Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When it comes to disaster recovery, this is one of the best solutions there is for EMC products."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."
"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."
"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."
"Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots."
"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."
"A very high level security environment for secondary data."
"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 solution offers good documentation."
"I like this product because it is easy to use."
"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 most useful feature is the one-click 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."
"Quorum OnQ has a good ransomware protection feature, and customer service and support were very good."
 

Cons

"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."
"Although we can change the IP address, it would be good to have some other sort of orchestration to make life easier to manage when we failover."
"In some cases, the response times could improve, but we haven't had issues with their support."
"Their L1 support is not so good as of now. They have recently outsourced to a company, and they are not doing good."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"There seems to be a lack of technicians. Sometimes they are very busy and I don't hear back for a day or two."
"It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular."
"It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular."
"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."
"Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu."
"I would really like it if they followed comparable products from other vendors and had an option where you could offload to tape. I know it sounds incredibly antiquated, but the benefit I see is that there would be a better air gap than you have with backing up to an online source."
"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."
"We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"This is an expensive product."
"The solution’s pricing is economical."
"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
"The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
"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 total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
"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."
