Axel Peter Brox - PeerSpot reviewer
Hospitality Specialist at Bechtle
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You can backup whatever you want, anything from your mobile phone to your OneDrive."
"We can use the tool to set up an automated backup from our on-premises server directly to the cloud."
"I have experience with the technical team of the product, and I feel that they offer good support."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup Cloud is the ease of management."
"The product is a good anti-ransomware solution."
"Technical support is great."
"The solution is reliable and relatively easy to use."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud has very easy backup and recovery capabilities."
"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 product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it."
"I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10."
"Overall, this is a good product and I can recommend it to others."
"The initial setup is 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."
 

Cons

"I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The tool needs to have better protection. The tool should be also able to take backups while users are offline and upload to the cloud whenever the internet connection is restored or if there is a good bandwidth."
"They could improve the detection rates of the antivirus."
"While we use the product to perform daily backups, restoring them from the cloud server often takes a significant amount of time."
"We'd like to see more DLP, data loss prevention."
"We are forced to purchase space in Acronis' private cloud, which is expensive."
"​For you to actually see the full logs, you have to use additional tools or even contact support so they can pull them with own tools."
"Some proactive alerts or emails are not currently available."
"There are some compatibility issues that could be improved."
"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."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"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."
"The configuration could be made easier."
"The restoration could be faster."
"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 platform is more expensive than other vendors."
"The pricing part of the solution is based on a subscription model, which is based on the number of users or storage capacity."
