Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."
"I use RecoverPoint for VM for my production-critical system because it gives you general electives for the journals and the point-in-time recovery."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"The generalization of the journals allows us to go back in time and choose the snapshot suitable for us. We can grab it as needed."
"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."
"It is a stable solution."
"It provides a smooth training experience and easy terminology for those in the advocacy world."
"This is the best money I spend on my budget."
"In extreme cases, we have used the ability to spin up a VM on the Quorum device for use in our production environment, which is a great feature and also very easy to do."
"The change in the way that Quorum processes data has made a tremendous improvement in backup and replication times. While the familiar interface remains, the underpinnings have been finely tuned and the speed is incredible. My large Exchange Server went from 5- to 6-hour backups down to 22 minutes."
"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."
"When it comes to recovering what you need from a backup, it's really easy. You just drill through the directory, find the file and the date that you want, and click to recover. You then pick the directory you want to save it in. Usually, it takes a minute or two and it's done. It's quick and easy."
"I have used the BMR (Bare Metal Restore) in several emergencies and it has absolutely saved my bacon."
 

Cons

"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."
"This product is not as easy to use as some other solutions."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."
"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."
"Their L1 support is not so good as of now. They have recently outsourced to a company, and they are not doing good."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."
"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."
"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."
"They need integration with other platforms."
"I paid for subscription of Firewall. I paid for subscription of endpoint protection. Thet should introduce single subscription for all services."
"I would like to see iSCSI support added so that NAS storage servers could be protected."
"The one thing they could do is some tweaking on the web solution that's supposed to monitor everything from one page, rather than having to bring each server up on its own webpage. It doesn't always accurately show what the system's state is at the time, and we have to restart that process now and then."
"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."
"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."
"Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."
 

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."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"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."
"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 cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."
"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is economical."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."
"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."
"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."
