A stable and economical solution that provides quick disaster recovery

The most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery. We call it a single-click recovery. If any server goes down, crashes, or experiences downtime, we can bring up the DR (Disaster Recovery) server in just two minutes. We also have a "Single Pane of Glass," wherein we work with only a single window. You don't have to use multiple windows to perform basic tasks like failover or failback.

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 for me is the policy management capabilities"

"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."

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

"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."

"The solution is very cost effective."

"Quorum OnQ has a good ransomware protection feature, and customer service and support were very good."

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

"It is a very scalable solution."

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

More Quorum OnQ pros

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."

"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."

"Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."

"They have radio buttons that allow multiselection, which is not intuitive."

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

"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"

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

"Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu."

"It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it 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 cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."

"The solution’s pricing is economical."

"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."

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