Easy to work and offers features for tape backups, disk backups, and whatever you want
NovaStor NovaBACKUP is still working on new features because they listen to the customers and integrate their needs into new versions. You can see they make progress with each new version. They are much faster than IBM, where you sometimes have to wait years for new features. It is very quick and fast. NovaStor have big competitors like Veeam, which is very fast and aggressive. It's good, but it depends on the price. I think NovaStor might be cheaper. They have a direct connection to their developers and sales teams, which makes getting answers very fast. Veeam has a lot of features, like a special reporting tool. However, I've heard from some customers that Veeam wasn't always the right decision because it couldn't work with their environment. But Veeam has aggressive marketing, which is why they are probably in first place at the moment, besides Commvault. IBM has lost its competitive edge and is trying to catch up, but it might be too late.

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

"NovaBACKUP protects your entire system with a single solution."
"It's the easiest way to configure it."
"It is a very good and easy-to-use tool for non-technical people."
"The most valuable feature is spinning up a ready-to-go VM in a test or production environment that is based on a backup stored on the Quorum device."
"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."
"I have used the BMR (Bare Metal Restore) in several emergencies and it has absolutely saved my bacon."
"This is the best money I spend on my budget."
"This solution is very stable."
"Quorum OnQ has a good ransomware protection feature, and customer service and support were very good."
"Having Quorum gives us 100 percent uptime."
"Mostly, onQ gives us confidence, knowing that we're really covered if we really have to bring the systems up."
 

Cons

"The price of NovaStor NovaBACKUP is an area that can be considered as a weakness or drawback, where improvements are required."
"The room for improvement lies in the compatibility of NovaBACKUP with older operating systems."
"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."
"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."
"One of the complaints from our customers is that the Quorum is expensive, and they question why it is on par with these other products."
"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."
"Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed."
"The more basic versions do not scale."
"It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the solution's maintenance and support."
"The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
"The solution’s pricing is economical."
"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
"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 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."
