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

"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."
"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"
"I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10."
"The backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"Druva inSync's automation has reduced manual intervention in my data management processes."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."
"We love the product and its offerings, and feel that it is the best product in the market."
"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"The most valuable feature about Druva is that it is 100% based in the cloud, scans the backups for ransomware, has a security element, includes unlimited uploads and downloads in the price, provides a granular approach to backup and restores so that customers can retrieve individual files, is incredibly fast, and dedupes all your data and only charges you for the amount of data that's been deduped as opposed to what it originally sees."
"Customers are very happy with this solution."
"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."
 

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."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"The restoration could be faster."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The configuration could be made easier."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"The speed could be better."
"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"I have faced some challenges with these integrations."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
"The pricing is good."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
