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 and is very simple to use, making it easy for him to make copies of very important files to the public cloud because it is fully integrated with his Networker and Avamar's tools."

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

"The most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery."

"It is a stable solution."

"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."

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

"The change in the way that Quorum processes data has made a tremendous improvement in backup and replication times. While the familiar interface remains, the underpinnings have been finely tuned and the speed is incredible. My large Exchange Server went from 5- to 6-hour backups down to 22 minutes."

"This solution is very stable."

"One of the biggest features is that, even on the absolutely run-of-the-mill box, if I lose any one of my servers I can automatically bring it up virtually on the physical onQ Quorum device."

"The solution offers good documentation."

Cons

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

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

"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."

"It feels to me like it's going to be a little bit more work than I originally anticipated when upgrading the appliance. I haven't done that yet so I can't speak from true experience, but I went through the project plan and it feels to me like there's quite a number of pieces and components and things that have to be done. Quorum is going to manage the rollout, but in starting the initial conversation there were a lot of unanswered questions"

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

"The price is high and could be more competitive."

"One thing that could be done to improve it would be a single pane of glass for doing disaster recovery testing, where I could have remote consoles in one place... I still have to go to each location in a browser and then bring up the console. I'd like to see them integrate that into a single pane of glass so I don't have to go to each server."

"I would like to see iSCSI support added so that NAS storage servers could be protected. We heavily utilize NAS storage and the risk there is minimal backup options. Currently, we are backing up NAS to NAS which is costly and slow. Being able to integrate NAS server backup would be the last item on my Quorum bucket list."

"It is not as feature-rich as a product like Veeam."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

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

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

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

"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."

"The solution’s pricing is economical."

"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."

"The pricing is about $1,400 a month. It's a little bit on the higher side. But it's one of those situations where time is valuable for me. So if it costs a little bit more money for me to have a solution that just works and requires less of my day-to-day management, I'm willing to pay a little bit more."
