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

"The flexible ways you can get to the data and the options that it gives you for backing up your valuable data are what make its offsite storage so valuable."

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"

"The solution is very cost effective."

"The solution offers good documentation."

"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."

"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 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."

"It is a stable solution."

"It is a very scalable solution."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."

Cons

"Basically, the only thing I do not like about it, it was keyed off Lotus Notes."

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."

"Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."

"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"

"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."

"We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them."

"Lacks compatibility in terms of supporting other OS."

"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."

"They have radio buttons that allow multiselection, which is not intuitive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."

"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."

"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."

"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."

"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."

"The solution’s pricing is economical."

"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
