Cloud and Solution Principal Architect at sumNERV Provider AB

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.

Pros

"The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes."

"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."

"The product's initial setup phase was 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 SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."

"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"

"The backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."

More AvePoint Cloud Backup pros

"We don't need to purchase any hardware for this solution."

Cons

"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."

"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."

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"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."

"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."

"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."

"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."

More AvePoint Cloud Backup cons

"Lacks sufficient documentation or training videos."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."

"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."

"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."
