Quorum OnQ needs better disaster recovery, cloud integration, NAS support, user interface, pricing, email notifications, and hardware support.

The URL for our environments is the same, making it confusing for management when handling different departments with different needs.

Quorum OnQ's pricing is cost-effective for enterprises despite high initial costs due to integrated support and value recovery features.
It's a little expensive.

Quorum OnQ offers quick recovery, user-friendly management, strong security, fast backups, and cost-effectiveness, enhancing its overall appeal.
The features I find most valuable are ease of backup, ease of restore, the full restore, just getting some data out of a backup server or even the applications that are in the server, going through the database or going to Exchange.
Quorum OnQ provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history.

Featured Reviews

Thomas Roes - PeerSpot reviewer
Ease of backup and restore improves data management with reliable support
The interface of BDRSuite Backup & Replication is pretty intuitive. Regarding their marketing strategy, I'm very bad at marketing. I always get a little edgy when people try to shove their product in my face. There are two sides to the story. If you don't know something exists, you might not even start to look for it unless you really know that you need it. If you are explicitly looking for a solution, then you'll find it. People that don't know that they should do backup don't have a place in IT. I rate BDRSuite Backup & Replication 8.5 out of 10.
Mohamed Iqbal - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable and economical solution that provides quick disaster recovery
The most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery. We call it a single-click recovery. If any server goes down, crashes, or experiences downtime, we can bring up the DR (Disaster Recovery) server in just two minutes. We also have a "Single Pane of Glass," wherein we work with only a single window. You don't have to use multiple windows to perform basic tasks like failover or failback.
