Featured Reviews

Idayathullah  St - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides alerts regarding pending jobs, but the storage capacity is very low
The storage capacity is very low. The solution removes all the data in 15 days. We need the history for at least one or two months. I need the history whenever I run Tape. I need the details of the logs. If the details are not captured, it will impact our organization. The product doesn’t provide image backup. It is a big problem. It must be provided in future releases.
Mohamed Iqbal - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable and economical solution that provides quick disaster recovery
The most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery. We call it a single-click recovery. If any server goes down, crashes, or experiences downtime, we can bring up the DR (Disaster Recovery) server in just two minutes. We also have a "Single Pane of Glass," wherein we work with only a single window. You don't have to use multiple windows to perform basic tasks like failover or failback.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"I like this product because it is easy to use."
"Quorum OnQ has taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery."
"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'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 most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery."
"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."
 

Cons

"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"The storage capacity is very low."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."
"The price of Quorum OnQ could be improved. We were exploring the product in terms of having a partnership with the distributor so that we could operate as a service, but for our own use, within the company, we couldn't justify the price unless the servers would become an option later on. The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
"The price is high and could be more competitive."
"It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular."
"I paid for subscription of Firewall. I paid for subscription of endpoint protection. Thet should introduce single subscription for all services."
"Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu."
"They have radio buttons that allow multiselection, which is not intuitive."
"Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."
"The one thing they could do is some tweaking on the web solution that's supposed to monitor everything from one page, rather than having to bring each server up on its own webpage. It doesn't always accurately show what the system's state is at the time, and we have to restart that process now and then."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we purchased four licenses, we were given a very good price. However, it is still on the high side when compared to some other vendors."
"The price of our 12-month contract is approximately $1,500 AUD ($1,100 USD)."
"The tool is expensive."
"The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
"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 solution’s pricing is economical."
"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
"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."
"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."
