Enhanced filtering for advocate emails
Quorum provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history. This is an extreme feature that will help our advocacy department a lot. It encompasses the ability to formulate emails and calls to action across regions. Their platform is more advanced than our previous one. It provides a smooth training experience and easy terminology for those in the advocacy world.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Even though a lot of other people like Veeam, Tivoli's restoration and infrastructure are unbeatable, making them the only ones that we rely on despite other feasible options."
"The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."
"Having Quorum gives us 100 percent uptime."
"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 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."
"This is true peace of mind for all IT admins."
"Whether it is a single server failure, storage failure, network failure, a digital attack or a ransomware, or whether it's an application crash or a database corruption, or any kind of natural disaster or data center failure, Quorum ensures the recovery of the complete business process."
"Quorum OnQ has taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery."
"The most useful feature is the one-click recovery, as it instantly boots up the protected VM and this product is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
 

Cons

"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."
"We rarely need to reach out to customer service; however, when we do, they have not been able to help us resolve a single call."
"We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them."
"I paid for subscription of Firewall. I paid for subscription of endpoint protection. Thet should introduce single subscription for all services."
"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."
"It is not as feature-rich as a product like Veeam."
"At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem."
"It feels to me like it's going to be a little bit more work than I originally anticipated when upgrading the appliance. I haven't done that yet so I can't speak from true experience, but I went through the project plan and it feels to me like there's quite a number of pieces and components and things that have to be done. Quorum is going to manage the rollout, but in starting the initial conversation there were a lot of unanswered questions"
"The price of Quorum OnQ could be improved."
"The price is high and could be more competitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive, but it's worth for it due to the volume of critical information within our database. We are currently paying about $22,000 per year."
"The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
"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."
"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."
"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
