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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The change in the way that Quorum processes data has made a tremendous improvement in backup and replication times. While the familiar interface remains, the underpinnings have been finely tuned and the speed is incredible. My large Exchange Server went from 5- to 6-hour backups down to 22 minutes."
"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."
"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."
"The biggest feature is being able to do a file recovery to the original server. That is extremely useful and has saved us a few times when we've had ransomware. In some of those cases, people's computers were locked down by viruses which spread to things they had access to, including server shares. But we were easily able to just restore to four hours prior, instead of a day or two or more ago."
"The most valuable feature is spinning up a ready-to-go VM in a test or production environment that is based on a backup stored on the Quorum device."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The solution is very cost effective."
"Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate."
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"Rubrik's immutability feature ensures the security of our backups by preventing unauthorized alterations. The most effective feature for simplifying our data backup processes is the ability to perform on-demand or scheduled backups and restores, which greatly enhances manageability. The security and compliance features have had a positive impact on our data management practices. We utilize Rubrik not only for virtual machine backups but also for backing up approximately twenty terabytes of unstructured data, including file shares and documents. This allows users to easily restore deleted documents using the Soft Delete feature, depending on the backup frequency."
"​Rubrik is very simple to implement and setup. ​"
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Rubrik is highly scalable and is easy to do."
"The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"The tech support is extremely helpful."
 

Cons

"Lacks compatibility in terms of supporting other OS."
"At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem."
"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."
"Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed."
"We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them."
"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."
"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."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them."
"The product’s user interface needs improvement."
"The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."
"The deployment and configuration of the backup service is something that could be streamlined a little bit, particularly when you're trying to do a SQL workload. You have to install a backup service on the server. You only have to do it once and then you're done, but you have to do that on every server that you want to protect."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"I hope to see enhancements in areas like data governance and the incorporation of new features in future updates."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"The reporting, in particular the customization of reports, needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is economical."
"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
"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 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 total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
"There are additional costs for add-ons, and they recently upgraded a new cluster, which also carries a price."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"Rubrik was probably the most expensive solution but in the long run, it's justified by the value of the data that it protects."
"The initial setup cost includes support and maintenance costs, followed by a monthly fee."
"There is just one cost, and it includes software and hardware. So, everything is included. It is better than other solutions in terms of cost. We also have Dell EMC Avamar in our environment, and we have to pay for the hardware and data domain. We also have to pay for the software license for the data protection suite. So, based on my calculations, I find Rubrik cheaper, and we are also getting good performance."
"Rubrik is not cheap. Hopefully, you can archive your data on cheap storage to keep the investment minimal."
"We are on an annual license to use Rubrik and it is priced well."
"You need to understand what you're getting for the price. You are getting a backup solution, which is state of the art and works absolutely flawlessly. You are getting the storage needed to store your backups. You have all the sexy features that a modern backup solution can provide you, like deduplication, erasure coding, compression, fast execution time, secured data, and top-notch customer support. So, it might be expensive on paper. It's not free, but when you analyze what you are getting and the time you can spend on other stuff, then Rubrik is very cost-efficient."
