AvePoint Confidence Platform vs. Netwrix Access Analyzer

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.

StealthAUDIT is great if you need historical information about changes that are going on in your environment. However, if you are looking at getting real-time information you will need to use StealthBits other product StealthIntercept.

• 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.
