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 solution is very cost effective."

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

"Quorum OnQ has taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery."

"The solution offers good documentation."

"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."

"Being able to spin up a machine in a sandbox is amazing because it allows us to test things that we otherwise would not be able to do."

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

"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."

More Quorum OnQ pros

"It's good for file services."

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

Cons

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

"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."

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

"The user interface needs to be improved."

"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."

"Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed."

"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."

"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."

More Quorum OnQ cons

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

"Improving the pricing would be great."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"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."

"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."

"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."

"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."
