Self-service integration enhances data protection and control over automated backups, offering robust restoration quality
The product is highly recommended for my enterprise customers due to its quality. The score for the product is between eight and ten, based on satisfaction levels. My clients are satisfied, but AvePoint Cloud Backup is costlier for smaller or medium-sized enterprises. Commercial discussions can be challenging on that front. I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10."
"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."
"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
"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 backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"One of the most valuable features is it is available on the cloud, so I do not need to make a firewall. Second, the backup speed is outstanding. The third thing is that the section policy is very good and gives you a lot of flexibility and granularity regarding what you need to back up."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"It's incredibly fast."
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
 

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 restoration could be faster."
"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."
"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 challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"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 security improved in the next release."
"Druva inSync is very high in price. A general customer cannot afford this solution. Even if the product is good, people cannot afford such a high cost just for taking the backup. This is a recurring investment, and the customers have to pay for it every year. Druva is also yet to develop the channel and the channel or partner commitment."
"The speed could be better."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"To make Druva inSync better, they can implement additional DLP."
"The backup time is very poor. The backup runs continuously. It goes on from morning till night. The system performance also becomes very poor when Druva inSync is running."
"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."
"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"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."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The pricing is good."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
