Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service vs Quorum OnQ comparison

"The solution is stable."

"It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites."

"We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution."

"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."

"The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use."

"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."

"It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding."

"I like this product because it is easy to use."

"The most useful feature is the one-click recovery."

"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."

"It does automated tests to the systems to make sure that you could spin them up if you needed to. And if something doesn't come back up in those tests, we get a notification saying the system didn't come back up."

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

"A very high level security environment for secondary data."

"The most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery."

"Quorum OnQ provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history."

"The pricing could be better."

"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better."

"For moving the data for DR, we are using Megaport. We are using a Megaport link between the data centers, so we have a third party for the site-to-site connectivity between the data centers. If such connectivity is available from the Nutanix side, it would be helpful for us."

"They need better reporting on the environment."

"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."

"The solution needs improvement in cost."

"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 user interface needs to be improved."

"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."

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

"Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed."

"I don't love the scheduler, as I think that interface could use an overhaul."

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

"It is a little bit cheaper than the other products in the market. It is affordable."

"I always want it to be cheaper."

"Besides the license, there are additional costs with the network connection. The customer may want a direct connection between the two data centers and that has an extra cost."

"One-time costs may initially seem high, but they reflect the quality of the service received."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."

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

"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."
