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

"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"The backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."
"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."
"Overall, this is a good product and I can recommend it to others."
"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 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"
"Hornet offers unlimited space and time for backups as long as the subscription is continued."
 

Cons

"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."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"The configuration could be made easier."
"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."
"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"The restoration could be faster."
"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."
"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 price might be limiting for some clients in Latin America."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
"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."
"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"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."
"I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
