AvePoint Fly Migrator is the perfect tool for pushing extremely large files, such as pst files up to the cloud. Where it also comes into its own when sending entire folder structures and their contents up to the cloud. The AvePoint Fly Migrator makes this process a simple fire-and-forget task.
I use AvePoint Cloud Backup to protect Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and Microsoft Teams data. I needed a solution which can do multiple backups a day automatically. The solution chosen had to be cost effective as well.
Pros
Multiple backups a day
Able to bring own storage
Set and forget
Cons
Support can be difficult to deal with
Restoring data is not always consistent with original content
User interface is not intuitive
Likelihood to Recommend
If backing up simple data use case scenarios such as basic web content, the product is ok. If the SharePoint site has complexities such as apps, customizations, metadata and content types, it will struggle to restore content correctly which is very painful to fix.

On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best), I would recommend AvePoint Cloud Backup for Office 365 if asked by a colleague. It's well suited for a medium to large business where email/365 backup is important and critical to running the business. It may be overkill for a small business.

As an MSP for other small and medium businesses, we utilize AvePoint's Confidence Platform, mainly their SaaS Cloud Backup solution, to back up our client's Microsoft 365 environments. AvePoint Confidence Platform's backup solution provides a single pane of glass for all of our backup customers, giving us insights into failed backups, exceptions, or other issues that may arise. It is a great way to provide a sense of comfort to our clients, knowing that their data can be recovered in a matter of minutes.
Pros
It provides a point in time backup solution with immediate restore points
The insights it provides for any backup issues is invaluable, and allows us to remediate the issue immediately
The setup process is super straight forward, with detailed instructions from start to finish, and once set up, management is a breeze
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.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
