Ease of use, performance, availability, and scalability

The initial setup is very easy, user-friendly, and not complex. It mostly comes with all installed, an operating system, database, and security, all included in Power Systems. So users can easily install, configure, and use it. It's integrated with other systems. You can run different systems from IBM Power Systems, AIX Linux, or IBM I operating system. It's also integrated into Windows systems and other databases and servers.

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

"The solution works well for very large organizations. It can scale quite well."

"The initial setup is very easy and user-friendly."

"Disaster Recovery Services is stable."

"Being able to spin up a machine in a sandbox is amazing because it allows us to test things that we otherwise would not be able to do."

"A very high level security environment for secondary data."

"I have used the BMR (Bare Metal Restore) in several emergencies and it has absolutely saved my bacon."

"It is a very scalable solution."

"The solution offers good documentation."

"Quorum OnQ provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history."

"Quorum OnQ has taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery."

"One of the biggest features is that, even on the absolutely run-of-the-mill box, if I lose any one of my servers I can automatically bring it up virtually on the physical onQ Quorum device."

Cons

"Disaster Recovery Services could provide better value for money."

"The infrastructure level of IBM's recovery systems could be improved."

"Stability could always be better."

"Lacks compatibility in terms of supporting other OS."

"There seems to be a lack of technicians. Sometimes they are very busy and I don't hear back for a day or two. The technicians they have are great. They are fantastic, but it seems difficult, at times, to get in contact with anyone."

"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."

"I don't love the scheduler, as I think that interface could use an overhaul."

"I paid for subscription of Firewall. I paid for subscription of endpoint protection. Thet should introduce single subscription for all services."

"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 user interface needs to be improved."

"The price is high and could be more competitive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Disaster Recovery Services is expensive."

"The pricing of the solution is based on the scale of the project or business. It's based on the server amount and the amount of data being stored. For our client, based on the amount of data they have, it may be around $20,000 USD. It could get much more expensive on the customer side."

"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."

"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."

"The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."

"The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."

"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."

"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."
