Quest QoreStor's pricing is affordable. We evaluated Veeam, a well-known company for backup solutions, but found their pricing to be quite high. Veeam's price was almost double. For us, Quest QoreStor is very affordable. We pay based on the amount of storage we use, but this is something they can make easier. It is hard to calculate the amount of data you need. Especially if you are paying for three years, it is hard to know. We have calculated about a 10% increase.
The pricing is good. It is competitive for a managed services provider. I like the ability to pay by the terabyte, allowing for an incremental cost that we and our customers can afford, so the solution grows with the customer. For example, I can buy a server to install QoreStor on, but I do not have to license the entire server immediately. I can license it as I grow, and as I add more data, I can increase my Quest QoreStor license. That is very helpful for a lot of customers. It helps to sell the solution because the cost of acquisition of the solution is lower, at least at the beginning. As the customer owns the solution year over year and it grows, their costs may go up year over year, but it is manageable. It is much more manageable than a very large purchase where you have to make a large upfront cost commitment.

The price of licensing is a little bit high. We have a contract and we pay annually. The cost is per terabyte, and overall, the cost was reasonable when compared to some competitors. We planned accordingly; we knew how much data we had and we knew what our potential for growth was at the time, so we budgeted for that growth. Seeing as we've only reached 35% capacity of these devices, I can say that we definitely overbuilt for the storage and that was obviously reflected in the cost. However, I recall that on the last unit we replaced, it was priced reasonably. In fact, less than I had originally budgeted. There are costs in addition to the standard licensing fees but it is related to a third party. We pay for software licensing to utilize certain features of that software to communicate better with the QoreStor. For example, Symantec Veritas Backup Exec requires the purchase of a deduplication license, regardless of whether or not it's a Symantec deduplication product that's being used. We will be getting rid of that.

QoreStor is capacity licensed. So we have acclimated all the capacity requirements for the next three years and we never have problems with the licensing. There are no additional costs in addition to standard licensing.

The price is acceptable, it was definitely within our means. The license is a perpetual license. Ours is a 5 TB license and, as long as my data stays within that limit for disk—they actually triple the amount you can put into the cloud—that license is going to keep me going indefinitely. I will probably purchase maintenance at some point, after a year or two, to get the upgrades to the software. The initial license came with three years of maintenance so we're still within that window and haven't had to buy additional maintenance yet. We had to make sure, on the storage side of the house, that we had enough disk space to allow for that short-term storage. Because we came from tape, we hadn't needed that so much, but going to more of a disk- and cloud-based backup, we had to buy up half a dozen disk drives to help build out the storage environment. If you have a lot of data and you're going to go disk to cloud, then you have to have the disk space in your environment or in your cloud environment.

QoreStor's vendors should explain the usage and storage of the solution to customers in detail in order to maximize its usage.

Its pricing model is very attractive. You have one price, and you get everything from QoreStor.
