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.
Kavya S - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Engineer at a outsourcing company with 201-500 employees
Continuous replication has protected critical servers and supports seamless disaster recovery drills
Some features that I personally feel can be improved are more simplified monitoring and reporting. As I previously mentioned, the console shows the replication status. If it had more detailed dashboards or built-in reports for DR readiness, it would make it easier for the teams to track everything in one place. Another improvement would be cost visibility and optimization guidance in optimizing the cost and also giving us visibility of it. Because the staging resources and replication storage are running continuously, it would be very helpful for organizations and users if AWS provided clearer cost insights, recommendations, and remediations to optimize the DR environment. It would also be useful if AWS added more automation options for application-level recovery, such as easier ways to handle IP changes, domain name system (DNS) updates, or application dependencies during failover. Additionally, we can simplify the setup and configuration process. For someone new to the service, understanding the staging settings, launch templates, and networking configurations can take some time. Setup simplicity and more detailed monitoring and alerting features would be beneficial. If we could add that, we can easily track the replication health, lag, and potential issues. Instead of relying on other additional tools for monitoring and alerting features, we can rely on AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery itself.

Quotes from Members

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

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."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it."
"The initial setup is super easy."
"Overall, this is a good product and I can recommend it to others."
"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"The backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."
"Overall, the best combination of AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is its near real-time replication and quick recovery testing, and this makes the service very useful in real-world scenarios."
"The ability to replicate our database and our data from one cloud to another is the most valuable feature."
"AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is a reliable and cost-effective solution for business continuity."
"Since it is a managed service, I reduce my time to manage infrastructure and applications."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"The strong points are the stability and scalability of the solution, as well as the convenience of it being cloud-based."
"AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is a robust and reliable solution for disaster recovery needs."
"Since deploying AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery, we have mostly seen an improvement in uptime, which contributes to reducing downtime."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"For me, it is very difficult to say how AvePoint Cloud Backup can be improved because I am not working on those implementation projects."
"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 restoration could be faster."
"The cost of AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as expensive."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"The product could be improved by incorporating more AI-driven automation for deployment and additional security features. These enhancements would make the solution even more user-friendly and secure."
"However, the user interface and monitoring features could be improved to make the overall experience better."
"An improved AWS pricing model is needed."
"While the service is very effective, it could improve in areas such as more granular cost visibility during staging and test launches."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. ​"
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
 

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."
"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
"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 feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
"The pricing is better now that they had come out with the Tier 2 which replicates a little less often. In comparison to what I would have been spending with any other type of solution, the pricing is fair."
"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
"Where the price adds up, there are CloudEndure licenses, then there is the AWS environment, and finally, there is the AWS storage, so cumulatively, it adds up."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
