Hi everyone,
We are in the process of reviewing tools to assist with management of oour SharePoint environments.We are looking at a tool that can assist with the day-to-day management of the farm, sites, and content. What we also need is reporting on user access, implement setting accross sites/libraries (e.g. versioning etc.).
We have a relatively small farm, and let’s assume finances is not an issue. We also need good support, since we do not have the appetite or the resources to struggle with a 3rd party app when things goes pear-shaped.
We’ve had demo’s by both these parties, but I’d like to hear from “the people on the ground” 🙂
Sales people tell you all the nice tales, which is right, but I need an objective (well, as far as possible) view from the community. Your assistance and comments would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I’m a fan of Axceler’s and AvePoint… They both have issues but it comes down to the Admin and configuration IMO. I’m at a client site right now where a support ticket has been opened with AvePoint for 3 months now and the client doesn’t have any backup using AvePoint. I had to use my MVP status just to get the ticket escalated. I’ve used Axceler’s products in 80% of my engagements and again with the proper configuration and architecture to support the product it’s fantastic.
