Pros
"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 initial setup is super easy.""The product's initial setup phase was super easy.""It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional""The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup.""The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes.""It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it.""The backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."

"RDS backup is one of the most crucial components of any client's cloud environment, so we generally use that. Additionally, we store EBS snapshots in S3.""The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources.""The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered.""AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups.""The advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple.""When I was using an on-premises backup, there was an external hard drive or something like that. I had a backup server, but I had a few problems related to transfer when I had to restore something that I have deleted. I had to wait for after-office hours to do something like that, but now I just have to send a mail. Within one hour, I have my restored file.""It also saves costs and is quick.""We can directly back up EC2 instances in AWS without using any third-party applications."

Cons
"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 restoration could be faster.""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.""For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works.""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 product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""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."

More AvePoint Cloud Backup Cons →

"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors.""AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS.""It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually.""It could be less expensive.""For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities.""To create a plan and for all the configuration, one has to do multiple steps, which could be organized in a much simpler way, making the user experience better.""This backup tool does the full backup of the entire snapshot server. I would like to have the option to not do the full server backup.""The tool is a good fit if your environment is VM-specific. However, it might not be the most suitable option if you have physical servers or an on-premise setup."
