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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's support team is excellent."

"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."

"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."

"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."

"It is a stable solution."

"It provides a smooth training experience and easy terminology for those in the advocacy world."

"A very high level security environment for secondary data."

"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."

"Quorum OnQ provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history."

"The solution is very cost effective."

More Quorum OnQ pros

Cons

"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."

"Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."

"I paid for subscription of Firewall. I paid for subscription of endpoint protection. Thet should introduce single subscription for all services."

"The user interface needs to be improved."

"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."

"At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem."

"They have radio buttons that allow multiselection, which is not intuitive. Also, the URL for our environments is the same, making it confusing for management when handling different departments with different needs."

"It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost depends upon the amount of data that needs to be protected."

"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."

"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 total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."

"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."

"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."

"The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."

"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."

"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."

"The solution’s pricing is economical."
