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.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection

Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

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."

"For me personally, the best feature in AvePoint Cloud Backup is mostly its ease of use."

"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 the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it."

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

"The initial setup is super easy."

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

"I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10."

More AvePoint Cloud Backup pros

"A simple and stable solution for small businesses that use virtualization."

"We moved our entire data center, from one physical location to another, mind you we are 24 hour operation with sites across the state relying on the systems being up, and we never lost one hour of downtime."

"Like I said Veeam works really well, I am very pleased."

"The technical support is excellent. It's one of the best I've met so far."

"A quick-working solution that is very user friendly."

"We changed when we saw the promise of Veeam, and these promises have been delivered!"

"The solution provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred."

"Storage gateway feature is very flexible."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

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

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

"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."

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

"The restoration could be faster."

"The configuration could be made easier."

More AvePoint Cloud Backup cons

"Technical Support: It's poor for certain issues (with the Veeam One product, the guys did not talk together and asked the same question several times)."

"The pricing could be improved."

"The backup jobs and the scheduled tuning are not as convenient as compared to a solution such as Data Protector."

"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by making the monitoring system free. If I would like to have any monitoring system by Veeam I have to purchase it. It should come free with the solution. They should provide a monitoring system to make the work easier and smooth."

"There is a limitation on the bare metal backup."

"The data duplication should be improved."

"The initial setup is complex."

"I thought that having a Windows machine running this was not the best for security."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."

"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."

"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 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."

"Its price is reasonable for a big company or a big client. It is not too much. It is cheaper than VMware."

"The price is a bit high. Licensing type is VMware friendly, so it is easy."

"We are on an annual license for Veeam Backup Replication. We could expand or upgrade the license for the Office365 features. Next year we might go to a three-year plan for support on license."

"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The product is inexpensive."

"Veeam Backup Replication has a lot of free features. We have a mixture of the paid versions as well as the community version. They are really helpful to us."

"The license subscription could be more straightforward."
