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."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"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."
"The restoration could be faster."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"The configuration could be made easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"The pricing part of the solution is based on a subscription model, which is based on the number of users or storage capacity."
"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."
