Good backup retention but it is not a reliable platform and it doesn't giving any sort of alerts that things are not working
StorageCraft wasn't getting full backup coverage. It was backing up around 1 to 2% of the points. It was not a reliable platform and it wasn't giving any sort of alerts that things were not working. The majority of stuff wasn't backed up, so we really weren't happy with them. That's when we went on the look for a new solution.
Hendrik Belitz - PeerSpot reviewer
Has a straightforward setup process and valuable data security policies
The product's sales process needs improvement. It takes a lot of work to acquire it. AvePoint doesn't sell products directly to the customers. They take the help of IT system distributors. It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it. This particular area needs improvement compared to other companies.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The backup retention was pretty good. Being able to archive users who had been backed up, is a good functionality. Even if they've been deactivated it'll keep the backups and keep them protected."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"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."
"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."
"It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it."
"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
"The backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."
 

Cons

"StorageCraft wasn't getting full backup coverage. It was backing up around one to 2% of the points. It was not a reliable platform and it wasn't giving any sort of alerts that things were not working."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"The restoration could be faster."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"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 configuration could be made easier."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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 challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"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."
"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
"The pricing part of the solution is based on a subscription model, which is based on the number of users or storage capacity."
"I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
