Featured Reviews

Hendrik Belitz - PeerSpot reviewer
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. It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it. This particular area needs improvement compared to other companies.

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

"The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes."
"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."
"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 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 backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."
"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
"We don't need to purchase any hardware for this solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"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 challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"Lacks sufficient documentation or training videos."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"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."
"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
