Wesam Qashou - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers File and SQL backup but requires a support system to work
My primary use case for Quest NetVault is backup. It has a universal backup. For example, you can take a backup like any backup software because it has its own deduplication algorithm. You can work right after the restoration process It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us.…
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

"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"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."
"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."
"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 interface is very user-friendly."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"The user interface is good."
"The most useful feature is the one-click recovery."
"One of the biggest features is that, even on the absolutely run-of-the-mill box, if I lose any one of my servers I can automatically bring it up virtually on the physical onQ Quorum device."
"Quorum OnQ has a good ransomware protection feature, and customer service and support were very good."
"Quorum OnQ provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history."
"From a disaster-recovery point of view, one of the things I really like is that I can test the virtual copy of the physical server on a test network and compare the servers side-by-side, without interfering with the production network. So I can see and make sure that the latest copy of the server is the physical copy of the server, without interfering with production."
"Being able to spin up a machine in a sandbox is amazing because it allows us to test things that we otherwise would not be able to do."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
 

Cons

"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"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."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"The storage capacity is very low."
"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 product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"I would like to see iSCSI support added so that NAS storage servers could be protected. We heavily utilize NAS storage and the risk there is minimal backup options. Currently, we are backing up NAS to NAS which is costly and slow. Being able to integrate NAS server backup would be the last item on my Quorum bucket list."
"Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."
"They have radio buttons that allow multiselection, which is not intuitive. Also, the URL for our environments is the same, making it confusing for management when handling different departments with different needs."
"There was a situation I faced in the past when I contacted the tool's support team, and it took them a while to respond."
"I don't love the scheduler, as I think that interface could use an overhaul."
"Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu."
"I paid for subscription of Firewall. I paid for subscription of endpoint protection. Thet should introduce single subscription for all services."
"Lacks compatibility in terms of supporting other OS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive."
"The price of our 12-month contract is approximately $1,500 AUD ($1,100 USD)."
"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 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 solution’s pricing is economical."
"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."
"The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
"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 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."
"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
