Featured Reviews

Hendrik Belitz - PeerSpot reviewer
Has a straightforward setup process and valuable data security policies
The product's sales process needs improvement. It takes a lot of work to acquire it. AvePoint doesn't sell products directly to the customers. They take the help of IT system distributors. It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it. This particular area needs improvement compared to other companies.

Efficient file restoration with rapid incremental backups and potential for better reporting
I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data. Also, the reports we can generate have limited features. There is a limitation in the advanced reporting features, such as understanding how many files are in the backup, which users are actively using it, and how many files have been backed up properly.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
"The initial setup is super easy."
"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"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 most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes."
"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 centralized management console in this solution and AI-driven analytics are good features."
"The most valuable feature of Druva is that it can detect changes in files or laptops and perform incremental backups."
"Over the past five years, I haven't experienced any issues or problems with Druva."
 

Cons

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"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."
"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 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 suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."
"I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."
"They can improve their product quality for Salesforce as they don't have the capability to run that business without Technobind."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"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."
"The pricing part of the solution is based on a subscription model, which is based on the number of users or storage capacity."
