Accessible from anywhere without the requirement to purchase hardware
We are customers of Carbonite Backup and I'm the company IT manager The fact that we don't need to purchase any hardware is a huge benefit. It also means we can have access from anywhere.  I think they could implement some new functionalities and I'd like to see some better training provided,…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
"It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it."
"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."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"We don't need to purchase any hardware for this solution."
 

Cons

"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 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 would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"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."
"The restoration could be faster."
"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"Lacks sufficient documentation or training videos."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 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."
"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
