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.

Cloud backups have simplified disaster recovery and now demand simpler first-time setup
For people looking for on-premises infrastructure with their disaster recovery in the cloud, Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot can help because it is easy to recover from. Additionally, if they are trying to migrate, they can use this solution as well. However, it depends on the customer's use cases and whether they really want to spend that much money and time on it. It requires new setup, licenses, and infrastructure investments. If customers do not have the existing infrastructure, then there is no use for it. However, if a customer already has good enterprise-level infrastructure, they can integrate this solution very easily.

"It is easy to restore VMs in the cloud."
"Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot has a positive impact by reducing downtime and giving us confidence in recovery."
 

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 configuration could be made easier."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The restoration could be faster."
"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"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."
"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."
"One area for improvement with Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot is the reporting dashboard."
"However, it depends on the customer's use cases and whether they really want to spend that much money and time on it."
 

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 platform is more expensive than other vendors."
"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."
"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"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."
