The sync process has been quick and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer
The pCloud sync server client has worked well in the trial version. As advertised, it has a sync drive integrated into File Explorer. I can easily configure it to selectively sync any local drive in File Explorer and use it normally. The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer.
Mohamed Iqbal - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"I can access my files from all kind of devices and operating systems. I do not need any more external flash drives. I can even edit my files directly in the cloud using pCloud Drive."
"The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."
"Quorum OnQ has a good ransomware protection feature, and customer service and support were very good."
"One of the biggest features is that, even on the absolutely run-of-the-mill box, if I lose any one of my servers I can automatically bring it up virtually on the physical onQ Quorum device."
"The solution is very cost effective."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"The solution offers good documentation."
"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."
"From a disaster-recovery point of view, one of the things I really like is that I can test the virtual copy of the physical server on a test network and compare the servers side-by-side, without interfering with the production network. So I can see and make sure that the latest copy of the server is the physical copy of the server, without interfering with production."
"It provides a smooth training experience and easy terminology for those in the advocacy world."
 

Cons

"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular."
"I would really like it if they followed comparable products from other vendors and had an option where you could offload to tape. I know it sounds incredibly antiquated, but the benefit I see is that there would be a better air gap than you have with backing up to an online source."
"Lacks compatibility in terms of supporting other OS."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed."
 

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."
"The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."
"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 solution’s pricing is economical."
"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
"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."
