Self-service integration enhances data protection and control over automated backups, offering robust restoration quality
The product is highly recommended for my enterprise customers due to its quality. The score for the product is between eight and ten, based on satisfaction levels. My clients are satisfied, but AvePoint Cloud Backup is costlier for smaller or medium-sized enterprises. Commercial discussions can be challenging on that front. I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The agent, which is installed on the system, can do Quality of Service."
"Acronis has carved out a really good name for themselves and they're a trusted backup software system, and it's mainly from reliability."
"The product offers very easy configuration capabilities."
"The product is a good anti-ransomware solution."
"The most valuable feature I have found the be the management console it is very easy to use and automation is important. Additionally, overall the solution is easy to use."
"The management, backup, and recovery features are all very good."
"It has one console for many loads and one backup for many recovery options. Converting backups as a virtual machine offers an edge as a low-cost Disaster Recovery solution."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature for me because I can manage backups and teams in one console."
"The recovery options in Microsoft 365 are not adequate and it does not help to recover data from the recycle bin that is older than 90 days. The solution has made us more efficient and helps to recover data that is older than 90 days."
"I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10."
"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."
"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
 

Cons

"Advanced backup is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I would like to see more mature XDR and EDR features. Additionally, for backups, I would like more replication options beyond the current VMXI replication."
"I would like to see enhancements made to the security."
"The pricing policies could be improved. So in future releases of the product, I would like to see better pricing, primarily."
"Its mailbox migration feature needs improvement."
"They could support Linux OS primarily for servers."
"Some proactive alerts or emails are not currently available."
"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."
"The restoration could be faster."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"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 product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"I would like to see improvements in the tool's initial seed. The initial seed of around 10 TB of SharePoint data took 45 days to complete."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"The configuration could be made easier."
