Sales Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.

"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."
"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."
"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 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."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."

"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"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."
"The restoration could be faster."
"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."
"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."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."

"I would like to see security improved in the next release."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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