Enhanced filtering for advocate emails
Quorum provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history. This is an extreme feature that will help our advocacy department a lot. It encompasses the ability to formulate emails and calls to action across regions. Their platform is more advanced than our previous one. It provides a smooth training experience and easy terminology for those in the advocacy world.

An easy to maintains solution useful to manage daily backup and the restoration of backup files
I don't see any scope for improvement in the product since it is a well-established solution. My company has not faced any production-related issues with Veritas System Recovery, as it has stayed quite stable in our environment. The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required. The documentation and reporting areas also need to be improved.

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 ease of recovering from data loss is huge, as well as the peace of mind, knowing that if something does happen, I can have a replacement running in a matter of minutes."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"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."
"I have used the BMR (Bare Metal Restore) in several emergencies and it has absolutely saved my bacon."
"The most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery."
"This solution is very stable."
"The installation was straightforward."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"It has a user-friendly interface and configures and integrates nicely with other products."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"The best thing about this product is that it's a unified solution and doesn't require the installation of any other solution, whether it's in a virtual environment, or on-prem."
"You can back up the whole image, not just files and folders, but the image from the server, and you can restore the whole image."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"Compatibility with other platforms is the issue. Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu."
"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"
"At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem."
"This solution needs an easier interface that is more comprehensible. Also, sometimes we have issues with restoring images when we initialize the servers."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"For most organizations these days, their main concern is to protect their database and I think Veritas could make some improvements in that regard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."
"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."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing is economical."
"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
