Self-service integration enhances data protection and control over automated backups, offering robust restoration quality
The product is highly recommended for my enterprise customers due to its quality. The score for the product is between eight and ten, based on satisfaction levels. My clients are satisfied, but AvePoint Cloud Backup is costlier for smaller or medium-sized enterprises. Commercial discussions can be challenging on that front. I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10.

Enhanced filtering for advocate emails
Quorum provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history. This is an extreme feature that will help our advocacy department a lot. It encompasses the ability to formulate emails and calls to action across regions. Their platform is more advanced than our previous one. It provides a smooth training experience and easy terminology for those in the advocacy world.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup is super easy."
"Overall, this is a good product and I can recommend it to others."
"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"The backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."
"The recovery options in Microsoft 365 are not adequate and it does not help to recover data from the recycle bin that is older than 90 days. The solution has made us more efficient and helps to recover data that is older than 90 days."
"In extreme cases, we have used the ability to spin up a VM on the Quorum device for use in our production environment, which is a great feature and also very easy to do."
"Quorum OnQ has taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery."
"The ease of recovering from data loss is huge, as well as the peace of mind, knowing that if something does happen, I can have a replacement running in a matter of minutes."
"The most useful feature is the integration and ease of backup and testing."
"The solution is very cost effective."
"It does automated tests to the systems to make sure that you could spin them up if you needed to. And if something doesn't come back up in those tests, we get a notification saying the system didn't come back up."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"I like this product because it is easy to use."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"The configuration could be made easier."
"The restoration could be faster."
"I would like to see improvements in the tool's initial seed. The initial seed of around 10 TB of SharePoint data took 45 days to complete."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"Some customers choose other backup solutions because AvePoint is Office 365 and CRM backup system, but they have other backup needs for Azure and so on."
"There seems to be a lack of technicians. Sometimes they are very busy and I don't hear back for a day or two. The technicians they have are great. They are fantastic, but it seems difficult, at times, to get in contact with anyone."
"At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem."
"The one thing they could do is some tweaking on the web solution that's supposed to monitor everything from one page, rather than having to bring each server up on its own webpage. It doesn't always accurately show what the system's state is at the time, and we have to restart that process now and then."
"There seems to be a lack of technicians. Sometimes they are very busy and I don't hear back for a day or two."
"The more basic versions do not scale."
"Quorum OnQ is limited and does not support all the Linux flavours, and it currently only supports Red Hat-based systems, for example, Ubuntu is not supported."
"Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."
"At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing part of the solution is based on a subscription model, which is based on the number of users or storage capacity."
"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"It is very good for many of my customers in the banking and finance segments. The price isn't a problem there, but in some other industries, people ask for a cheaper solution. When the price is an issue for the customer, we recommend Veeam, Metallic."
"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
"I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
"The solution’s pricing is economical."
"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
"The initial expenditure for us was a little under $40,000 for the recent renewal. For the first three years after that, other than electricity, there's no cost. After that, their support contract has to be renewed annually. We spent close to $6,000, between the two offices, for support."
"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."
"The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
"The pricing is about $1,400 a month. It's a little bit on the higher side. But it's one of those situations where time is valuable for me. So if it costs a little bit more money for me to have a solution that just works and requires less of my day-to-day management, I'm willing to pay a little bit more."
