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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"The initial setup is super easy."
"It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it."
"The product's initial setup phase was 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 only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
"It works well as a backup and as a service."
"The most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup."

"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The configuration could be made easier."
"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."
"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 is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"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."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"The time it takes to complete the backups could be reduced."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
"I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"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."
"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"Price-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten. One only has to pay for the storage cost of AWS solutions, which is the standard cost provided by AWS."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"It's a myth that Cloud is cheap. Cloud is cheap initially, but the cost over time can be equal to your own infrastructure if you consume a lot."
"The product is inexpensive."
