Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a stable solution.""I have used the BMR (Bare Metal Restore) in several emergencies and it has absolutely saved my bacon.""It's easy to implement, easy to spin up, easily configurable, to drop-in appliances and network. There wasn't a lot of time needed to spin it up.""Quorum OnQ has a good ransomware protection feature, and customer service and support were very good.""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.""Quorum OnQ has taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery.""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."

"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option.""Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one.""It's stable and reliable.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console.""It's simple to use.""The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine.""The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly.""What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."

Cons
"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.""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.""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""The cost could be reduced.""Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed.""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.""Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."

"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced.""It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network.""The integration needs improvement.""There is a compatibility issue with HCI.""It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though.""They could be more customer-friendly.""I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server.""In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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 cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
  • "The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
  • "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 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."
  • "The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
  • More Quorum OnQ Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."
  • "It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."
  • "The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
  • "The costing is very competitive."
  • "Licensing costs are monthly."
  • "Price-wise it's good."
  • "We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."
  • "There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."
