Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."
"Overall the product is really good."
"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 product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"One person can do the whole implementation, monitoring, and maintenance of the solution."
"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."
"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."
"I sleep better knowing that Quorum is there."
"The most useful feature is the one-click recovery."
"This solution is very stable."
"The most useful feature is the one-click recovery, as it instantly boots up the protected VM and this product is easy to use."
"This is a product that works well, is easy to install, and easy to use."
"The solution is very cost effective."
"Mostly, onQ gives us confidence, knowing that we're really covered if we really have to bring the systems up."
 

Cons

"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."
"The price of this product could be lower."
"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."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"The solution currently supports only VMware. There is increasing demand for compatibility with other hypervisors, such as Hyper V and KVM Proxmox. Additionally, licensing has become less flexible and more expensive."
"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."
"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."
"There is a problem with the solution's architecture. First of all, it requires double the resources on the virtual environment to set up one environment."
"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."
"The price is high and could be more competitive."
"I would like to see iSCSI support added so that NAS storage servers could be protected."
"One thing that could be done to improve it would be a single pane of glass for doing disaster recovery testing, where I could have remote consoles in one place... I still have to go to each location in a browser and then bring up the console. I'd like to see them integrate that into a single pane of glass so I don't have to go to each server."
"They have radio buttons that allow multiselection, which is not intuitive."
"They need integration with other platforms."
"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."
"I would like to see iSCSI support added so that NAS storage servers could be protected. We heavily utilize NAS storage and the risk there is minimal backup options. Currently, we are backing up NAS to NAS which is costly and slow. Being able to integrate NAS server backup would be the last item on my Quorum bucket list."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"This is an expensive product."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"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."
"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
"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."
"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."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."
"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."
