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 →

"In terms of its storage snapshot efficiencies, the service is highly efficient. We are only doing things in small batches right now because we have not converted all of the data, but we have tested them in the Google Cloud and they work efficiently.""Storage was taking up maybe 10 to 20% of my life at the startup, and now it takes up zero. I was personally running all the infrastructure for the company. Now that we've moved to NetApp, I don't have to worry about making sure it's up and running. It's made my life personally much better.""High availability is very important to us because we have a production environment. High availability is the highest priority for us to continue keeping our systems running."

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 user interface has room for improvement. We would like this service to be more integrated with Azure, which is very easy to manage and use. It was easy to create volumes and add capacity pools in Azure, but in Google Cloud, we can only create separate volumes. We need more management or configuration options in the user interface.""I would like for the sales team to get in contact more often and let me know what I should be doing next, what we should be doing about new features. So it would be nice if I heard a little bit more from him. From a technology perspective, I have no complaints.""It would help if they increased the area in which they employ artificial intelligence, by starting to do assessments on the environments, to project those. They're not using any AI tools, currently, on the administrative side."

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 →

  • "We don't need so much space, and there is no option to pay as we go or use just what we need. Also, the only way to increase performance is by increasing the level of the service."

AvePoint FLY is a highly-regarded solution that will quickly facilitate the migration and consolidation of data from file shares such as Google Drive, Slack, Dropbox, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 groups, and more, to your Microsoft 365 cloud.

    AvePoint FLY is easy to set up and deploy and very easy to use. It provides for a thorough, speedy migration process that will save you and your organization time and money, while also ensuring any and all regulatory and compliance protocols are being thoroughly satisfied during the entire process.

    Here is a quick rundown of how the solution works:

    Analyze: AvePoint FLY starts with an intuitive analysis tool that can easily identify and determine which files are used regularly and are pertinent versus which files are stale and can be deleted or archived. The software can help enhance the migration planning and overall migration process while avoiding costly potential problems and threats. AvePoint FLY can easily understand what your current architecture comprises and make the very best, most precise decisions regarding your migration to Microsoft 365 cloud. The solution will greatly reduce administration time and will help you avoid costly hiccups and other issues, keeping the migration process moving smoothly at all times.

    Migrate: AvePoint FLY tremendously simplifies the migration process by accurately consolidating the file shares using intuitive, policy-driven controls and solid migration planning to ensure every file share migrates according to your preset plans and protocols. You can choose to migrate in real time or schedule the migration for whenever you desire. The entire migration process can be managed with a simple drag-and-drop selection from the dashboard.

    Monitor: You can closely track the progress and the results of your migration on the very user-friendly, easy-to-understand dashboard to ensure your pre-set, policy-driven controls and protocols are being met every step of the way. There are several different value-added reports available to access that will closely monitor what results and actions are being taken throughout the entire migration process. You can share that information with your clients and necessary team members so that everyone is fully aware of the progress of the migration at all times.

    Support: AvePoint FLY offers outstanding, 24/7 support for the solution and throughout your migration process. There are several different support options available: phone, online, email, and now even a new customer portal.
