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.

Cloud backups have strengthened ransomware recovery and now protect critical business data

I see several areas where Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery could be improved. First is the architectural design and configuration, along with operational maturity, as well as security integration. The performance of support can definitely be improved with easier on-call support features for P1 and P2 incidents. Getting quick support from the vendor during major recoveries or disasters would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, improving the strength of ransomware protections, addressing critical gaps in deployments, enforcing backup immutability policies, and making disaster recovery testing routine instead of an ad hoc process are important. Validating that I can quickly recover data should be a priority, and improved runbooks or operational maturity platforms would be beneficial for data recovery from critical incidents.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, this is a good product and I can recommend it to others."

"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."

"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."

"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 initial setup is super easy."

"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."

"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."

More AvePoint Cloud Backup pros

"Infrascale has been great for us and for the relationship with this client."

"Overall, this product is really solid and they're a very good company to work with."

"For this particular client, the solution’s Critical Server Insurance feature that protects physical and virtual servers including Windows, Linux, VMware, and Hyper-V, was a very big factor as well. They have a bunch of physical servers, as well as virtual. The mix is predominantly virtual. They also have some NAS boxes that we back up using Infrascale."

"If you want something that works and is reliable, here it is."

"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using this product is that we should have switched years before we did."

"The overall ease of use and ease of management of the solution using the Infrascale dashboard is excellent. I'd rate it 10 out of 10 because the dashboard is very simple to use. For someone with a technical background, it's a wonderful piece of software to be using in a cloud environment. But if you're not technical, then it might be a problem. It could be confusing for non-technical people. If you don't know what you're doing, you could kind of screw it up. Any human with two brain cells can do it. It's like anything else. So, once you train a human, they're good. Anybody can do it. Anybody with a competent brain can use it and go with a little bit of technical skill. It might be confusing in the beginning, but once you're trained up and you've used it a little bit, like anything else in your life, it'll be easy. They'll come as normal."

"Overall, I set it up, configured it, deployed it, and walked away from it; it just chugs away happily."

"The recovery of data is the most valuable feature. The software backup, which is just a program that gets installed on a server, can back up to the cloud. You can install that on a server or PC, and that will simply back up a user's files and folders. If it is installed on the server, we just back up the relevant data. Recovering that, if there has been a malicious attack on a business or anything like that, has been invaluable in the past. The good features about that are obviously, if the physical hardware has a problem, then we can utilize the appliance, turn on the virtual machine, and carry on running the business while we put the hardware back and correct the issue."

Cons

"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."

"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."

"The configuration could be made easier."

"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."

"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."

"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 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."

More AvePoint Cloud Backup cons

"There could be some room for improvement in the on-premises hardware selection."

"They set me up as a vendor, not as a client. So sometimes I end up in the wrong portal and I'm doing vendor things instead of client things, and I didn't realize that right away. Once I figured it out I just changed my favorites on my desktop to go to the client-side."

"In terms of what I would like to see, it would be to make the solution available across multiple clouds."

"There is room for improvement by making the interface a little more intuitive when navigating to recover flat files or an old server."

"I'm a little bit disappointed that over the last year and a half, there hasn't been too much contact from them regarding what's going to be new or coming out."

"The customer was probably down for about three days; this was a very difficult situation for us to be in."

"Today, they are not as cost-efficient as many other places, but I'm comfortable, I trust the service."

"The problem is that sometimes you can use a lot of the bandwidth to upload files."

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."

"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."

"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."

"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."

"The pricing is pretty good and competitive with the market. The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others."

"I appreciate their pricing. We went for this solution for its pricing."

"The licensing structure was changed some time ago and it's a lot more efficient and the price points are a lot better. They're improving and heading in the right direction."

"The appliances have different prices because of storage, size, and memory. For example, the older machines support more virtual machines, whereas the new one only supports one virtual machine. As we have purchased the later appliances, they have probably been a little bit more expensive because they have to be good enough to keep the business running if the physical server goes down. We learned our lesson from the one that went down when we tried to run products and it wasn't quick enough."

"The licensing is based on how much data you have plus what appliances you need."

"Pricing of the product could be improved. It definitely makes it a harder sell. They will usually end up getting close to the price we need, but I have to go through everybody to get the price reduced. Their list pricing is significantly higher than that of other solutions."

"Our licensing fees are billed every four months."

"The pricing is fair, and they are interested in working with MSPs as part of their market."
