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 initial setup is 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."
"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 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"
"Rubrik has brought all of our backups under a single pane of glass and made recovery extremely simple."
"The solution’s ransomware recovery, from a security perspective, is one of the biggest features of the product. We don't have to worry about the operational complexity of air-gapped backups and can rely more on the immutability approach. It is a highly valued feature in this solution."
"I don't know if it is the best or the worst but it's very easy to install and very easy to balance. Sometimes that it's a problem because the installer of these data gets extremely scared because it's so easy. The product is easy to install, easy to balance, and easy to work with. Another really good point is the instant recovery."
"It has also saved us time managing backups. It's pretty stable. So it sends us a report if something goes wrong, then you get a report. You don't really need to manually monitor this software over time. If something happens, you'll get an error and you'll get an email notification and then address it. We found the product pretty stable if it's configured correctly. So it has reduced management time."
"The tech support is extremely helpful."
"Its reporting is most valuable. I like how it reports that everything is successfully backed up. It provides a summarized report that I can give to auditors and management."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"The most valuable feature is the archive to cloud location and the automation around the PowerShell script. There are also reports and dashboards."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"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."
"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."
"I hope to see enhancements in areas like data governance and the incorporation of new features in future updates."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"In terms of what could be improved with Rubrik, we need to improve the backup for remote sites. The competitors are stronger in terms of their remote office back up. Rubrik needs to improve to be stronger for backup. This is the main thing."
"They support Hyper-V and it works with our CloudOut, the cloud DR, but they seem to add features for VMware first and Hyper-V gets added second or sometimes several releases after the VMware feature comes out."
"Needs integration with video CD (coming in the next release) and a multi-tenant GUI."
"We have some challenges with the solution's reporting because historical reports have some limitations."
"I would like to have a built-in index searching ability of files/system files within the Rubrik interface to determine if a file or item exists, rather than just recovering it, and then doing a search for the file afterwards."
"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."
