Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional""The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup.""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 product's initial setup phase was super easy.""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.""It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."

More AvePoint Cloud Backup Pros →

"Scalability is very good.""NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology.""One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."

Cons
"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.""The restoration could be faster.""It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do.""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.""It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments.""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."

More AvePoint Cloud Backup Cons →

"Integration and reporting could be improved.""NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use.""One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."

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 →

  • "Our usage depends on the number of licenses we have. On the cloud, it's a pay-to-use kind of model which suits our needs well. Once we have the Cloud Manager installed, the licensing process is okay, regardless of whether we're running backups in the cloud or on-premises. Sometimes, we have to restrict the number of users as per the contractual agreement and in this case we simply cut down on the licensing."
  • "Cost could be lower."
  • "NetApp Cloud Backup has a subscription-based model and it is paid annually."
