Backup storage has shrunk dramatically with deduplication but still needs stronger security options
The air gap feature is something I'd really like to see in QoreStor. There's no native air gap capability right now, and for security-conscious environments, that's a gap. The configuration export is also limited in QoreStor. If you want to document your setup or migrate configuration to a new instance, it requires more manual work than it should.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The reliable backup and restoring of the Salesforce data is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
"QoreStor has helped to reduce our backup storage requirements on-premise by at least 90%."
"Quest QoreStor is very stable compared to our previous solution."
"We need revisions and safe backup so that it could be held up in court, but deduplication and compression are the main features why we have Quest QoreStor. That's where it really shines. I use ZFS and XFS at home, and Quest QoreStor is even better."
"The features we use for the data deduplication are nice because we're able to back up a much larger amount of data, yet it doesn't necessarily take up that much data on the devices."
"If storage costs are a problem, whether on-premises or cloud, QoreStor is worth a serious look."
"Quest QoreStor definitely saved us money."
"It integrates with various backup software solutions, which makes it compatible with existing backup workflows and processes."
"Since we started to resell QoreStor, we have been using it internally; it's better than other backup solutions we have used or evaluated."
 

Cons

"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"Support is one point of improvement for Quest QoreStor. Support is sometimes not adequate."
"In terms of improvement, we would like to have an Air Gap feature to prevent a virus from attaching to something. So that when we don't do a backup, we want the QoreStor to stay offline. It would be a nice feature to have."
"The setup of the software is definitely not the easiest thing in the world."
"They need to increase their maximum capacity. Other than that, they're doing a pretty good job."
"There can be some kind of monitoring solutions to alert users to issues with the appliance or software, making it easy for customers to monitor their systems in the field."
"They could improve on support a little bit. We have not had to engage their support much, but when we do have issues, it can take longer to get things resolved."
"Overall, I am happy with this solution, but a way to export configuration settings would be beneficial."
"The ransomware protection of QoreStor could use improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Its pricing model is very attractive. You have one price, and you get everything from QoreStor."
"The cost is per terabyte, and overall, the cost was reasonable when compared to some competitors."
"The pricing is good. It is competitive for a managed services provider. I like the ability to pay by the terabyte, allowing for an incremental cost that we and our customers can afford, so the solution grows with the customer."
"Quest QoreStor's pricing is affordable. We evaluated Veeam, a well-known company for backup solutions, but found their pricing to be quite high. Veeam's price was almost double. For us, Quest QoreStor is very affordable."
