CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, integrations, company size fit, here is our conclusion:
Mid-market and enterprise teams managing hybrid Microsoft 365 and on-premises environments should pick AvePoint Products because it handles backup and governance where most vendors force you to choose one or the other. The platform covers NIST ID.AM and PR.DS simultaneously,asset discovery paired with data protection across cloud and on-premises,which means you're not buying two separate tools. Skip this if you need detection-first security; AvePoint prioritizes recovery and compliance control, not threat hunting.
Mid-market and enterprise teams facing ransomware threats need FortKnox because its air-gapped virtual vault makes encrypted backups genuinely unreachable during active attacks, not just theoretically so. The immutable snapshots with retention locks address NIST PR.DS and RC.RP functions that most backup tools treat as afterthoughts, while integrated threat scanning before restore prevents you from recovering compromised data. Skip this if your organization can tolerate a longer recovery window; the isolation model trades some restore speed for the certainty that your backup tier stays isolated even when production infrastructure is already encrypted.
