Axel Peter Brox - PeerSpot reviewer
Hospitality Specialist at Bechtle
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.

Cons

"​For you to actually see the full logs, you have to use additional tools or even contact support so they can pull them with own tools."
"User interface improvements: I think this needs to be done in the navigation path into the UIs, mainly for the reseller interfaces."
"They could improve the detection rates of the antivirus."
"On the client-side, the antivirus engine was slowing down their finance server terribly."

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