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

"CData Sync is a good tool."
"CData Sync has impacted my organization positively and immensely as I have been using it for years now with smooth integrations, a really good UI interface, really good support staff, and I have never experienced downtime with the system itself."
"The beautiful thing about CData Sync is that you can preview the data directly on their UI."
"Quest QoreStor is very stable compared to our previous solution."
"Quest QoreStor definitely saved us money."
"I would rate QoreStor a ten out of ten for what it offers for the price."
"It integrates with various backup software solutions, which makes it compatible with existing backup workflows and processes."
"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."
"The features we use for the data deduplication are nice because we're able to back up a much larger amount of data, yet it doesn't necessarily take up that much data on the devices."
"Data deduplication and replication would be the top two features. The encryption and cloud tiering are also attractive for the future."
"QoreStor has helped us to reduce our backup storage requirements on-premises. We've been using the same devices for quite a while, and so it lets us keep using them as opposed to having to rip out all that hardware and create a new on-prem solution. The advantage here is even if we had to retire the hardware tomorrow, the QoreStor part doesn't change. We just have to have additional hardware and put the solution back on whatever hardware we pick and it'll do the same thing."
 

Cons

"In the area of improvements, within 20 days I would say that if there were a feature where I could add the transformation upfront itself, that would be great."
"I rate it an eight because it can improve on the pricing angle as well as the betterment of storage configuration."
"There are times when you are streaming and trying to connect that CData Sync fails."
"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 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."
"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."
"The ransomware protection of QoreStor could use improvement."
"Support is one point of improvement for Quest QoreStor. Support is sometimes not adequate."
"The setup of the software is definitely not the easiest thing. I worked a lot with Quest engineers, especially in the early days when we were first testing it and trying it out. I actually had some of the developers working with us at one point because they were going through these point releases, and I was having trouble getting it to work in this S3-compatible situation. We got it all working eventually, but setup is definitely not the easiest thing in the world."
"The air gap feature is something I'd really like to see in QoreStor."
"The setup of the software is definitely not the easiest thing in the world."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"Its pricing model is very attractive. You have one price, and you get everything from QoreStor."
"The cost is per terabyte, and overall, the cost was reasonable when compared to some competitors."
