AvePoint's Confidence Platform is very well suited for all businesses, specifically those on a budget, who are looking to secure, harden, and manage their Microsoft 365 environment. Their stack includes products to migrate data, back up data, secure and maintain data, apply custom policies around data management, and get valuable insights into how your data is being used. I cannot think of a scenario where their products would not be well suited for a company, because data management is critical.
In our experience and use of the SaaS service, it met all requirements we had. It worked really well in every single scenario that we used it for. Our company would work exclusively with Microsoft o365 so I can't speak for the Gsuite tooling. The one place I would have liked to see a bit of a facelift would be how it broke out the charge by users.
I am not confident in their Exchange migration tool, which in the past, has not been a reliable method for data migrations
Some of the products in their stack are very complex, and without some hand holding, it can be cumbersome to set up and maintain
I would like to see live support options, which don't seem to be available at the moment. You are forced to create a ticket, then wait until a support agent reaches out to you.
Overall, I think AvePoint's Confidence Platform, and specifically, their backup solution and data migration solution, are very user friendly, even for a novice. Their knowledge base for the products is extensive, and provides detailed instructions for almost everything you will be doing within their platform. They also have a very knowledgeable support staff, and their products are tailored to make your company more secure.
It is better than Veeam since it can backup more different types of data such as Project Online and Public Folders. Setup is generally easier if support is there to help.
We also use Barracuda Backup to backup Office 365 for some of our clients who also use Barracuda Email security products. Each product is a tool, and it is necessary to understand each client's needs before determining which product is best for them. Having said that, Barracuda Backup and Datto SaaS are the two best products in my opinion.
The Datto SaaS protection is exactly what we were looking for to enable my clients back up their cloud data (M365, OneDrive, Teams, etc.).
All Datto options are designed such that minimum daily engagement with the product is necessary to still be able to easily pick up and leave, as is the case with this one.
In addition to its ease of use and low cost relative to its high value, we appreciate how affordable it is for us as well as our clients. I highly recommend it.
