We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is very straightforward to use. It's not overly difficult to figure out.""I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.""The initial setup phase can be described as a very user-friendly one...The solution's technical support was good since they responded very promptly.""The most valuable feature of AvePoint FLY is its ability to install or use multiple client servers using a single master server and balance the migration load depending on our needs."

More Avepoint FLY Pros →

"For the customers I work with, it provides flexibility as far as storage is concerned, so it's security and access.""When I started using CloudSphere, it wasn't mature, and it had multiple issues. For example, my team experienced server issues while using the solution, but recently, I noticed how much CloudSphere has improved. There used to be some latency issues with CloudSphere. It even gave error messages in the past when you select an option such as "the web server is not responding", but it has improved a lot, and now I don't get any errors from CloudSphere. What I like best about CloudSphere is that it has a lot of beneficial features, and it has a single pane for managing multi-cloud environments, which I find very helpful, and it's the main benefit you can get from CloudSphere.""We do not need to install any appliances or any agents.""The product is helpful for the management, optimization, and utilization of resources.""Provides multiple kinds of services for managing the clouds of multiple customers."

More CloudSphere Pros →

Cons
"The solution's reporting could be improved because it does not have a lot of reporting capabilities.""Technical support is lacking in that they don't seem to respond. I do a lot of research myself. I can't rely on them.""Right now, AvePoint FLY doesn’t provide us with help to identify the size of the mailed items for a certain period.""The initial setup is a little bit more complex than setting up Cloud Backup for Avepoint."

More Avepoint FLY Cons →

"The solution must have a single management console for the resources and VMs.""When we start the scanning of, for example, 500 servers, it will not handle the scan. We need to differentiate the jobs - for example, one job for 100 servers, a second job for another 100 servers, et cetera.""The next feature I would like to have full disclosure of what's being done with the data.""The main issue I experienced from CloudSphere was recently resolved, but an area for improvement in the solution is that it lacks the functionality of migrating resources from one public cloud to another. If CloudSphere could provide that functionality, that would be very beneficial to users and companies.""There are quite a number of services that can't be deployed using CloudSphere."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We are using the trial version and find it to be costly. It's something around $20. With another attachment, the cost was lower, at about $3. However, you seem to have to buy more licenses than you need."
  • "The prices of the tool are neither low nor high, so it can be considered a moderately-priced product."
  • "AvePoint FLY's pricing is good enough for its capabilities."
  • "There are two different ways of licensing Avepoint FLY. So either you can use set up a licensing form based on objects which we do not recommend because then it will be more costly. So what you do is you set up the migration based on the users instead."
  • More Avepoint FLY Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It depends on how that model will be used. It might be anywhere between $4 and $15 per license per month. It’s less expensive than other options."
  • "The product is very expensive."
