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 only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"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"
"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 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 product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"The spin-up of a VM within a test environment for backup testing along with quick restores."
"Instead of four different solutions for protecting VMs, physical servers, SQL, and NAS, we now have one solution with Cohesity that is lightning fast and has amazing features."
"A robust, verifiable backup with a restore solution, which decreases our backup and has a restore window."
"Cohesity is extremely easy to use and intuitive."
"No longer does it take several hours to backup a VM or troubleshoot a backup issue."
"It offers an easy, quick backup and restore of files and VMs. Also, the "Google-like " search for files is awesome."
"I found value in the instant recovery with DataMove. I found value in the protection group model for applying policies to VMs. And in the overall UI navigation and the way that the application is laid out in the web browser."
"Cohesity has very simple reports to help you stay in the know of which servers are being backed up or not."
"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."
"The restoration could be faster."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
"The one area where we would like to see additional improvements is with reporting. There are very granular reports from each grid. There are also some built-in reports within Helios (SAS Management Console) that offers basic reporting. However, for complex, large-enterprise environments, a more robust reporting engine that supports detailed audit reporting and enhanced ad hoc reports would be welcome."
"For Oracle DBs, we have observed a few bugs. This can be done better."
"We are waiting on the AIX agent to be released."
"Their UI requires a manual refresh. It doesn't seem like it updates itself sometimes when you're moving from screens or waiting for a change to take effect, so you have to manually refresh."
"In terms of the product itself, there have been a handful of patches that have had to be applied outside of the GUI via the command line. It's very straightforward and easy and in the same redundant fashion, but not quite as simple as one or two clicks. I'm hoping that will decrease going forward."
"Better documentation is needed because the lack of information has necessitated having our team depend more heavily on Cohesity support."
"A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often."
