We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well.""The solution's support team is excellent."

"It is a very scalable solution.""Quorum OnQ has a good ransomware protection feature, and customer service and support were very good.""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.""One of the most valuable features was the usability, since many of the features were very straightforward. The backup and restoration process was also very fast. Although we weren't able to fully test the scenarios, one of the features was that we could have it restored on a remote site. However, since we were on-prem, we weren't able to test the remote site restoration.""I like this product because it is easy to use.""Quorum OnQ has taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery.""The most useful feature is the one-click recovery.""The solution offers good documentation."

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

More Dell CloudBoost Cons →

"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.""There seems to be a lack of technicians. Sometimes they are very busy and I don't hear back for a day or two. The technicians they have are great. They are fantastic, but it seems difficult, at times, to get in contact with anyone.""It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular.""I would really like it if they followed comparable products from other vendors and had an option where you could offload to tape. I know it sounds incredibly antiquated, but the benefit I see is that there would be a better air gap than you have with backing up to an online source.""The cost could be reduced.""Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu.""At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem.""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"

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."
  • More Dell CloudBoost Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
  • "When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
  • "The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
  • "The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
  • "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."
  • "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 quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
  • "The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
