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

"The most valuable feature is the ability to change IP addresses when failing a server over."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"It is a very simple tool to use and offers flexibility in using the tool for recovery and transitioning from one state to another."
"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."
"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."
"The generalization of the journals allows us to go back in time and choose the snapshot suitable for us. We can grab it as needed."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"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."
"This is the best money I spend on my budget."
"The ease of recovering from data loss is huge, as well as the peace of mind, knowing that if something does happen, I can have a replacement running in a matter of minutes."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The most useful feature is the one-click recovery."
"Quorum OnQ has a good ransomware protection feature, and customer service and support were very good."
"I like this product because it is easy to use."
"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."
 

Cons

"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."
"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."
"Their L1 support is not so good as of now. They have recently outsourced to a company, and they are not doing good."
"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."
"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."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"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."
"The solution currently supports only VMware."
"We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them."
"Compatibility with other platforms is the issue. Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu."
"The solution could do more by improving compatibility in terms of supporting other OS."
"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."
"I don't love the scheduler, as I think that interface could use an overhaul."
"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."
"It is not as feature-rich as a product like Veeam."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive product."
"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."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"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."
"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."
"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."
"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 first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
"The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
"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."
