Essentials for Office 365 versus AvePoint Online Services (AOS)**
|
Issue |
Essentials |
AOS |
| Backup and Restore | Essentials does not provide a mechanism to encrypt customer data in backups and supports very few backup location types.
|
With near zero setup you can automate your Office 365 services backups up to four times a day.
|
| Support for Office 365 Groups and Microsoft Teams | Essentials only supports Office 365 Groups for the purposes of Google Drive migrations or basic reporting.
|
Full provisioning, lifecycle management, recertification, security audits, and much more!
|
| Policy Enforcement | Essentials cannot protect the environment against unwanted changes or proactively enforce governance policies.
|
AOS Cloud Management for Office 365 allows administrators to configure policies, identify policy violations and automatically fix unwanted changes.
|
| Client Install / SaaS Architecture | Essentials must be installed on every computer where the tool is used. This makes centralized reporting difficult.
|
AOS is a full SaaS solution with no install necessary. No install, no updates, and no patching required.
|
| Job Monitoring | Essentials does not provide a method to monitor multiple jobs that may be running at any given time. There is no overview of the job size nor number of items affected.
|
AOS provides comprehensive job monitoring for currently running, pending, and historical jobs. Troubleshooting is a snap.
|
| Integration | Essentials was purchased by Metalogix from Metavis and it has not been fully integrated in the interface or documentation.
|
AOS is organically built from the ground up at AvePoint with interoperability between our cloud services and seamless integration to 3rd party cloud providers. |
If you have ever considered transitioning to AvePoint or you’re concerned with Metalogix’s future direction, there has been no better time than now to make that decision.
