Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 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 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 →

"The visibility and assistance with security vulnerabilities are valuable.""Its ability to quickly inventory our resources, figure out interdependencies across them, and assemble a topology of your environment is brilliant. There is a price associated with it. Whenever you target a NetApp environment, it is included in the price but whenever you want to add different vendors, like VMware and Cisco, the price greatly spikes. Inventorization helps us a lot to visualize the environment.""The solution is easy to deploy.""Cloud Secure is definitely the most valuable feature and being able to see file level activity. It gives real-time alerting on possible ransomware attacks and provides file security review. It helps us to see if something abnormal is happening on the system before it's too late.""One feature we appreciate the most is its ability to take snapshots, which adds an extra layer of security and allows us to protect our data effectively.""All our production clusters are in Cloud Insight. It provides a single pane of glass, giving us visibility into the environment, which allows us to understand if any issues are going on across any of our clusters.""The solution is 98 percent stable.""Cloud Insights' best features are visibility and the connector to move the workloads."

Cons
"The solution's reporting could be improved because it does not have a lot of reporting capabilities.""The initial setup is a little bit more complex than setting up Cloud Backup for Avepoint.""Right now, AvePoint FLY doesn’t provide us with help to identify the size of the mailed items for a certain period.""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."

More Avepoint FLY Cons →

"The support is not very quick.""Most of the time, I initially connect with entry-level support, and then I need to request a higher-tier support level, which can result in delays.""The visualization needs some improvement because there are occasional delays while the system queries information.""In a perfect world we would have something built, right out-of-the-box, that can identify what we call "noise," and reduce the amount of data. You're presented with so much data when you first start the data collectors. For example, it brings back a lot of change rates that happen just because of standard computing, like profile changes and that sort of thing. Being able to identify things like that and categorize them and strip it down—and it probably can do that, I just haven't gotten there yet—would be very beneficial.""There is room for improving the creating and managing or modifying of reports. That is still a difficult task to do and requires knowledge beyond the storage itself. I would love to see reporting improved so that we can create reports by dragging and dropping pieces into a report form and publish a report that way.""When I did need support because I was having problems with the solution, the first or the second line just didn't understand it. They were providing this only on a software as a service basis. So, they were asking all the wrong questions.""Cloud Insights could offer more detail when we drill down into the Azure environment.""The first level of NetApp's technical support could be improved."

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 →

  • "The licensing model could be improved. We love that you can use it for free for looking at NetApp products. You only need licenses to look at non-NetApp products, but as soon as you do that, you start utilizing licenses that actually would have been free in the public. So, there is a bit of an anomaly in the licensing model."
  • "Be aware of the capacity licensing and understand how that works, because it is based on capacity. Getting an understanding of that is the biggest thing."
  • "The solution's pricing is based on the device you purchase and includes support services."
  • "We are billed based on management units, so we can purchase units based on six months, twelve months, twenty-four months, or thirty-six months upfront or pay as you go depending on our requirements."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "The licensing is complex. The calculation depends on what you're ingesting. A terabyte of one product is not a terabyte of another product. Virtual machines don't equate so easily. It's all about the end-use managed units and having an easy place to reference how far those units go."

    The solution is very straightforward to use. It's not overly difficult to figure out. Everything seems to be quite flexible. This is helpful as this was part of our requirements for a solution.
