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.

In terms of scalability with Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery, it revolves around the same concept as Data Domain where you can scale up or scale out.

Room For Improvement

Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery needs AI integration, simplified processes, compatibility enhancements, and better UI for improved user experience.
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.
Pre Sales Manager at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
I would like more visibility into what is going on with the individual backup images and how they are being scanned.
Global Head, Storage at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
My main problem is with the bare-metal recovery.
System Administrator at De Persgroep Publishing

Setup Cost

Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery pricing is praised for competitiveness and clarity, with room for improved bundling and hardware pricing.
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
When you are hit by a ransomware attack, even the backup itself and the storage itself will be encrypted completely by the ransomware.

Regarding pricing, I find it a lot cheaper than Veeam.
System Administrator at De Persgroep Publishing
It's a little expensive.

Valuable Features

Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery offers advanced analytics, isolation, and security features, enhancing data recovery and cybersecurity strategies.
Quorum OnQ offers quick recovery, user-friendly management, strong security, fast backups, and cost-effectiveness, enhancing its overall appeal.
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
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
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.

Featured Reviews

XiongXiong - PeerSpot reviewer
Director, Information Technology at Ascend Performance Materials
Modern data protection has ensured resilient backups and reliable recovery from cyber incidents
The biggest improvement that we would like to see for Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is how it can be part of the storage side of the world versus being a standalone solution. Currently, being a standalone product is neat, but it means we cannot integrate it with our overall storage strategy. I would prefer to purchase Dell storage and use that storage across both my day-to-day storage and the storage for Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery. In my current configuration, I have separate hardware for the backup and recovery and the cyber resilience, and I have different hardware for just storage. Integrating these two would be quite interesting. From my perspective, the integration between products is not really an obstacle. What matters more is how we as customers can simplify our technology hardware stack on site. From a software perspective, it would be beneficial if they created a solution where I could see my compute, storage, and backup recovery as a single pane of glass. A one-stop shop with one dashboard would be great. This opportunity exists for improvement. From a hardware perspective, simplifying it so I have less hardware on site would be valuable. I want to reduce my footprint with Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery. Reducing footprint is something all manufacturing organizations desire. When you look at all the manufacturing sites around the world, we always have to build a room for IT usage and data center rooms at our facilities. The smaller your footprint, the less cooling and less energy usage you need, which is a win-win scenario. This is what all of us as customers are looking for, which is smaller footprints.

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.
