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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I am from Perú, and IT departments are not very advanced here; basically, it is way better than whatever we are used to using, tapes, etc."
"The management, backup, and recovery features are all very good."
"I have found many of the backup options valuable such as logging the event backup and the ability to run an analysis of the backup before you start for problems."
"The agent, which is installed on the system, can do Quality of Service."
"Part of the reason we selected Acronis as our backup solution is their amazing support and installation."
"Due to the licensing and deployment, it's scalable and flexible."
"The most valuable feature is disaster recovery."
"The product offers very easy configuration capabilities."
"The backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."
"The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes."
"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it."
"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."
"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
"I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10."
 

Cons

"There are some compatibility issues that could be improved."
"The solution's provisioning of packages and how they are charged could be improved."
"It will be good if Acronis can provide more documentation and videos describing how to do different things. Their documentation is good, but it is without examples. They don't have lots of videos. They should put more videos on YouTube to show how to set up certain things, how to restore, and how to back up. They should provide step-by-step documentation and videos for specific scenarios. I would like them to improve the command line feature. The command line is not working smoothly, and there is some problem with it. If the command line is improved, it will take the product to the next level. It would be great if it can back up data from storage so that people are able to back up old data. Such a feature will make it an enterprise solution for a full backup."
"Licensing costs could be improved."
"Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing."
"Support could be improved, and awareness is important."
"I would like to see enhancements made to the security."
"The platform's interface could be user-friendly."
"The restoration could be faster."
"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."
"The configuration could be made easier."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"For me, it is very difficult to say how AvePoint Cloud Backup can be improved because I am not working on those implementation projects."
"The component in the product that can be improved revolves around the area where the tool should focus on providing more of a custom touch to the policies."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution costs around 75 USD for 1TB per month."
