Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources.""The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature.""The solution has an effective overwrite feature.""The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered.""It also saves costs and is quick.""It works well as a backup and as a service.""When I was using an on-premises backup, there was an external hard drive or something like that. I had a backup server, but I had a few problems related to transfer when I had to restore something that I have deleted. I had to wait for after-office hours to do something like that, but now I just have to send a mail. Within one hour, I have my restored file.""The most valuable feature is its ease of use."

"I like this product because it is easy to use.""The solution is very cost effective.""It's easy to implement, easy to spin up, easily configurable, to drop-in appliances and network. There wasn't a lot of time needed to spin it up.""A very high level security environment for secondary data.""From a disaster-recovery point of view, one of the things I really like is that I can test the virtual copy of the physical server on a test network and compare the servers side-by-side, without interfering with the production network. So I can see and make sure that the latest copy of the server is the physical copy of the server, without interfering with production.""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 stable solution.""Quorum OnQ has taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery."

Cons
"This backup tool does the full backup of the entire snapshot server. I would like to have the option to not do the full server backup.""The service disconnects a lot.""AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS.""When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient.""To create a plan and for all the configuration, one has to do multiple steps, which could be organized in a much simpler way, making the user experience better.""The notifications on the backup and on the mobile app could be more useful. If they could arrange notes or notifications properly and offer services for managing it in our region, it would be helpful for us.""The initial setup of the solution is complex.""The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."

More AWS Backup Cons →

"Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu.""It feels to me like it's going to be a little bit more work than I originally anticipated when upgrading the appliance. I haven't done that yet so I can't speak from true experience, but I went through the project plan and it feels to me like there's quite a number of pieces and components and things that have to be done. Quorum is going to manage the rollout, but in starting the initial conversation there were a lot of unanswered questions""I paid for subscription of Firewall. I paid for subscription of endpoint protection. Thet should introduce single subscription for all services.""I don't love the scheduler, as I think that interface could use an overhaul.""They need integration with other platforms.""It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular.""Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive.""The user interface needs to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We don't use a lot of space, only approximately 900 GB, so the price is reasonable. For standing, it's okay. We normally do a payment to SSML, and they are the ones who pay over there. It is around $100 monthly."
  • "There is a lot of flexibility with the services and pricing. The price is reasonable when compared to other products. This is very good for us."
  • "There are no licensing costs for AWS Backup. You pay only for the amount of backup storage you use and then the data transferred between regions. Overall AWS Backup is priced reasonably."
  • "Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
  • "The solution's price is reasonable."
  • "Price-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten. One only has to pay for the storage cost of AWS solutions, which is the standard cost provided by AWS."
  • "Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
  • "The pricing is decent."

  • "We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
  • "When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
  • "The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
  • "The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
  • "The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
