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.
Edward Hore - PeerSpot reviewer

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes."
"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"
"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"The backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."
"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."
"I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"When it comes to service cases, I would choose Veeam Data Platform over Commvault because restoring from Commvault can be time-consuming due to filtering tasks. Veeam Data Platform, on the other hand, offers a much simpler and faster restore process."
"I like all of Veeam's features, but the most important ones are the tape backups and replication. Those are the two options available for us, and it's enough for our needs."
"It's simply very good software for backup purposes."
"It has an intuitive interface, and it provides us with successful backups without needing to tweak or do any adjusting. We just set it up and like their ad says, "It Just Works.""
"There are many valuable features, for example how Copy Job is controlling the band with accelerators. The Enterprise Manager is a valuable feature. There are many very useful features. We can push in the market, because we have an advantage over the other solutions."
"It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
"The most valuable addition recently introduced is the Continuous Data Protection feature."
"They provide good technical support and we are satisfied with the support we have received."
 

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."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"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."
"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 is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"They need to improve their technical side."
"During the initial setup especially, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"The SME that helped us with the implementation would probably have more insight because he used it way more than we have. We just use it for making sure that our backups are done daily, and the replications are being performed between sites. We haven't had any issues at all with it other than the fact that there is a slight process to acquire additional licenses if we want to expand our number of hosts. That's because it is based on the number of cores and threads that are used."
"There is a bug that prevents enabling the restore button, which is hectic."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It could be simpler to use."
"One challenge that we have encountered was on the long-term retention of data. Be sure to look into a dedicated deduplication appliance."
"The product is missing some commonsense features and tools for an enterprise backup recovery product,"
"The stability could be better, specifically in the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"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."
"The pricing part of the solution is based on a subscription model, which is based on the number of users or storage capacity."
"This is not an expensive solution. It's on the cheaper side."
"Veeam has been raising its prices in the last two years, so it's now lacking some competitiveness in pricing."
"Veeam Data Platform's pricing is affordable."
"The solution provides flexible licensing options."
"The price of the solution could improve when comparing it to competitors. The market is very competitive and they should have some discounts or special offers."
"Since our Veeam license is perpetual, we only pay for annual maintenance."
"I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment."
"The solution's pricing is cheap."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
