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

"It's the easiest way to configure it."
"NovaBACKUP protects your entire system with a single solution."
"It is a very good and easy-to-use tool for non-technical people."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery."
"A very high level security environment for secondary data."
"The solution offers good documentation."
"I have used the BMR (Bare Metal Restore) in several emergencies and it has absolutely saved my bacon."
"Quorum OnQ provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history."
"The most useful feature is the one-click recovery, as it instantly boots up the protected VM and this product is easy to use."
"Quorum OnQ has taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery."
 

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."
"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."
"They have radio buttons that allow multiselection, which is not intuitive."
"Upgrading the software on the appliance feels to me like it's going to be a little bit more work than I originally anticipated."
"It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular."
"The price of Quorum OnQ could be improved. We were exploring the product in terms of having a partnership with the distributor so that we could operate as a service, but for our own use, within the company, we couldn't justify the price unless the servers would become an option later on. The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
"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 cost could be reduced."
"The more basic versions do not scale."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the solution's maintenance and support."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."
"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
"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 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."
"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
