Osiris vs. AvePoint Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365
| Fact | Source | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Subscription-based licensing across the AvePoint Confidence Platform, described by the vendor as flexing "to your unique business needs." | AvePoint Pricing | Confirmed, official |
| Pricing basis varies by product: some are priced by user count, others by the amount of data protected or migrated. No standard price point is published for Cloud Backup on the official pricing page. | AvePoint Pricing | Confirmed, official |
| One third-party reseller listing showed a rate of £0.85 per user per month. This is not an AvePoint-published figure and is flagged as reseller-sourced, not treated as the official price. | Third-party reseller page (not avepoint.com) | Low: reseller-sourced, explicitly not official |
| Restore options include original-location or alternate-location restore, and granular restore of an individual file, version, permission or setting; a "security roll-back" feature can undo unintended permission changes. | About AvePoint Cloud Backup | Confirmed, official |
| A "Quick check" feature reviews backup/scan-profile configuration and service-account health; a "Job Monitor" tracks restore-job progress and produces a report. No dedicated, separately named automated end-to-end restore-verification feature was found beyond this configuration and job monitoring. | AvePoint Learn documentation | Moderate: negative finding on a specifically named feature, not an exhaustive audit of the whole platform |
| Not open source. | Absence checked across the pages above | Confirmed (negative finding) |
| Storage is AvePoint's own cloud backend; no customer-storage or BYO-S3 option was found in the pages checked. | Same pages, absence checked directly | Confirmed (negative finding, this pass) |
How Osiris differs
AvePoint's pricing page is candid that it will "craft a unique pricing plan for you" rather than publish one, which is a legitimate enterprise-sales approach, but it means nobody can compare AvePoint's actual cost without a sales conversation. Osiris's full price list, including what happens after year one, is onone public page. AvePoint's granular restore and security-rollback features are genuinely useful and worth crediting; Osiris's own restore is non-destructive by default rather than needing a rollback step after the fact (see thebackup and restore overview).
