application backup."
"The product could improve its performance."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
"Azure lacks sufficient solutions for a particular scenario, we may need to resort to using third-party applications. In such cases, these applications can be employed to facilitate backup, replication, and the efficient utilization of internet connectivity and bandwidth. They enable us to effectively manage and transfer data while ensuring optimal utilization of network resources. However, it would be a benefit if we did not have to use third-party applications for these operations."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"I would like to see more automation, integration, and security. The price could be better."
"It still does not have a lot of customization, especially if your workloads are not in Azure."

"It could be a little more customizable."
"Comparing the features and the working pattern, definitely they have to come down on pricing if they want to compete in the market."
"The solution's base operating system needs to be improved."
"The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive."
"Network-based storage stability could be improved."
"Unitrends can be challenging to scale."
