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

"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 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."

"One of the most valuable features was the usability, since many of the features were very straightforward. The backup and restoration process was also very fast. Although we weren't able to fully test the scenarios, one of the features was that we could have it restored on a remote site. However, since we were on-prem, we weren't able to test the remote site restoration."

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

"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."

"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 taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster 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

"Lacks compatibility in terms of supporting other OS."

"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"

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

"At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem."

"Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu."

"They need integration with other platforms."

"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."

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

"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."

"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."

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

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

"The solution’s pricing is economical."

"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."

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