Sometimes when using an SQL database, the solution creates issues with retrieving information or keeping the connection established. However, that happens for longer migrations when I'm migrating ten terabytes of data or more than that, and not in ideal cases. I rate AvePoint FLY an eight out of ten for stability.

The main challenge my company faced was with a particular customer who had mailbox data of more than 100 GB without any archive, so migration is not possible with hybrid native tools. Either we have to create an archive mailbox and then migrate using Microsoft Exchange's native tool, which the customer did not do since they could not provision archive storage. The tool can migrate some data set, like some period of data, from the archive mailbox directly to anything online. The use of the tool involves the need for a lot of resources, like storage and CPU, to be deployed on-premise. With AvePoint FLY's functionalities, one can migrate any number of mailboxes with any storage directly to an archive mailbox. To see if AvePoint FLY applies to any product in your environment, you should read the guides, usually available to the partners. AvePoint provides a link to those who purchase their products. You should first make yourself comfortable by reading the guide provided by AvePoint since you cannot afford to miss any topics. Each topic in AvePoint's guide must be understood by its users. If you read AvePoint's guide, then the tool can provide you with value because previously, I have also worked with another tool where technical support was not taken into their scope of duties. With AvePoint, support is provided to its users, so whatever queries one has, a support team is present to tell what exactly you have to do. With other tools in the market, they will do the migration up front and not provide support later on to their users. For AvePoint's partners, there are training courses available, and one should go through that training to be able to successfully use the product during migrations. AvePoint FLY helps you deal with all your challenges. The tool has a solution for all your challenges. Basically, the first thing you don't do is directly use AvePoint FLY before understanding it by reading their guide since each point mentioned in it is really important. If you miss one step, it will impact your migration. AvePoint provides proper planning for its users. You take the backup configuration of your calendar services and shared mailbox. Most companies say that we only support migrating source mail licenses to the target mail licenses, but AvePoint provides its users help with all the complete possible scenarios. After migrating, AvePoint lets its users know how to apply the permissions on the mail routing, making it a very good tool. It is a good tool considering the end-to-end functionalities offered by the tool. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. So it is only used while migration is occurring. But we do see that our clients are doing a lot of migrations since they make acquisitions of different companies. So I would say they are using it on a monthly basis.

Valuable Features

"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."

Room for Improvement

"The initial setup is a little bit more complex than setting up Cloud Backup for Avepoint."

"Right now, AvePoint FLY doesn’t provide us with help to identify the size of the mailed items for a certain period."

Pricing

Enterprise users find Avepoint FLY's pricing moderately cost-effective given its capabilities. The minimum purchase requires 25 licenses, which some perceive as unnecessary. Pricing is generally aligned with competitors, with options based on users or storage models. Although setup costs and the licensing process can be confusing, leveraging user-based migration is recommended to manage costs efficiently. Avepoint FLY offers good value, considering its ease of use and additional features.

"The prices of the tool are neither low nor high, so it can be considered a moderately-priced product."
