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

"I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"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."
"It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it."
"The backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
"For me personally, the best feature in AvePoint Cloud Backup is mostly its ease of use."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"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."
"Customers are very happy with this solution."
"It's incredibly fast."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
 

Cons

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The restoration could be faster."
"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."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"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 configuration could be made easier."
"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"Druva inSync is very high in price. A general customer cannot afford this solution."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"Auto registration of non-domain machines is missing, as registration is a manual process of creating a key and adding it to the client."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The speed could be better."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
"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 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."
"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"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."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"The pricing is good."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
