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 feature of the solution is the ease of installation it provides its users.""The main benefit of the product is its backup feature."

More Bareos Pros →

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use.""When it comes to recovering what you need from a backup, it's really easy. You just drill through the directory, find the file and the date that you want, and click to recover. You then pick the directory you want to save it in. Usually, it takes a minute or two and it's done. It's quick and easy.""Quorum OnQ has taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery.""The most useful feature is the one-click recovery.""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.""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."

More Quorum OnQ Pros →

Cons
"The tool is not user-friendly.""The virtual machine backup is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."

More Bareos Cons →

"Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed.""We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them.""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.""At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem.""I paid for subscription of Firewall. I paid for subscription of endpoint protection. Thet should introduce single subscription for all services.""The price of Quorum OnQ could be improved. We were exploring the product in terms of having a partnership with the distributor so that we could operate as a service, but for our own use, within the company, we couldn't justify the price unless the servers would become an option later on. The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep.""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.""I don't love the scheduler, as I think that interface could use an overhaul."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We used the free community version of the solution."
  • "I use the open-source version of Bareos, which means I used the free version of the solution."
  • More Bareos 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."
