Gartner Market Guide for Cloud Backup

According to Gartner®, more than 65% of cloud backup operations are currently performed using cloud hyperscaler-provided native tools. While these tools provide a basic safety net, they create a fragmented environment for organizations operating in multiple clouds.

AvePoint believes we were recognized by Gartner in this report based on our ability to help customers and partners:

• Eliminate Multicloud Silos: Replace fragmented native tools with a single, unified backup strategy across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
• Restore Data Instantly: Go beyond "all-or-nothing" recovery with granular, object-level restores that minimize business downtime.
• Control Hidden Costs: Gain full transparency into backup expenses, including often-overlooked API, compute, and transaction fees.
