User-friendly, knowledgeable technical support, and the email backup features work well
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
  • "It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."

What is our primary use case?

We use this product to backup the Office 365 tenant. This includes SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, Teams, etc.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup.

We can restore data that is based on a search, which normally satisfies our requirements.

The interface is pretty user-friendly and if you get stuck, the technical support is really well-versed on the product.

What needs improvement?

It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do. We need to know specifically what data we need to restore, or a timestamp. If someone comes up to us and asks for the last six months of somebody's email then we can't do that.

With respect to the reports, I would like to enhance the reports on what was backed up and added. To have it show you the amount of growth in the ecosystem, of the sectors of Exchange, SharePoint, and OneDrive would be useful.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using AvePoint Cloud Backup for just more than a year and a half. We are part of the MSP program.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

There are five in our organization who are using this solution.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is excellent.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is somewhat straightforward, although I don't like how the licensing works. You can't buy direct from AvePoint and then the licensing gets weird.

It is really quick to deploy and can be completed in a couple of hours.

What about the implementation team?

The deployment was all done in-house.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

This product costs more upfront but in the end, it's cheaper than the competitors once you back everything up.

I don't like how the licensing works because you purchase the license from a third-party and then you get the product.

I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated other solutions before choosing this solution.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, this is a good product and I can recommend it to others.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

A scalable solution that offers platform backup and supports more services than other tools in the market
Pros and Cons
  • "It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
  • "The restoration could be faster."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution to restore messages and mailboxes.

What is most valuable?

It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup.

What needs improvement?

The performance could be better. It takes a couple of hours to back up a whole environment. The restoration could be faster. I rate the performance a six out of ten.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for two and a half years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the tool’s scalability an eight out of ten. It is a SaaS model. We have 3500 users. We need two administrators. We will continue using the solution in the future.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is okay. The support must work on its speed of response and overall competence.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

In my previous company, we used CodeTwo Backup. AvePoint Cloud Backup is better. It supports more services. It also supports public folders. Since it is SaaS-based, we do not have to maintain an on-prem server.

What other advice do I have?

We use AvePoint MyHub. We have AvePoint Cloud Records for records management. We also use the services of AvePoint Cloud Governance and the self-service portal for end users. Most of the services are okay. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.
