Backup has become straightforward for our clients but deployment insights are still limited
Azure is quite a broad topic, so it is really difficult to give a straightforward answer to that question. Easy deployment for easy configurations is straightforward, but you can make it as difficult and complex as you can within Azure.It also depends on the actual environment. In most cases that we are involved in, it is between two and five people.I am overall satisfied with the pricing and licensing policy of AvePoint, as pricing compared to other products is competitive. I would rate this review as a seven.

Manages virtual machine backups smoothly and simplifies restoration across environments
It is quite easy to manage AWS Backup's centralized console for multiple environments. The product's interface is intuitive. AWS Backup has a much higher price if you compare it with the snapshots. I have to pay for the whole environment by AWS. We have a backup solution with only virtual machines. The rest of it, we have a restore point.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes."
"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
"The initial setup is 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."
"I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10."
"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."
"For me personally, the best feature in AvePoint Cloud Backup is mostly its ease of use."
"RDS backup is one of the most crucial components of any client's cloud environment, so we generally use that. Additionally, we store EBS snapshots in S3."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"The technical support is amazing, it is the best."
"It is highly scalable for both SMEs and large enterprises."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"We primarily use the solution as a backup for snapshots so that the data will not get corrupt or lost, and it secures our data for us."
"The snapshots we take through AWS Backup are very effective."
"It's very easy to configure. Since it's a managed service, it's very straightforward to set up and use. And my customers get on with it very fast."
 

Cons

"For me, it is very difficult to say how AvePoint Cloud Backup can be improved because I am not working on those implementation projects."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"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."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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 configuration could be made easier."
"Only the price could be improved."
"The notifications on the backup and on the mobile app could be more useful."
"The time it takes to complete the backups could be reduced."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"This backup tool does the full backup of the entire snapshot server. I would like to have the option to not do the full server backup."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"The support people face some challenges in coming on for remote sessions. They always prefer giving some logs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"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 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."
"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"There is a lot of flexibility with the services and pricing. The price is reasonable when compared to other products. This is very good for us."
"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"The product is inexpensive."
"The pricing is decent."
"There are no licensing costs for AWS Backup. You pay only for the amount of backup storage you use and then the data transferred between regions. Overall AWS Backup is priced reasonably."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
