Has got immutability feature but needs to improve initial seed

We use the tool for Microsoft Office 365 and SharePoint OneDrive. 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…

Offers protection and does scanning of the data in the storage

NetApp has a nasty way of dealing with the license for the product's on-premises virtual NetApp appliance that you need in your whole architecture, and it is not directly linked to NetApp Cloud Backup. It is not a feature that I want to change in NetApp Cloud Backup because the cloud backup service is architectured in a way that makes it available to users, so it looks pretty good to me. When you go to the other side, you can see what you want to have on-premises for the main side in order to have backup in the cloud via NetApp Cloud Backup. With the on-premises part, you need to have either a physical NetApp or a virtual NetApp. You only have two options for primary storage from the network. In the physical cases, it is pretty straightforward as you have pricing and something like a grid with your NetApp. The sales representatives explain how much it will cost you to have some physical NetApp storage based on performance, types, and so on. The support contracts are for three or five years. When it comes to the virtual NetApp, you can run on top of an existing VMware tool or a recent cluster; it gets nasty because they do not let you change the licensed server. Once you deploy a virtual NetApp with a licensed server that you have on-premises, you migrate off from that, but NetApp does not let you change the licensed server, which should be really simple.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."

"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"

"The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes."

"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."

"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."

"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."

"The initial setup is super easy."

More AvePoint Cloud Backup pros

"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."

"I rate the scalability a ten out of ten...It has a great impact on our business because we have the infrastructure deployed globally on four continents around the world."

"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."

"Scalability is very good."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."

"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."

"The restoration could be faster."

"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."

"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."

More AvePoint Cloud Backup cons

"NetApp has a nasty way of dealing with the license for the product's on-premises virtual NetApp appliance that you need in your whole architecture, and it is not directly linked to NetApp Cloud Backup."

"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."

"Integration and reporting could be improved."

"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."

"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 rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"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 am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."

"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."

"NetApp Cloud Backup has a subscription-based model and it is paid annually."

"Our usage depends on the number of licenses we have. On the cloud, it's a pay-to-use kind of model which suits our needs well. Once we have the Cloud Manager installed, the licensing process is okay, regardless of whether we're running backups in the cloud or on-premises. Sometimes, we have to restrict the number of users as per the contractual agreement and in this case we simply cut down on the licensing."

"If one is not cost-effective and ten is a highly cost-effective product, I rate the tool as a three. The tool is not so cheap."

"Cost could be lower."
