Overall, the experience has been really good. We had some issues with features that were missing, and licensing has been a pain to keep updated, but the project went well to implement, and the product works as expected.

“AvePoint Fly Migration Tool Effective But Complex Configuration Needed”

3.0
May 9, 2025
Our AvePoint Account Executive is pretty responsive and great to work with. The Fly migration tool seems to work well with our data migrations so far. The Fly tool can be complicated to understand at first due to all the policies and settings configuration, but once you understand how the migration works, it will get easier. Their User Guide can get complicated as well due to so many explanations of each product and setup. It would be great if AvePoint had provided more demo videos on how to setup their tools and more detailed explanations. A step-by-step explanation would have been better than reading through the whole User Guide.

AvePoint Confidence Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

We like the self-service MyHub portal for our end users and the insight into our environment that we were missing or was buried too deep in Microsoft's platform to find. Having control of who can create resources and what data we collect at the time of the request has been great!

Like

The AvePoint Fly migration tool works great most of the time as long as you configure it correctly.

Like

1. Automated Data Governance: The ability to seamlessly classify and manage data based on predefined rules has significantly reduced manual efforts and helped us improve our compliance standings. 2. Policy Enforcement and Monitoring: AvePoint allows us to ensure consistent enforcement of security and compliance policies across SharePoint Online and M365. These are spaces where a misconfiguration can be costly. 3. Data Unification: Being able to securely and reliably bring our data into a single location has been a game changer for our workflows and employee productivity.

Dislike

We wish that certain parts of the product were more customizable to our needs. Support has been good, but our situation has lagged behind in updates due to how it's implemented. We wish there were better end-user documentation to share with our end users on how to use the various portals (MyHub, Recenter, etc). Lastly, the products all seem very disconnected, and it's hard to know what to use when.

Dislike

We had some issues with the AvePoint user licensing model which was not similar to other companies' user licenses assignment and so we had to change over to their object model licensing. Also, getting an engineer to assist us as part of our Essential package took 2 weeks which is too long considering our tight project timeline. The AvePoint Fly tool works great once you configure all the policies and settings correctly, but there are so many settings that it can get complicated. AvePoint Support can lack knowledge and hands on help from their call support will just provide you with the same User Guide information which doesn't help you resolve your migration errors and problems. The Fly tool is also slow at certain times opening the GUI screen interface and can get frustrating.

Dislike

1. The platform is excellent, however the reporting capabilities, while solid, lack some of the customization options required for more advanced analytics. 2. Your data governance policies might not be a 1:1 with the options offered by AvePoint, some additional customization here would be nice. 3. The initial onboarding period can be tedious.

    AvePoint has been an excellent tool for us in ensuring compliance, risk management, and data governance across our organization's different collaboration platforms such as SharePoint and other M365 tools. It helps us with automating our data classification and streamlining our security policy enforcement. Doing so has significantly smoothed out our data governance processes and given our organization peace of mind by storing our data within a trusted location.
