Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."
"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"The most useful feature is the one-click recovery."
"Having the ability to reduce recovery time, for critical resources, from multiple hours to a matter of minutes, is huge."
"This is the best money I spend on my budget."
"Quite frankly, once you've used the Quorum OnQ system, you could not consider any alternative."
"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 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."
"The most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution's technical team has enough skills, but the process can get complicated with the time you get connected with the L3 support."
"In some cases, the response times could improve, but we haven't had issues with their 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 biggest challenge we faced was attempting replication between two different kinds of storage systems, like IBM on one side and Dell EMC storage systems on the other, before opting for VPLEX."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"Their L1 support is not so good as of now. They have recently outsourced to a company, and they are not doing good."
"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."
"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."
"The price of Quorum OnQ could be improved."
"Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed."
"The price of Quorum OnQ could be improved. We were exploring the product in terms of having a partnership with the distributor so that we could operate as a service, but for our own use, within the company, we couldn't justify the price unless the servers would become an option later on. The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
"We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them."
"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."
"The price is high and could be more competitive."
"They have radio buttons that allow multiselection, which is not intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"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."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"This is an expensive product."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"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 upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
"The solution’s pricing is economical."
"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."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."
