Sentiment score

Quorum OnQ ensures continuous business operations, quick data recovery, hardware cost savings, and IT time efficiency.
The biggest return on investment for me when using Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is that if we had an attack, we would be able to recover in hours instead of weeks or months, which is a lot of risk reduction.
Global Head, Storage at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
It is possible to observe ROI with Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery because the costs incurred from paying ransoms or decrypting data will be much higher than the solution price itself, providing customers with confidence in their last line of defense.

Room For Improvement

Enhancing Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery requires AI integration, bundling for SMBs, and core feature improvements for better automation and visibility.
Quorum OnQ needs better disaster recovery, cloud integration, NAS support, user interface, pricing, email notifications, and hardware support.
It would be beneficial to deploy an AI model inside the vault for more accuracy and faster restoration by scanning the data for any anomalies or unusual behavior.

My main problem is with the bare-metal recovery.
System Administrator at De Persgroep Publishing
I would like more visibility into what is going on with the individual backup images and how they are being scanned.

Setup Cost

Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is seen as cost-effective for enterprises, despite concerns over hardware costs with data growth.
Quorum OnQ's pricing is cost-effective for enterprises despite high initial costs due to integrated support and value recovery features.
I do not consider Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery to be expensive as it provides value relative to the ransom that would need to be paid to restore data and the difficulties faced after an attack.
Pre Sales Manager at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Regarding pricing, I find it a lot cheaper than Veeam.
System Administrator at De Persgroep Publishing
The pricing for Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is acceptable due to our enterprise licensing agreement, so a lot of what we do is built into the license.
Global Head, Storage at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
It's a little expensive.
Senior Application Analyst at a non-profit with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Valuable Features

Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery offers secure isolation, analytics, and fast restoration, enhancing IT infrastructure with ransomware protection and VMware integration.
Quorum OnQ offers quick recovery, user-friendly management, strong security, fast backups, and cost-effectiveness, enhancing its overall appeal.
The main function of cyber recovery, which I find important, is the air gap protection, and that is the most important capability we are using against ransomware protection.
Data Protection Architect at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The second advantage is restoration, as I can guarantee that the data inside the vault will be clean and can be restored quickly using a golden copy that has been identified as clean.
Pre Sales Manager at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
It helps my IT infrastructure be more secure mainly because we have replication of the backups on two physical sites, which is a plus.
System Administrator at De Persgroep Publishing
Quorum OnQ provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history.

System Administrator at De Persgroep Publishing
Backup and recovery have improved security with VMware integration and faster restore times
Before we start, my only question is that we are only using the Data Protection Manager, so not the full suite. The users using the backup solution mainly consist of me and my colleague. We have integrated it into VMware, so users can restore or take backups of their own VMs, but I am not sure how many are using it because the backups are automatic, and for restores, I think some of them are using them. I would certainly recommend this product for the backup of the VMs, but for the bare metal, I recommend it a little bit less. Overall, I give this solution a rating of eight.

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.
