Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup is super easy.""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.""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.""It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup.""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."

"Most importantly is having that island into that datacenter, and being able to address things in the same console. Thus, it is irrelevant where it's stored.""The flexibility. Being able to virtualize it, port it wherever I like, test my backups, test my DR capabilities whenever I like without impacting anybody.""It's so easy to work with.""The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system.""The deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data.""The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support.""Being able to move data seamlessly from one-premise to the cloud (Azure). It works great. The backup solution is perfect for us.""It's pretty simple. Once you set it, it goes; and then the idea of being able to get it to the cloud very quickly. It's kind of a set-it-forget-it."

Cons
"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.""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.""For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works.""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.""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."

More AvePoint Cloud Backup Cons →

"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture.""I would like to see more web support.""More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out.""I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have.""It would be nice if the solution was more complete. Many customers are looking for a single solution or silo that they can manage everything from. It would be nice, instead of having different products, if everything a client needed was in one solution.""There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good.""The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult.""What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
  • "It is very good for many of my customers in the banking and finance segments. The price isn't a problem there, but in some other industries, people ask for a cheaper solution. When the price is an issue for the customer, we recommend Veeam, Metallic."
  • "The pricing part of the solution is based on a subscription model, which is based on the number of users or storage capacity."
  • "It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
  • "The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
  • "I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
  • More AvePoint Cloud Backup Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It's quite cost-effective."
  • "The pricing is not too bad, but could be a little better."
  • "It is a rather expensive program."
  • "You could compare it to a Dell EMC or ECS, and I think it's probably a little less costly than that. Within the marketplace, it's a medium cost."
  • "In one use case, and we have several, to run for a particular customer, the price is about $375,000 a year."
  • "There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution, which comes to around 3,000 USD."

    Overview

    AvePoint Cloud Backup is a comprehensive data protection solution designed to safeguard critical business data stored in Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365. It offers automated and secure backup and restore capabilities, ensuring that organizations can recover their data quickly in the event of accidental deletion, data corruption, or cyberattacks. With AvePoint Cloud Backup, businesses can easily manage and monitor their backup and restore processes through a centralized dashboard, enabling efficient data protection and compliance management. 

    This solution also provides granular recovery options, allowing users to restore individual files, folders, or entire sites with ease. AvePoint Cloud Backup offers flexible retention policies, enabling organizations to meet their specific data retention requirements. 

    Additionally, it provides advanced security features such as encryption and multi-factor authentication to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of backed-up data. 

    With its user-friendly interface and robust features, AvePoint Cloud Backup is a reliable and efficient solution for organizations seeking comprehensive data protection for their Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365 environments.

    NetApp AltaVault is a cloud-integrated storage solution created to increase recovery capabilities and lower cost and risks. It is better than traditional backup and recovery solutions because they are considerably slower, more expensive, risky, and can be too complex for the comprehension of many users. NetApp AltaVault solves issues related to backup, archival, and restoration. Compared to on-premises solutions, this software claims to be up to 90% less expensive while solving multiple issues related to data storage in the cloud. AltaVault presents three solutions to its customers: backup and recovery, cold storage and archives, and disaster recovery.

    1. NetApp’s backup and recovery solution works with Kerne-Based Virtual Machine, Microsoft Hyper-V, and VMware vSphere, creating a solution for mid-sized businesses as well as for bigger companies that want to protect their offices in different locations. The usable local cache capacities of this solution range from 32TB to 383TB, providing clients with enough storage for their important data while giving them the option to retrieve it if something goes amiss.

      2. NetApp AltaVault can be configured in cold storage mode and used for data that is not often used. The solution is scalable, thus allowing minimal costs for operating with cold data and allowing fast access to it at the same time.

        3. AltaVault offers disaster recovery for Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. Your data will be secured on the cloud, providing you with a secure backup if the need for disaster recovery arises.

          NetApp AltaVault Features

          NetApp AltaVault’s many valued features include:

          • Data reduction: NetApp AltaVault applies deduplication and compression, reducing data up to a 30:1 ratio.

          • Network and cloud optimization: AltaVault can increase data transfer speed by up to 4 times due to its built-in WAN optimization.

          • Data restoration: Because data is restored from the local cache, recoverability is up to 32 times faster than other methods.

          • Deployment and scale: Users can choose their preferred method - virtual, physical, or cloud-based in Azure or AWS. Since NetApp AltaVault starts at 2TB and can scale up to 57PB, it is one of the most scalable products in its category.

          • Compatible with existing backup software: NetApp AltaVault is compatible with NetApp SnapMirror, EMC, IBM, Commvault, Veritas, and Veeam, meaning it offers a vast array of options for its users when it comes to backup software.

          • Cloud choice and agility: AltaVault supports NetApp StorageGRID, Azure, Google, IBM, and AWS. This provides users with the assurance that their data is safely stored, even if their cloud provider experiences technical issues.

          The benefits of using NetApp AltaVault include:

          • Efficient solution for data reduction
