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.

I would rate this review as a seven.

Cons

"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"For me, it is very difficult to say how AvePoint Cloud Backup can be improved because I am not working on those implementation projects."
"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."
"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."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"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."
"Improvement is needed in the graphical web administration tool."
"The virtual machine backup is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"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 would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"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."
"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."
"I use the open-source version of Bareos, which means I used the free version of the solution."
