Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature, and its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."
"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to change IP addresses when failing a server over."
"Whether it is a single server failure, storage failure, network failure, a digital attack or a ransomware, or whether it's an application crash or a database corruption, or any kind of natural disaster or data center failure, Quorum ensures the recovery of the complete business process."
"It provides a smooth training experience and easy terminology for those in the advocacy world."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery."
"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."
"I like this product because it is easy to use."
"This is a product that works well, is easy to install, and easy to use."
"In extreme cases, we have used the ability to spin up a VM on the Quorum device for use in our production environment, which is a great feature and also very easy to do."
 

Cons

"The biggest challenge we faced was attempting replication between two different kinds of storage systems, like IBM on one side and Dell EMC storage systems on the other, before opting for VPLEX."
"In some cases, the response times could improve, but we haven't had issues with their support."
"The price of this product could be lower."
"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."
"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."
"The solution currently supports only VMware. There is increasing demand for compatibility with other hypervisors, such as Hyper V and KVM Proxmox. Additionally, licensing has become less flexible and more expensive."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"Although we can change the IP address, it would be good to have some other sort of orchestration to make life easier to manage when we failover."
"I don't love the scheduler, as I think that interface could use an overhaul."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"The price of Quorum OnQ could be improved."
"Compatibility with other platforms is the issue. Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu."
"Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"This is an expensive product."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"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."
"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is economical."
"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
