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.

For different projects in a big organization different teams can be formed and thus their internal tasks assignments can be done there. It is easy to manage, assign tasks to people in a particular project. People or team leads in multiple projects can share different channels thus maintaining different projects. Users should be refrained of creating new teams just for fun purpose etc. to avoid to much chaos.

  • Manage channels - the level of detail of managing what channels are created and how they function is great.
  • Manage users - it's easy to manage owners of team sites, along with members and guests.
  • Analytics - being able to review how each team site and the channel is being used is extremely helpful and can point out areas of weakness or concern.

Cons
  • 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.

  • Branding of Microsoft Teams over Skype Needs done.
  • Making calls through Teams has not been very successful.

Usability
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 a well-designed and polished application on Teams. Most of its issues stem from Teams UI and UX, which could be improved further. However, if you can fit the team manager to your needs, it can become a very powerful tool to manage data flow.

Alternatives Considered
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.

Similar teams meeting management software with totally different functionality. It was used briefly in a one-off trial but was never implemented due to the dominance of Teams and Zoom. It's essential to use software that most people can access, or at least quickly obtain, for holding meetings with people outside of your organization.
