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.

Single item recovery has transformed mailbox backups and now provides faster, precise restores
Druva inSync can improve if we can integrate a chatbot. Instead of going through the portal, if there were a chatbot and we could restore mailboxes and groups by chatting with the chatbot, that would be an added feature. The restoration of notes is a limitation. Druva inSync is not capable of restoring notes. If users have something saved in notes, Druva inSync will not be able to restore it. If it could enhance the capability to restore notes, that would also be helpful. If it were to enable chatbot functionality and by just saying to the chatbot to restore a mailbox or restore an item to the mailbox, that would enhance productivity. There is some limitation of restoration for certain folders. If those could be fixed, it would be a perfect product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For me personally, the best feature in AvePoint Cloud Backup is mostly its ease of use."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes."
"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."
"The backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."
"The initial setup is super easy."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature, and requiring very little effort for implementation as well as the simplicity of configuration are all very useful."
"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."
"We love the product and its offerings, and feel that it is the best product in the market."
"Druva allows us to be secure in knowing our clients are backed up."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
 

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."
"The restoration could be faster."
"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."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"AvePoint Cloud Backup's pricing could be lower and more flexible. Particularly, when dealing with smaller customers or more minor businesses, obtaining competitive pricing for bundles rather than on a one-by-one basis remains challenging."
"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."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"Auto registration of non-domain machines is missing, as registration is a manual process of creating a key and adding it to the client."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"The product needs to improve its support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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 would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"The pricing is good."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
