Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it."
"The recovery options in Microsoft 365 are not adequate and it does not help to recover data from the recycle bin that is older than 90 days. The solution has made us more efficient and helps to recover data that is older than 90 days."
"The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes."
"The initial setup is super easy."
"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"What I like the most about it's the ease of use and the reliability that it has when copying information to the cloud."
"The user interface is the most valuable. It gives us the ability to check everything. With more than 100 endpoints running that software, I like the ability to quickly check that everything is working correctly. That's one of the biggest selling points."
"One of the bigger features and advantages of the solution is that it is easy to integrate with my RMM which is also N-able."
"It's their cloud, it's their storage. I don't have to buy a space on Amazon or Google's cloud and then use their software to push it. That works well for me. This way, I don't have to worry about another option or the opportunity that there might be a credential leak."
"The initial setup of N-able Cove Data Protection was very easy."
"The most valuable feature is that it's hands-off. I log in every morning and there are pre-canned filters that I've created to make my life easier. I have something called server status color bars, and that gives me all the servers and, in a nutshell, I can see: if any errors are being reported; when the last backup was; if one is not working, should there be one, and it literally jumps off the page."
"The most valuables feature is the alerts and monitoring that catches the failed backups."
"We use a neat feature called VDR status, Virtual Disaster Recovery status. It only works on servers... It's automated. Once or twice a month it will virtually mount the backup and provide a screenshot and advise whether or not there have been any errors."
"Some customers choose other backup solutions because AvePoint is Office 365 and CRM backup system, but they have other backup needs for Azure and so on. Such customers often choose another backup solution instead of AvePoint."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"The component in the product that can be improved revolves around the area where the tool should focus on providing more of a custom touch to the policies."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"The restoration could be faster."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"We would like to have better reporting."
"There could be a possibility to create a local NAS backup for infrastructure."
"The only area that needs improvement is that it is a little bit difficult when you get into virtual machines. The initial deployment of Cove is a little tedious, not for standard machines, but when you get into specialty stuff, like Hyper-V."
"A disaster recovery console would be an improvement for the product."
"The recovery side, the restore side, could be a little more optimized."
"Having the licensing available for partners to be able to take advantage of testing without paying would make a big difference."
"I have some issues with the agent failing on workstations. I've had to completely uninstall several of them, delete everything, and start over to get them to work."
"A feature I'd like to see would be a more customizable admin console."
