Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR).""What I love about Azure Site Recovery is its simplicity for basic configurations.""The most valuable feature is the visibility of what is happening with our business as well as the good reporting and dashboards.""Azure Site Recovery allows my company to save around 30 percent of the time on every VM that we need to back up and restore.""Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery.""The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable.""It is a very stable product and very scalable.""The most useful thing is that it provides a snapshot of your environment in about 15 minutes. It is stable, and it always works. It is also scalable and easy to set up."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use.""One of the most valuable features was the usability, since many of the features were very straightforward. The backup and restoration process was also very fast. Although we weren't able to fully test the scenarios, one of the features was that we could have it restored on a remote site. However, since we were on-prem, we weren't able to test the remote site restoration.""It is a stable solution.""A very high level security environment for secondary data.""I have used the BMR (Bare Metal Restore) in several emergencies and it has absolutely saved my bacon.""The change in the way that Quorum processes data has made a tremendous improvement in backup and replication times. While the familiar interface remains, the underpinnings have been finely tuned and the speed is incredible. My large Exchange Server went from 5- to 6-hour backups down to 22 minutes.""Being able to spin up a machine in a sandbox is amazing because it allows us to test things that we otherwise would not be able to do.""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."

Cons
"The immutable backup could be better.""I conveyed the feedback to the agent, suggesting an increase in the agent count in our VNS in the USA. I also addressed notification concerns, as some issues didn't trigger alerts during a recent call.""Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability.""Could have more integration with other platforms.""It is for site-to-site replication. When something goes wrong on your site, you only get 15 minutes before it also goes wrong on your replicated site. There should be some way to be able to say that we want to restore it, but we want to restore it to the version from yesterday. It should support versioning. I would also like to see real-time scanning for advanced threat protection, more straightforward billing, and quicker turnaround on the tech support.""When it runs, it runs well but when it doesn't run, the solution needs to make it clearer as to why and what the troubleshooting process is. All this would be possible if the error logging was streamlined a bit.""The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing.""Site Recovery's scalability could be improved."

More Azure Site Recovery Cons →

"We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them.""They need integration with other platforms.""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.""At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem.""It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular.""I would like to see iSCSI support added so that NAS storage servers could be protected. We heavily utilize NAS storage and the risk there is minimal backup options. Currently, we are backing up NAS to NAS which is costly and slow. Being able to integrate NAS server backup would be the last item on my Quorum bucket list.""Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive.""I don't love the scheduler, as I think that interface could use an overhaul."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It should have more straightforward billing. The billing was what got funky. It was really cheap. We would pay based on the usage. We paid around $225 a month for site-to-site replication."
  • "I'm not sure about the Azure Site Recovery pricing, but my organization gets monthly bills from providers."
  • "The tool's licensing is yearly and not expensive."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
  • "They have a license to pay."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is affordable."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is a very reasonably priced product."
  • More Azure Site Recovery Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
