Allows you to test and schedule recovery tasks for multiple sites
The main weakness of Carbonite Recover is the fallback process, which can be time-consuming. However, the failover process works well when done properly. Similar to other software programs, there was a technical issue involving duplicates and small glitches. Over time, Carbonite recovery has improved. When I started working with Cyber, we had to double-check everything, and although it was challenging, the downtime wasn't extensive—one incident in a year, for example. Restoring data with Carbonite Recover can take time, mainly because the backup process occurs in real time. The main concern is the duration needed to restore data to the primary environment, which can be lengthy. However, once the failover is complete, there are no further issues.

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

"We confirm the server failure before initiating recovery. Once started, this process takes half an hour to an hour, though it can be as fast as 15 minutes. After bringing up the server, we test connectivity to ensure everything is operational."
"The most useful feature is the one-click recovery, as it instantly boots up the protected VM and this product is easy to use."
"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 has a good ransomware protection feature, and customer service and support were very good."
"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."
"This is a product that works well, is easy to install, and easy to use."
"Mostly, onQ gives us confidence, knowing that we're really covered if we really have to bring the systems up."
"The solution offers good documentation."
"In extreme cases, we have used the ability to spin up a VM on the Quorum device for use in our production environment, which is a great feature and also very easy to do."
 

Cons

"The main weakness of Carbonite Recover is the fallback process, which can be time-consuming. However, the failover process works well when done properly. Similar to other software programs, there was a technical issue involving duplicates and small glitches."
"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's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular."
"There seems to be a lack of technicians. Sometimes they are very busy and I don't hear back for a day or two."
"They have radio buttons that allow multiselection, which is not intuitive. Also, the URL for our environments is the same, making it confusing for management when handling different departments with different needs."
"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"
"The cost could be reduced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."
"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
"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."
"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
"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 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."
