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 platform's most valuable features include its backup functionality, particularly the snapshot and image backup capabilities."
"We turn on the solution and it works well for backing up our data, it is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the automated backup, and that you are able to manage all of your devices centrally."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud has very easy backup and recovery capabilities."
"Stability is a ten. No issues, no performance drops, and no crashes."
"One of the best benefits of using Acronis is that it also provides data security along with the backup of data. It checks everything, and that's the main benefit of using Acronis"
"We like the backup functionality."
"Data protection and ransomware protection are the most valuable features of the solution."
"The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"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."

Cons

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"The solution's provisioning of packages and how they are charged could be improved."
"Acronis may claim it's due to security reasons, but I believe there should be an option to delete specific files from old backups stored on the Acronis Cloud. Currently, there is no such feature, and I strongly feel the need for a deletion option for erroneous backups."
"​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."
"We'd like to see more DLP, data loss prevention."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly."
"I keep submitting a request for more flexible reporting. I'd like to create custom reports in my own way, rather than just combining the pre-defined modules."
"We are forced to purchase space in Acronis' private cloud, which is expensive."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"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."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"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."
"The configuration could be made easier."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"The restoration could be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
"The pricing part of the solution is based on a subscription model, which is based on the number of users or storage capacity."
"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
