Data workflows have become automated and unified while support and security still need improvement
There are times when you are streaming and trying to connect that CData Sync fails. However, the team has been very helpful. There is a particular technical support person that has usually come to my aid whenever there are issues. For improvement, I think the turnaround time for support can increase, especially on weekends. I want to discuss the security of CData Sync. It is not something I actually have visibility to, but I think if CData Sync could give users the opportunity to put their own security layer on this, that would be beneficial. If CData Sync is compromised, who do we hold responsible? So security is an area for improvement. CData Sync's interface is good. For integration with other tools, I think CData Sync could do well by integrating with other providers, especially AI agents so that one can easily integrate CData Sync to more agents out there.

Works at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
Backup storage has shrunk dramatically with deduplication but still needs stronger security options
The air gap feature is something I'd really like to see in QoreStor. There's no native air gap capability right now, and for security-conscious environments, that's a gap. The configuration export is also limited in QoreStor. If you want to document your setup or migrate configuration to a new instance, it requires more manual work than it should.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The beautiful thing about CData Sync is that you can preview the data directly on their UI."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature. It saves us a lot of space. When we back up 100 terabytes of data, after dedupe, it only uses maybe five to six terabytes for the disk space in QoreStor."
"We need revisions and safe backup so that it could be held up in court, but deduplication and compression are the main features why we have Quest QoreStor. That's where it really shines. I use ZFS and XFS at home, and Quest QoreStor is even better."
"Quest QoreStor definitely saved us money."
"It integrates with various backup software solutions, which makes it compatible with existing backup workflows and processes."
"If storage costs are a problem, whether on-premises or cloud, QoreStor is worth a serious look."
"QoreStor has helped to reduce our backup storage requirements on-premise by at least 90%."
"The dedupe and compression are pretty extreme. On disk, we're getting dedupe rates of up to 65 percent of data and compression of 34 percent. When you go to the cloud, it's more like 76 percent for dedupe and almost 50 percent for compression."
"I would rate QoreStor a ten out of ten for what it offers for the price."
 

Cons

"There are times when you are streaming and trying to connect that CData Sync fails."
"The installation could use improvement. The initial installation was a little touchy and it's not really user-installable. You have to have a connection to support to install."
"There can be some kind of monitoring solutions to alert users to issues with the appliance or software, making it easy for customers to monitor their systems in the field."
"The importance of support is significant to me. I was working for a service provider, and all of our customers had a Quest or warning. Sometimes the support really underperforms."
"The setup of the software is definitely not the easiest thing in the world."
"Overall, I am happy with this solution, but a way to export configuration settings would be beneficial."
"In terms of improvement, we would like to have an Air Gap feature to prevent a virus from attaching to something. So that when we don't do a backup, we want the QoreStor to stay offline. It would be a nice feature to have."
"Overall, I am happy with this solution, but a way to export configuration settings would be beneficial. After everything is set up and configured, there should be a way to export the configuration. In case something happens to the QoreStor server, and we need to reinstall and configure everything, being able to import the configuration would be helpful. This feature does not currently exist."
"The air gap feature is something I'd really like to see in QoreStor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The cost is per terabyte, and overall, the cost was reasonable when compared to some competitors."
"Quest QoreStor's pricing is affordable. We evaluated Veeam, a well-known company for backup solutions, but found their pricing to be quite high. Veeam's price was almost double. For us, Quest QoreStor is very affordable."
"The pricing is good. It is competitive for a managed services provider. I like the ability to pay by the terabyte, allowing for an incremental cost that we and our customers can afford, so the solution grows with the customer."
"Its pricing model is very attractive. You have one price, and you get everything from QoreStor."
