Featured Reviews

Hendrik Belitz - PeerSpot reviewer
Has a straightforward setup process and valuable data security policies
The product's sales process needs improvement. It takes a lot of work to acquire it. AvePoint doesn't sell products directly to the customers. They take the help of IT system distributors. It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it. This particular area needs improvement compared to other companies.
SanjayMishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Lightweight, easy to install and configure, and it does its job automatically
One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console. Currently, Druva can manage only one Office 365 tenant per console. As a customer, I should be able to manage all Office 365 tenants from a single console. This is one product feature I am looking for.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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."
"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."
"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"The configuration could be made easier."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"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."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"The backup time is very poor. The backup runs continuously. It goes on from morning till night. The system performance also becomes very poor when Druva inSync is running."
"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."
"The speed could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"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."
"It is very good for many of my customers in the banking and finance segments. The price isn't a problem there, but in some other industries, people ask for a cheaper solution. When the price is an issue for the customer, we recommend Veeam, Metallic."
"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
"The pricing is good."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."
