Quorum OnQ Reviews

This solution provides us with business continuity. It is far more than just a DR, or backup solution. It keeps our business up and running with redundant backups of business-critical systems and files that would shut us down if lost. I would suggest this product over all others.

This is true peace of mind for all IT admins. OnQ works, simple as that. This is also the first and only company that has reached out to me because they saw issues before we did. That proactive approach is absolutely invaluable, is another reason why I suggest this product to anyone I talk to.

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 self-test feature isn't anything new, but to not have that functionality these days should be a deal-breaker for any company looking for a solution.

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

I have been using this solution for six years.

Stability is very good, with a couple of non-critical features needing resets once in a while.

This solution is easily scalable.

Amazing throughout the last six years. A lot of companies get too big too fast and can't keep up with the support calls but that has never happened.

I have used many different solutions and at the time, none of them came even close to what OnQ provided. They were ahead of the game, everyone else had to catch up after going public with this product.

The initial setup is easy and straightforward, very seamless.

The level of expertise is ten out of ten.

With regard to ROI, it is invaluable.

The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have. It pays for itself daily, even if you never have a disaster (knock on wood).

We looked at Veeam, Unitrends, Datto, and Dell.

It's hard to say where this product needs improvement, as we have not had any problems or needs other than what is already provided, and we are more than happy with the value we are getting out of OnQ.

We are a solution provider and this is one of the products that we implement for our customers. We have done several PoCs for our clients.

The most valuable feature is the ease of installation. It doesn't take long and we can set this product up to demonstrate for customers in a couple of hours. Also, any customer can easily install and configure it.

This solution is based on the Linux platform, which is more stable than Windows backup software. This also means that it is better than any other product when it comes to recovering from a ransomware attack.

I like this product because it is easy to use.

It is not as feature-rich as a product like Veeam.

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

Because this product is somewhat new on the market, the vendor needs to do more marketing to raise awareness about it.

There is a long-term retention capability but it is a separate license that is available at an additional cost.

We have been working with Quorum OnQ for one year.

In terms of stability, the feedback that we have received from our customers is good.

The majority of our customers are medium and enterprise-level organizations.

This is a good solution for medium-sized customers. It is easy to use and I am working on attracting more customers to it.

I have worked with other products including those by Veeam.

This system is easy to install and it can be completed in a few hours. It can be fully implemented within one day.

This is a product that works well, is easy to install, and easy to use. I would recommend it over other solutions.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I use the solution in my company as a backup and disaster recovery system.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that I can do multiple backups because it offers a backup snapshot functionality.

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. After that, everything was fine with the tool.

The response time of the support team is an area where improvements are required.

I have been using Quorum OnQ for over a year. I am a customer of the tool.

I haven't had a problem with the solution's stability. Quorum OnQ is a server that basically runs all the time. I look at the stats and see that the tool works.

It is a very scalable solution. Basically, Quorum OnQ has built the appliance to ensure that users get a lot of room for scalability.

I have experience with the product's support team. I got a prompt response via email from the technical team when I forgot my password details. I am impressed with the support team's service, which, even though it is very complex, the end user experience is very simple and straightforward.

I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.

Positive

I was quite impressed by the fact that everything related to the product's initial setup phase was simple and very straightforward.

For the deployment process, my company had to indulge in some preparation work, after which we got the servers set up, and it took only an hour to finish the setup process.

I received the product's documents, which I used to set up the solution. Every other process related to the deployment of the solution happened remotely.

Being a backup system, Quorum OnQ is an essential tool. The return on investment would be visible only when my company faces a disaster, for instance. The tool is generally part of our company's everyday operations.

Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product. I think it is a very cost-effective solution because it has two parts, one of which is an instant backup, and the other is sending your backup to the cloud. The tool is worth looking at as it is very cost-effective.

There are no ingress and egress charges in the product. In the organization, there are no limitations when running the appliance, especially in terms of running recovery of replacement hardware over an extended period. There are no penalty costs attached to the solution.

In my company, we haven't faced a scenario where we had to use the product for its data recovery capabilities. During the product's testing phase, our company saw that the product worked. With Quorum OnQ, If my company had to simulate the situation where we have our server down, then within minutes, we would be able to bring up the server and continue our operations.

The tool's automated testing feature is great.

The immediate recovery feature of the tool impacted our company's recovery time objectives since we used it in a situation where we had a server that went down, but we continued running it with the help of Quorum OnQ. In 30 minutes, the server was up, and we continued running it for weeks until a replacement part came in later.

No maintenance is required for the product.

I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. The ease of use that the tool provides was beyond my expectations.

I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

I use Quorum OnQ to backup all of the production servers on my network. These include all file, AD, email, and financial servers. We are using OnQ to back up full images of servers as well as simple file backups. This is our primary disaster recovery solution.

When I started at my current organization they had a scattered approach to backup. Some servers backed up locally, some to various cloud services, others not at all. Management of all those solutions was a disaster. OnQ allowed me to back everything up consistently and for less money. I get a daily digest and I know that my systems are protected.

I have used the BMR (Bare Metal Restore) in several emergencies and it has absolutely saved my bacon. I love being able to bring up a machine as a VM too. I've used that to test system upgrades and system deployments without having to worry about breaking anything in production. It is easy to wipe and repeat those tests as you need to.

I don't love the scheduler, as I think that interface could use an overhaul. I have always managed to get it to work the way I wanted it to, but it could be nicer and more user-friendly. Having to pick that a job repeats every 23:59 is a bit ridiculous in this day and age.

I have used this solution for thirteen years at two different companies.

This solution is rock solid and something I rely on every day.

For a small business, this solution has everything I need.

I have used support dozens of times in the past thirteen years and in all cases they were helpful, professional, and knowledgeable.  

I have used Backup Exec with DLT and LTO type tapes. Tape backup is just a thing of the past and Backup Exec just didn't have good offsite options at that time.

 I have used EVault and similar remote solutions, but the bandwidth was always an issue. They didn't perform good delta backups and didn't offer BMR at all.

The initial setup is very simple. They walk you right through it.

The vendor team set up and shipped the server to me, preconfigured. I then worked with an implementation specialist to get everything working on my network. I couldn't have asked for an easier process or better people to work with.

On multiple occasions, I have had to run a server in recovery mode because the physical server failed (motherboard failure, etc.). Our business was able to run normally during those times and when new hardware was in I was able to do a BMR without interrupting business.  That is fifty coworkers who were not idled because of failed hardware. That is pretty huge.

This is the best money I spend on my budget. We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value.

At this point, I haven't looked at other solutions in many years. I moved to OnQ thirteen years ago at my previous company and loved it. When I started at my new company and saw the mess their backup was in, I immediately switched to OnQ.

Setup was a breeze, and the support and training is excellent. If you are a knowledgeable user, then they will work with you at your level, but if you just need them to do it for you then they will do that too.

I use Quorum OnQ for backup and disaster recovery.

The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use.

it's too early to say what needs improvements at this stage.

The cost could be reduced.

I have experience with Quorum OnQ, and I use it as well.

I have been using Quorum OnQ for a month and a half.

I am working with the latest version.

Quorum OnQ appears to be stable but it's too early to say. So far everything is going very smoothly.

Quorum OnQ is scalable. That was something that was taken into consideration.

It's just a tool that runs in the background with no users until a problem occurs. It's a security tool, a backup system tool, so users don't deal with it until a problem arises.

So far, technical support has been very good.

The initial setup is straightforward.

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

It's an all-in-one solution, and the essential point here is that you don't have multiple solutions that you have to integrate.

What I like about it is that it is a turnkey solution that is very user-friendly, and easy to operate.

Consider the costs and effort involved in having numerous solutions and integrating them. Quorum, on the other hand, is a straightforward integrated solution that caught my attention.

It's far too early for me, but everything so far has been really positive.

I would rate Quorum OnQ an eight out of ten.

Speaker 3:

Let's go with an 8  for the moment, but I should rate it a 10, but I haven't tested it yet to the fullest. That is something that is still in progress.

The most useful feature is the integration and ease of backup and testing.

Quorum OnQ is limited and does not support all the Linux flavours, and it should be integrated. It currently only supports Red Hat-based systems. For example, Ubuntu is not supported. In addition, the price is high and could be more competitive.

We have been using this solution for almost three years.

It is a stable solution.

I am unsure about the scalability because we currently do not need to scale. We use the entry-level system, but we have challenges because a higher system and multiple machines for centralization are required if we want new hardware.

We haven't faced many issues with technical support. But, if we want to use technical support, we need an internet connection, and remote access can be provided. So it's required that the partner engineers be trained on the product, and full access is required to troubleshoot. It also requires local partner engineers. This is an issue for customers with security restrictions where internet access is impossible for the device. I rate the technical support a seven out of ten.

Neutral

The initial setup is okay and straightforward, but there are some restrictions because we don't have in-depth access to configuring or troubleshooting. As a partner, we need full access to the system. In addition, we got support from the OnQ team for the initial setup.

I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten. When we have another box implementation, we'll have a more accurate picture of how easy or complex the setup is.

Quorum OnQ works as a backup system for us. It is used for a limited number of systems, and all other systems are on cloud.

The solution has a yearly subscription, or it's a perpetual license. I rate the price a six out of ten because it is pretty high, especially regarding hardware costs.

We evaluated other options and currently use Veeam and other backup data protection products.

I rate this solution a seven out of ten. Regarding advice, the marketing of this solution should be better. Customers don't know much about the product, so the OnQ Quorum team should focus on marketing.

We are a reseller and Quorum OnQ is one of the products that we sell to our clients.

As a reseller, we use our Quorum OnQ box for demonstration purposes, and for PoC purposes. We do not yet have any sales in this region.

The primary use case is quick HA and DR.

The most useful feature is the one-click recovery. It instantly boots up the protected VM.

This product is easy to use.

The user interface needs to be improved. It is good, albeit very simple and the look needs to be improved when compared to other products on the market.

I would prefer if there were an easier way to restore databases or applications. It would be good, for example, if the Quorum agent could do things like restore databases at the table level.

We have been selling Quorum OnQ for approximately one year.

This solution is very stable. We have tested it for approximately one year, so we have only had a problem once or twice.

Scalability is something that we haven't tested. We have not tried adding another box but from what I have read so far, I think that the scalability is good.

We have not tried to contact technical support because we don't have any sales in the region. At this point, we don't know anything about them.

As resellers, we are also selling NetBackup and Commvault. One of the complaints from our customers is that the Quorum is expensive, and they question why it is on par with these other products.

The initial setup is quite straightforward.

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

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We use it as a backup solution. We are using it as a CR agent, and data reputation. What we have in the production we must have another box at theDR center too that is replicating. 

The solution is very cost-effective. 

The subscription must be affordable..

I have been working with Quorum OnQ for three years.

The solution is very stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

Previously, I used Veeam and then moved to Quorum because Veeam is only a backup solution but with Quorum I get to backup the whole virtual servers with OS. 

The initial setup is a bit complex. It gets easier once you familiarize yourself with it.

Besides the pricing, Quorum is overall a good solution. I would recommend it. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
