Robert Hedblom

Cloud and Solution Principal Architect at sumNERV Provider AB

Focuses on not just backup but also on providing highly granular restore capabilities, ensuring that data can be restored at a very specific level rather than restoring entire environments

The fact that AvePoint focuses on restore capabilities, not just backup is valuable. The main intention of backup is to restore data, and that's the major differential with AvePoint compared to other vendors. Many claim to do backup, but that's not the same. The crucial part is the ability to perform granular restores, having restore-level objectives (RLO) instead of restoring entire SharePoint sites when you only need a single document. AvePoint excels in providing extremely granular restore capabilities with great Recovery Time Objectives (RTO). AvePoint Cloud Backup comes with Immutable Storage and our OPEX licensing model also includes Unlimited Storage.

A stable and economical solution that provides quick disaster recovery

The most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery. We call it a single-click recovery. If any server goes down, crashes, or experiences downtime, we can bring up the DR (Disaster Recovery) server in just two minutes. We also have a "Single Pane of Glass," wherein we work with only a single window. You don't have to use multiple windows to perform basic tasks like failover or failback.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."

"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."

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

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

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

"The backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."

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

More AvePoint Cloud Backup pros

"The solution is very cost effective."

"I like this product because it is easy to use."

"I have used the BMR (Bare Metal Restore) in several emergencies and it has absolutely saved my bacon."

"When it comes to recovering what you need from a backup, it's really easy. You just drill through the directory, find the file and the date that you want, and click to recover. You then pick the directory you want to save it in. Usually, it takes a minute or two and it's done. It's quick and easy."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."

"One of the most valuable features was the usability, since many of the features were very straightforward. The backup and restoration process was also very fast. Although we weren't able to fully test the scenarios, one of the features was that we could have it restored on a remote site. However, since we were on-prem, we weren't able to test the remote site restoration."

"The biggest feature is being able to do a file recovery to the original server. That is extremely useful and has saved us a few times when we've had ransomware. In some of those cases, people's computers were locked down by viruses which spread to things they had access to, including server shares. But we were easily able to just restore to four hours prior, instead of a day or two or more ago."

"It provides a smooth training experience and easy terminology for those in the advocacy world."

More Quorum OnQ pros

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."

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

"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."

"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 product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

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

"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."

More AvePoint Cloud Backup cons

"The price of Quorum OnQ could be improved. We were exploring the product in terms of having a partnership with the distributor so that we could operate as a service, but for our own use, within the company, we couldn't justify the price unless the servers would become an option later on. The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."

"They have radio buttons that allow multiselection, which is not intuitive."

"We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them."

"I would like to see iSCSI support added so that NAS storage servers could be protected. We heavily utilize NAS storage and the risk there is minimal backup options. Currently, we are backing up NAS to NAS which is costly and slow. Being able to integrate NAS server backup would be the last item on my Quorum bucket list."

"The user interface needs to be improved."

"I would really like it if they followed comparable products from other vendors and had an option where you could offload to tape. I know it sounds incredibly antiquated, but the benefit I see is that there would be a better air gap than you have with backing up to an online source."

"It feels to me like it's going to be a little bit more work than I originally anticipated when upgrading the appliance. I haven't done that yet so I can't speak from true experience, but I went through the project plan and it feels to me like there's quite a number of pieces and components and things that have to be done. Quorum is going to manage the rollout, but in starting the initial conversation there were a lot of unanswered questions"

"At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."

"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."

"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."

"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 how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."

"The solution’s pricing is economical."

"The pricing is about $1,400 a month. It's a little bit on the higher side. But it's one of those situations where time is valuable for me. So if it costs a little bit more money for me to have a solution that just works and requires less of my day-to-day management, I'm willing to pay a little bit more."

"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."

"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."

"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."

"The initial expenditure for us was a little under $40,000 for the recent renewal. For the first three years after that, other than electricity, there's no cost. After that, their support contract has to be renewed annually. We spent close to $6,000, between the two offices, for support."

"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
