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.
Edward Hore - PeerSpot reviewer

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."
"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."
"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 backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
"The initial setup is super easy."
"I like the backup and backup copy features."
"Regarding the initial setup and configuration, I find it straightforward and it should not be more simplified because users are able to back up most environments within minutes."
"In Veeam backup, the most valuable feature for me is the recovery. It allows me to recover almost immediately while I continue fixing the problem of the affected machine."
"Very user-friendly and easily recoverable."
"Veeam ONE has proven to be a reliable tool not just for backups but also for general hypervisor management."
"Veeam ONE is a very good management product...The technical support is very good, and I think it's one of the best. The response time is very quick."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is definitely very useful and simple to learn, and the restoring processes are very straightforward, making it a very solid product."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The restoration could be faster."
"The configuration could be made easier."
"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"It would be nice if it could be integrated with third-party solutions like ours. It has been supporting just Windows and virtual machines."
"The product must improve its performance."
"A backup and replication solution should be able to back up a system and do recovery very fast. Even though Veeam Backup & Replication is able to meet most of our needs, it would be better if they can make it faster for backup and restore."
"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."
"The VMotion feature is not reliable enough to ensure a successful migration operation."
"I think Veeam ONE should be included in the base product instead of as an add-on because customers tend to look for simple solutions that are integrated."
"Veeam Backup Replication is a bit difficult to use. If you have used other solutions such as Commvault, you will find it is much easier to use. Veeam Backup Replication does backups in a different way that is not as simple as other solutions. Doing backups of SQL Servers is much easier in Commvault. However, the difficulty could be the lack of experience I have had with Veeam Backup Replication."
"Veeam does image-based backups, whether it be of virtual machines or physical workloads, and they are able to back up general applications like Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. Sometimes, even Oracle and SAP. But still, there are many customers using other types of databases that Veeam does not natively support. For example, in the Linux area, MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported, but with many limitations. Like, if a customer is running a Postgres cluster, Veeam does not support that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing part of the solution is based on a subscription model, which is based on the number of users or storage capacity."
"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"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."
"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
"I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"The licensing fee depends on the licensing model we choose."
"I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."
"It is an affordable solution."
"The product is expensive."
"The license is a bit expensive."
"We try to use perpetual licensing, and there are no additional costs. They have recently moved to universal licensing, which is more expensive, and I would like them to go back to host licensing."
"The price of this product is very good."
"The price of the solution could be lower."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
