It offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots. It allows for automated VM protection during processes like failover and testing, and it offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When it comes to disaster recovery, this is one of the best solutions there is for EMC products."
"The technical support from Dell is excellent."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
"One person can do the whole implementation, monitoring, and maintenance of the solution."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"It is a very simple tool to use and offers flexibility in using the tool for recovery and transitioning from one state to another."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"The biggest feature is being able to do a file recovery to the original server. That is extremely useful and has saved us a few times when we've had ransomware. In some of those cases, people's computers were locked down by viruses which spread to things they had access to, including server shares. But we were easily able to just restore to four hours prior, instead of a day or two or more ago."
"It is a stable solution."
"A very high level security environment for secondary data."
"I sleep better knowing that Quorum is there."
"It does automated tests to the systems to make sure that you could spin them up if you needed to. And if something doesn't come back up in those tests, we get a notification saying the system didn't come back 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."
"Having the ability to reduce recovery time, for critical resources, from multiple hours to a matter of minutes, is huge."
"This solution is very stable."
 

Cons

"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."
"Their L1 support is not so good as of now. They have recently outsourced to a company, and they are not doing good."
"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."
"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"The price of this product could be lower."
"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."
"In some cases, the response times could improve, but we haven't had issues with their support."
"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."
"Upgrading the software on the appliance feels to me like it's going to be a little bit more work than I originally anticipated."
"Quorum OnQ is limited and does not support all the Linux flavours, and it currently only supports Red Hat-based systems, for example, Ubuntu is not supported."
"They need integration with other platforms."
"Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."
"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"
"They have radio buttons that allow multiselection, which is not intuitive."
"It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"This is an expensive product."
"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"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."
"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
"The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."
"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
