AvePoint Cloud Backup vs. SkyKick

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.

SkyKick does a great job on migrations to Office 365. Their technicians are very helpful in planning the whole process, and the tool itself is quite reliable and resilient. Their cloud backup works OK but it does not provide the most friendly or fastest recovery. It also sits on the expensive side as they charge separately for Exchange and Onedrive/Sharepoint backups.

• backups
• admin site
• user management

• Customer Interface for Backups
• Migration support team
• Comprehensive backup suite

• Support can be difficult to deal with
• Restoring data is not always consistent with original content
• User interface is not intuitive

• Response time and [ease] to get hold of
• Integration with 3rd party apps for billing

Responsive, technically capable, and friendly. Ive always had a good experience working with SkyKick su[[ort.

AvePoint Cloud Backup for Office 365 stacks up against Datto Backupify well. Although I feel that Datto's Backupify was a bit easier to configure and setup, and process backups. Probably because I have experience with it, but overall I do feel that it is easier to use than AvePoint.

For migration purposes, we have chosen SkyKick over and over again. Their tool just works and does a great job with multiple different sources. Their support team is awesome albeit could be somewhat faster sometimes. Regarding cloud backup, it seems like that space is quite commoditized as every vendor offers the same. SkyKick does have some good promotions on migration costs when signing up for cloud backups as well which makes them more competitive than other vendors.

• Setup can be ok if scans complete correctly and it saves time
• Can be 100% secure if bring own storage and keys
• Usually can back up 4 times a day

• Profitable migration business
• Profitable backup solution
• Delivers peace of mind to clients and improves our brand as trusted cloud vendor
