Affordable, highly scalable, and outstanding support

For moving the data for DR, we are using Megaport. We are using a Megaport link between the data centers, so we have a third party for the site-to-site connectivity between the data centers. If such connectivity is available from the Nutanix side, it would be helpful for us. Currently, Nutanix is providing the remote snapshot, and on the data center side, there is one cluster, and on the DR side, there is another cluster. We have synchronized both clusters with the same environment. For connectivity, we are using a Megaport link, and we have to pay a third party for that. If Nutanix can provide such connectivity, it will be helpful.

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

"It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites."

"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."

"It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding."

"The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use."

"We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution."

"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 most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery."

"The change in the way that Quorum processes data has made a tremendous improvement in backup and replication times. While the familiar interface remains, the underpinnings have been finely tuned and the speed is incredible. My large Exchange Server went from 5- to 6-hour backups down to 22 minutes."

"I like this product because it is easy to use."

"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 most useful feature is the one-click recovery."

"It provides a smooth training experience and easy terminology for those in the advocacy world."

"It is a stable solution."

Cons

"The solution needs improvement in cost."

"The pricing could be better."

"For moving the data for DR, we are using Megaport. We are using a Megaport link between the data centers, so we have a third party for the site-to-site connectivity between the data centers. If such connectivity is available from the Nutanix side, it would be helpful for us."

"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better."

"They need better reporting on the environment."

"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."

"Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed."

"They need integration with other platforms."

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

"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."

"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."

"The user interface needs to be improved."

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Besides the license, there are additional costs with the network connection. The customer may want a direct connection between the two data centers and that has an extra cost."

"It is a little bit cheaper than the other products in the market. It is affordable."

"I always want it to be cheaper."

"One-time costs may initially seem high, but they reflect the quality of the service received."

"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."

"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."

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

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

"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 cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."

"The solution’s pricing is economical."

"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
