Ransomware recovery has become validated and protects critical workloads across multiple accounts
The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy. Consolidating those or offering a slimmer permission set for read-only backup (versus full restore) would help with security review friction. Cross-account restore into a target account still requires manual steps for KMS. If Clumio could handle re-encrypting with the target account's CMK during restore rather than requiring Multi-Region Key pre-staging, that would save significant preparation time. Also, the restore API could surface better progress telemetry since right now, large RDS restores are a bit of a black box until they complete or fail. Finally, DocumentDB and MongoDB Atlas backup support would round out our stack nicely.

Enhanced filtering for advocate emails
Quorum provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history. This is an extreme feature that will help our advocacy department a lot. It encompasses the ability to formulate emails and calls to action across regions. Their platform is more advanced than our previous one. It provides a smooth training experience and easy terminology for those in the advocacy world.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Clumio gave us a genuinely isolated vault that sits outside our AWS Organization's blast radius."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"Clumio proved to be the most cost-effective option."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"It provides a smooth training experience and easy terminology for those in the advocacy world."
"Having Quorum gives us 100 percent uptime."
"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."
"The ease of recovering from data loss is huge, as well as the peace of mind, knowing that if something does happen, I can have a replacement running in a matter of minutes."
"A very high level security environment for secondary data."
"This is true peace of mind for all IT admins."
"Quorum OnQ has taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery."
"This is a product that works well, is easy to install, and easy to use."
 

Cons

"The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."
"It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular."
"We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them."
"One of the complaints from our customers is that the Quorum is expensive, and they question why it is on par with these other products."
"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."
"Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed."
"There was a situation I faced in the past when I contacted the tool's support team, and it took them a while to respond."
"Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."
"It is not as feature-rich as a product like Veeam."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."
"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
"The solution’s pricing is economical."
"The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."
"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
"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."
"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
