Cyber Security Team/Governance, Risk, Compliance at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Has enabled seamless disaster recovery with virtual rollovers and rapid failovers between systems
Improving Precisely Assure MIMIX is going to be a really hard one; over the years, the tech support started off kind of rough but gradually got better and better as I used it often, being on a first-name basis with many of the customer service reps because of having to call with issues that they were always able to resolve fairly quickly. I would have liked to see more reporting, maybe automation of reports, but as far as integration with other systems, I always used Precisely Assure MIMIX on an AS/400, iSeries, IBM iSeries machine, and I cannot speak to using it on any other device.

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 product's initial setup phase was straightforward and simple."
"Database replication is most valuable. It is multi-platform, so it can replicate from a variety of different database types to a variety of different database types."
"Database replication is most valuable; it is multi-platform, so it can replicate from a variety of different database types to a variety of different database types, and it is a relatively stable database replication product."
"Precisely Assure MIMIX has positively affected our organization by reducing downtime because it takes 30 minutes from swapping from one box to another; production is back up and running within 30 minutes, and a lot of times, I could get it down to 20 minutes."
"Quorum OnQ has a good ransomware protection feature, and customer service and support were very good."
"A very high level security environment for secondary data."
"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."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Having Quorum gives us 100 percent uptime."
"I have used the BMR (Bare Metal Restore) in several emergencies and it has absolutely saved my bacon."
"When it comes to recovering what you need from a backup, it's really easy. You just drill through the directory, find the file and the date that you want, and click to recover. You then pick the directory you want to save it in. Usually, it takes a minute or two and it's done. It's quick and easy."
 

Cons

"The pricing was a little steep; I believe it could have been lower, but for what I received as far as the service, the price is pretty close."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It does data manipulation language (DML) replication, but it does not do data definition language (DDL) replication. In my opinion, it is a disadvantage. It would be nicer if it was able to do both DML and DDL. I'm not 100% certain of this, but it seems Oracle Golden Gate does both DML and DDL. MIMIX only does DML, and it would be very nice if they included DDL replication. This is one feature that would be very helpful to have."
"There is certainly a strong lobby in the company that feels that by having so many copies of the same set of data throughout the organization, we are going in the wrong direction."
"The more basic versions do not scale."
"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."
"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 need integration with other platforms."
"Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."
"There seems to be a lack of technicians. Sometimes they are very busy and I don't hear back for a day or two. The technicians they have are great. They are fantastic, but it seems difficult, at times, to get in contact with anyone."
"I don't love the scheduler, as I think that interface could use an overhaul."
"At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing provides the access to support. I do know that there's an annual charge for being able to call into their support line and get a technical team from Precisely to assist with any issues we may have. I don't think there are any additional costs other than what we incur internally in terms of the infrastructure that we need to run and operate the product."
"The cost of the product is too high."
"The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
"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."
"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."
"The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
