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.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance
One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"For me personally, the best feature in AvePoint Cloud Backup is mostly its ease of use."
"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."
"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
"Overall, this is a good product and I can recommend it to others."
"It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on and has compatible features."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"It excels in performance and delivery but they are quiet on the market."
 

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."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"The configuration could be made easier."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"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 challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"Licensing has been a struggle."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"Other people will prefer this solution because they're used to it. However, from my point of view, you have more breaks, more failures on it than you will with Commvault."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"The program is quite expensive and I am not impressed by their technical support."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
 

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."
"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
"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."
"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"The program is quite expensive."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
