Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service vs Quorum OnQ comparison

"One-Click Disaster Recovery improves the overall business processes within an organization, I am very satisfied with its performance, and our customers are equally satisfied."

"One-Click Disaster Recovery improves the overall business processes within an organization, I am very satisfied with its performance, and our customers are equally satisfied."

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

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

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."

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

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

"It is a very scalable solution."

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

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

"When it comes to recovering what you need from a backup, it's really easy. You just drill through the directory, find the file and the date that you want, and click to recover. You then pick the directory you want to save it in. Usually, it takes a minute or two and it's done. It's quick and easy."

"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."

"It's easy to implement, easy to spin up, easily configurable, to drop-in appliances and network. There wasn't a lot of time needed to spin it up."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."

"The solution needs improvement in cost."

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

"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."

"It needs to work more to comply with all available certificates for compliance, including healthcare, financial sector, and Aramco-specific requirements."

"They need better reporting on the environment."

"It needs to work more to comply with all available certificates for compliance, including healthcare, financial sector, and Aramco-specific requirements."

"The pricing could be better."

"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 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."

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

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

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

"One thing that could be done to improve it would be a single pane of glass for doing disaster recovery testing, where I could have remote consoles in one place... I still have to go to each location in a browser and then bring up the console. I'd like to see them integrate that into a single pane of glass so I don't have to go to each server."

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

"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"

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

"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."

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

"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 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."

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

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

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

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