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.

Provides fast access to files and offers a reliable backup solution without compatibility issues

Versioning control helps speed up data recovery by providing easy access to previous versions of files. This is particularly useful when moving backups to off-site storage and deploying them quickly during installations. My experience with Synology Backup's security features includes partitioning for production environments, regular scans for new threats, and support for multifactor authentication. Password security is also emphasized, meeting basic security requirements. Before choosing Synology, consider its sensitivity in your network infrastructure, especially for critical backup and storage tasks. Prioritize security, including testing and recovery procedures, and evaluate the device's performance to ensure it meets your needs effectively. Overall, I would rate Synology C2 Backup as an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"A very high level security environment for secondary data."

"Quorum OnQ provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history."

"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 solution is very cost effective."

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

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

More Quorum OnQ pros

"It's good for file services."

"I find Synology C2 Backup valuable for its speed, features, and server compatibility."

Cons

"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"

"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."

"We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them."

"It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular."

"There was a situation I faced in the past when I contacted the tool's support team, and it took them a while to respond."

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

"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."

More Quorum OnQ cons

"Improving the pricing would be great."

"The main drawbacks of Synology C2 Backup are slower processes in certain regions and less frequent updates."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

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

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

"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."
