Efficient data management but struggles with new hardware limitations

Focuses on not just backup but also on providing highly granular restore capabilities, ensuring that data can be restored at a very specific level rather than restoring entire environments
The fact that AvePoint focuses on restore capabilities, not just backup is valuable. The main intention of backup is to restore data, and that's the major differential with AvePoint compared to other vendors. Many claim to do backup, but that's not the same. The crucial part is the ability to perform granular restores, having restore-level objectives (RLO) instead of restoring entire SharePoint sites when you only need a single document. AvePoint excels in providing extremely granular restore capabilities with great Recovery Time Objectives (RTO). AvePoint Cloud Backup comes with Immutable Storage and our OPEX licensing model also includes Unlimited Storage.

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

Pros

"In terms of data recovery, both the performance and reliability have been excellent."
"The data application is working well, and it does manage to match data when using the data option."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"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 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 backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"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."
 

Cons

"They should include the capability to back up on-premises environments."
"There are limitations with new hardware where it does not support failover and does not support the three-star bank group."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"The configuration could be made easier."
"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."
"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 restoration could be faster."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The SaaS platform offers many benefits; the licensing structure is suitable for monitoring and controlling users' storage space."
"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
"I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"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."
"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."
