Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The technical support from Dell is excellent."
"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."
"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."
"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."
"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature, and its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"A very high level security environment for secondary data."
"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."
"Having Quorum gives us 100 percent uptime."
"This is the best money I spend on my budget."
"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 taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery."
"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 solution is very cost effective."
 

Cons

"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"In some cases, the response times could improve, but we haven't had issues with their support."
"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."
"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface."
"The solution currently supports only VMware."
"The solution's technical team has enough skills, but the process can get complicated with the time you get connected with the L3 support."
"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."
"It is not as feature-rich as a product like Veeam."
"Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed."
"It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular."
"Compatibility with other platforms is the issue. Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu."
"They need integration with other platforms."
"The cost could be reduced."
"Quorum OnQ is limited and does not support all the Linux flavours, and it currently only supports Red Hat-based systems, for example, Ubuntu is not supported."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"This is an expensive product."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."
"The solution’s pricing is economical."
"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."
"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
"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 upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."
