Self-service integration enhances data protection and control over automated backups, offering robust restoration quality
The product is highly recommended for my enterprise customers due to its quality. The score for the product is between eight and ten, based on satisfaction levels. My clients are satisfied, but AvePoint Cloud Backup is costlier for smaller or medium-sized enterprises. Commercial discussions can be challenging on that front. I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10.

Manages virtual machine backups smoothly and simplifies restoration across environments
It is quite easy to manage AWS Backup's centralized console for multiple environments. The product's interface is intuitive. AWS Backup has a much higher price if you compare it with the snapshots. I have to pay for the whole environment by AWS. We have a backup solution with only virtual machines. The rest of it, we have a restore point.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10."
"The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes."
"The initial setup is super easy."
"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it."
"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."
"AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"It works well as a backup and as a service."
"The customer service is top-notch, rated ten out of ten."
"AWS Backup is most beneficial because we can manage the service, centralize, and automate the data without missing any essential information."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"The snapshots we take through AWS Backup are very effective."
 

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."
"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The configuration could be made easier."
"The restoration could be faster."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"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."
"The AWS Backup backend reporting is a major area that needs improvement."
"The support people face some challenges in coming on for remote sessions. They always prefer giving some logs."
"The time it takes to complete the backups could be reduced."
"Only the price could be improved."
"If AWS Backup were a hybrid solution that also supported on-premises backups then it would be very helpful, especially if you are doing a migration to the cloud."
"AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier for anything but EFS."
"Regarding disadvantages of AWS Backup, it can be expensive and not particularly user-friendly."
"The service disconnects a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
"The pricing part of the solution is based on a subscription model, which is based on the number of users or storage capacity."
"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."
"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."
"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 product is inexpensive."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"The pricing is okay."
"It's a myth that Cloud is cheap. Cloud is cheap initially, but the cost over time can be equal to your own infrastructure if you consume a lot."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"We don't use a lot of space, only approximately 900 GB, so the price is reasonable. For standing, it's okay. We normally do a payment to SSML, and they are the ones who pay over there. It is around $100 monthly."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
