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.
Ahmad Mohammed EL-DADA - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides server-side and backend application support but needs better interface
The last update made the interface look somewhat unfamiliar to users. Data recovery was technically flawless at some point. However, an update after a merger changed things. The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward as before, and we're facing some challenges. Specifically, one user encrypted their data, and since they have left the company, we cannot decrypt it. This has resulted in a loss of access to that data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"The backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."
"It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it."
"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
"It has a straightforward installation."
"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"All the data is well encrypted. In addition, the data is split into pieces so that if an endpoint is attacked or compromised with any kind of ransomware, the compromised machine can be relocated or restored. All the data that was previously backed up can be restored from the cloud. It has a lot of security features. Druva currently offers only the cloud version on AWS. Being a cloud solution, Druva goes by a lot of security compliances and provides a security portfolio. People are very skeptical of the data security in cloud solutions, and Druva has given consideration to that. It has some good geo-location features. If a machine is lost, when the machine is switched on and connected to the internet, that machine can be geo-located and tracked. It also has got the geo-wipeout feature. If someone tries to take out the data from a lost machine, they won't be able to do that. The moment an IT admin comes to know that the machine is no longer with a user, he or she can auto-run the geo-wipeout feature so that the data cannot be read by any third party. Duality replication is a unique thing about this solution. Everybody's data is not backed up if the data is common. Similar data is not backed up from other machines. The data backup also happens very smoothly. The bandwidth choking is very less. When the data is getting backed up, the users do not even get to know. There is no impact even when the users are not using high-speed bandwidth."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
 

Cons

"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"The configuration could be made easier."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The restoration could be faster."
"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."
"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 solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"If I could have an accelerator or something to back up the solution on the cloud, that would be helpful. Also, it would be helpful if the accelerator could give me a buffer of a couple of days for any kind of immediate recovery on an offsite."
"The speed could be better."
"The product needs to improve its support."
 

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."
"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
"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 pricing part of the solution is based on a subscription model, which is based on the number of users or storage capacity."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"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."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
"The pricing is good."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
