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.
MehmetAksoy - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable rollback features for smooth IT operations and an easy setup
We are using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to take backups of shop floor PCs. I use it for clients locally, particularly for critical machines. It is also used globally for server-side backups and includes scheduling features like taking ten backups every Sunday when the factory is closed. This…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."
"The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes."
"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
"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 initial setup is super easy."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"The solution provides good backup services for Microsoft 365."
"The product is easy-to-use."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The product offers good stability."
"Its absolute functionality and intuitiveness are the most valuable features."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is stable."
"The way it backs up personal files is great."
 

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 configuration could be made easier."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"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 product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"When you add a new site for backup, it gives you a notice that there is a new site, but the way you select that and configure that could be slightly better. It works, but it is not always very clear. For example, for the URL, you need to hover over the title or the name of the site. You should see it immediately on the screen. It should have a better user interface for selecting what you want to back up so that you get a more clear overview of the sites that are there and the ones that you want to combine in a backup. Its user interface should be more user-friendly. It has a lot of scrolling and doesn't give you a complete overview when needed. That's the main thing why it is not very user-friendly. It should have a better user interface."
"Some additional training materials would be helpful."
"We would like to have a single management console for all of our backups."
"The solution needs to improve its speed."
"If clients are backing up onto tape, Veeam's newest versions don't really deal with that."
"It's a new product. It's not mature."
"When you are working in the Cloud security is very important."
"If Veeam could offer backup as a service for data backup and recovery, that would be great. We'd like something like what Druva is offering at the moment."
 

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."
"The pricing part of the solution is based on a subscription model, which is based on the number of users or storage capacity."
"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 platform is more expensive than other vendors."
"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"We have 2000 users and pay about $10,000. It may be a little bit more per year. We have an education institute and may have fewer expenses."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."
"We looked at a few cloud options. When we did the comparison, we found it to be a cost-effective solution, and it included everything."
"From our perspective in South Africa, our biggest challenge is the exchange rate from the South African currency to the US dollar. This makes it a bit pricey for us. However, compared to other backup solutions available, I would rate the pricing at a nine out of ten. For the servers, features, and functionality you get, it's worth the money. Of course, we'd always prefer things to be cheaper, but we also understand that you have to pay for proper functionality. So overall, it's not badly priced at all."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
