Featured Reviews

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.
Wesam Qashou - PeerSpot reviewer
A mature backup solution, with many features, and great support
Veritas NetBackup is the first line of defense when disaster strikes. Before performing disaster recovery, we must have a good backup of our image that is also protected from ransomware. This way, we have a golden image that is resilient to ransomware attacks. We saw the benefits of Veritas NetBackup within the first three months.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery."
"The solution offers good documentation."
"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."
"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 taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery."
"I like this product because it is easy to use."
"The backup and restore features work very well."
"The reliability is valuable, especially for the appliance solution."
"What I like most is it is a professional product. It supports all kinds of technologies, and I consider it one of the best backup products available."
"NetBackup is highly stable. We have more than 1,800 policies that run every day."
"Could be used for both of Physical and Virtual Environments."
"It's durable — we achieve what we expect from it."
"The features are good."
"Veritas NetBackup is very stable and scales out very well."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular."
"Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed."
"Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu."
"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."
"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."
"They have radio buttons that allow multiselection, which is not intuitive."
"They need integration with other platforms."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of a Sandbox feature like Veeam Sandbox."
"The biggest additional features needed are more cloud capabilities and security from ransomware."
"The solution's technical support process should be improved."
"This solution would benefit from a more friendly, web-based interface."
"Veritas NetBackup is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
"The web interface is not modern."
"When the customer is using SaaS applications like Office 365, the integration falls short and needs to be improved."
"I have been involved in upgrades. They have not been straightforward. Some of them have required us to make changes to our architecture and production environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."
"The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."
"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 solution’s pricing is economical."
"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
"The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
"So far I can only say that the license structure could be looked at to be aligned as either capacity-based or traditional."
"When you compare NetBackup's software licensing system with Veeam's, which is simpler and based on instances (or how many physical machines or virtual machines you want to protect), NetBackup isn't that competitive for smaller scale companies. However, if you're running many large workloads, then NetBackup may be the better option."
"It is reasonably priced."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"Acceptable if you need to implement it for larger environments, e.g. over 1000 clients. For smaller setups it might be too expensive."
"NetBackup is expensive. They need to work on the pricing side. I find it comparatively on the higher side when I compare the terabyte backup costs."
"The software and license are very expensive."
"When we consider the quality and value of Veritas NetBackup, it is worth the cost."
