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.
Edward Hore - PeerSpot reviewer

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes."
"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 product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."
"The initial setup is super easy."
"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"The backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."
"The product could be improved if they wrote more PowerShell scripts for controlling Veeam."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"Veeam Data Platform offers features specifically designed for ransomware defense."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are ease of use, dashboards, and reporting."
"I like that the solution is very simple to install."
"The user interface is good and it is very easy to use."
"It is a powerful software for communicating with the storage and for redundancy."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of deployment, its many interesting functions, and its good performance for both backup and restoration."
 

Cons

"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"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 configuration could be made easier."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"The replication process is very slow. It takes too long to replicate a virtual machine."
"The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully."
"I would like the solution to have better integration with other hypervisors and cloud features that are not exclusive to VMware."
"Veeam Backup is not enhanced. There aren't any enhancements yet and they are still using traditional methods for snapshots and to perform the backup, like many other vendors. Another improvement would be simplifying and integrating their software."
"The replication functionality only works for VMware environments. Veeam has a backup agent for AIX operating systems, and we will like to see the replication functionality available for the AIX operating system. Additionally, if the backup functionality for AIX to be included in the Veeam console would be an advantage."
"I think that Veeam could improve some performance issues when the backup itself is restored. I'm also using HPE StoreOnce, which has deduplication, and when I'm trying to test or run backups, it takes a lot of time. I think they could improve the testing for backup copies."
"They could improve the product's response times for technical support and enhance support for newer hypervisors."
"The cost of the product is an area that would prevent me from using it in the future."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"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 license is a bit expensive."
"The licensing is the worst part of Veeam Backup Replication because for the more complex situations and it's quite difficult and complex. In particular, when mixing different requirements the licensing model is complex. For example, mixing a virtual machine backup and a file server backup in the same installation can be somewhat difficult and is expensive."
"Veeam ONE is cheaper when you compare it with one of its competitors in the ops space, VMware vRealize Operations. There's a separate department that deals with the licensing, but my company is using CSP licensing, which is the service provider licensing, so my company doesn't fall under the normal volume at the Veeam Universal licensing program. The cost is commit-based and depends on what your point commit is. The point commit works differently, and it's similar to your sales provider license. If you commit to using one thousand five hundred points, you get a certain price. If you commit to using the eight hundred points scheme, you get a certain price. As you grow the point scheme, you get a different price range, so it doesn't matter whether you're using Veeam One, Veeam Availability Suite, Veeam Backup and Replication, Orchestrate, or whatever the product is."
"It is approximately $4,000 to $5,000 for the purchase of the product and I paid an additional $2,000 for the renewal."
"We use the community edition of the Veeam Backup Replication and it is a software-based license. It can be a little expensive."
"It's an extremely cost-effective solution."
"This product is not cheap, but it's well worth the cost."
"They could work at providing a better price."
