The solution provides the ability to backup all types of cloud drives, is inexpensive, and has decent support
MSP360 Backup provides the backup functionality, but we need to provide the storage component. We can use Azure, AWS, or another provider, but we need to choose the storage provider and create a bucket to store our data. The vendor is making changes to improve the functionality of the service and the separation of storage, but I would like to see more integration and a knowledge base of the tool. Currently trying to understand why the storage is separated and how to implement the storage properly is a challenge. Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service. Unlike other solutions such as Kohl which includes everything at one price. MSP360 Backup can be improved by adding inclusive pricing.

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

"Supports peer-to-peer backup using Minio, which has allowed us to easily pre-seed and maintain an off-site backup within driving distance, making tactical recovery of accidental file deletions easy."
"I was mainly concerned with cloud backups, OneDrive backups, consumer OneDrive, business OneDrive, Google backups, and SharePoint backups. The solution did a good job of the backup."
"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."
"One massive advantage of this solution, as compared to more enterprise products, is that no firewall changes are needed on the client's premises. For the product to back up from the client's premise to the cloud, it just needs port 8 and port 443, which are anyway always open. This was one of the things that made us decide to go with the product. It is very difficult to justify a firewall change for a small client who doesn't even know what a firewall is and how to maintain a firewall, or doesn't have anybody maintaining their firewall. You then have to maintain the firewall. MSP360 Backup takes away firewall change requirements, VPNs, or channels that are needed for the backup."
"Provides connectivity to a lot of different cloud storage solutions."
"The most valuable feature for me is that I can see what has been successfully backed up and what has not, which is very valuable because you don't have to check the machines, and the second feature is that you can change backup settings in the portal."
"The solution is simple to use and easy to configure."
"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."
"Quite frankly, once you've used the Quorum OnQ system, you could not consider any alternative."
"Quorum OnQ has taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery."
"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 have used the BMR (Bare Metal Restore) in several emergencies and it has absolutely saved my bacon."
"This is true peace of mind for all IT admins."
"The most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery."
"Mostly, onQ gives us confidence, knowing that we're really covered if we really have to bring the systems up."
"I like this product because it is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on."
"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."
"The solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"The Linux GUI leaves a lot to be desired. It lacks many of the features of the Windows version and is buggy, but it is still usable."
"The product could be more user-friendly."
"If I have an incident and I need to restore something very fast, I want to restore a particular virtual machine, maybe in an hour and that is not possible to do with MSP360."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"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."
"Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu."
"The price is high and could be more competitive."
"We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them."
"Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."
"Upgrading the software on the appliance feels to me like it's going to be a little bit more work than I originally anticipated."
"Lacks compatibility in terms of supporting other OS."
"I don't love the scheduler, as I think that interface could use an overhaul."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
"It includes a standard licensing fee. Once a year, there is a rebranding fee. The licensing costs are available on the internet for MSP360 Backup. There is a discount structure where if you have over 50 devices, you get a 50% discount. So, my cost is $2 a license per month."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"The solution is expensive."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"The solution’s pricing is economical."
"The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
"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."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."
"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."
"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."
"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
