Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it.""The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup.""The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes.""The product's initial setup phase was super easy.""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.""It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional""The initial setup is super easy.""It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."

Cons
"The restoration could be faster.""I would like to see improvements in the tool's initial seed. The initial seed of around 10 TB of SharePoint data took 45 days to complete.""It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments.""For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works.""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.""It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it.""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."

More AvePoint Cloud Backup Cons →

"The stability has room for improvement.""The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement.""The only thing that I would like to see improved is related to marketing. Currently, it is very difficult to find the right paper and stuff for me. Their marketing department should provide better information because currently, it is very difficult to find information on the internet. It was bought over by OpenText, and you won't be able to find a lot of information about this solution on their site. They should also provide training facilities for commercial purposes. Some of my colleagues recently went for pilot training, and they were technical. If I want to get trained, the training has to be more commercial. Currently, there is no such training for users like me.""They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases.""It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything.""In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option.""The support for object storage isn't quite there yet. Its public cloud support can be improved. I would love to see the public cloud support for object storage, and it would be great, but what I always hear from the folks at Carbonite is that in a lot of cases, it directly competes with their cloud offering. So, I don't know when or where that will go or if that will go anywhere, but we are hopeful to see something. The dashboard is a little outdated. If they gave it a facelift and put some better design around their dashboard, that would be tremendous. I generally care less about the visual aesthetics of an application as long as it does what it needed to do, which is true in the case of this solution. We also have the Microsoft 365 platform. Because they're two separate platforms, I have to log in to my Microsoft platform to manage it, and I have to log into my Carbonite server backup platform to manage it. Having these two coexist together in one management console is really what we're looking for, but we went for it knowing this. We also knew that there would be some integration coming down the road. So, we're again hoping to see some of that coming in 2021."
