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.

Offers simplified management and automated recovery process, which reduces the need for manual intervention during a disaster

Automated recovery is one good feature, SRM also offers simplified management. It has a centralized interface for configuring, testing, and executing disaster recovery plans across multiple sites. This means management from a single point, even for many sites. Recovery plans can be different for customers. So, another important feature is the policy-based protection within SRM. Recovery plans can be customized based on business requirements, including Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO). These objectives might differ between industries – healthcare might need a more aggressive RPO, for instance. Additionally, SRM offers failback capabilities and reporting features for compliance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

"It is a very scalable solution."

"The solution is very cost effective."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

More Quorum OnQ pros

"VMware is one of the best products in the industry when it comes to virtualization."

"The replication is the solution's most valuable feature. If we have some issues on the VM in the main site we can migrate it to another site automatically."

"Virtual Machine Recovery during DR situation, with automation and easy to use menus and options."

"The stability of SRM has been excellent. It gets a nine-out-of-ten."

"The solution is very flexible."

"It is easy to implement for my clients."

"I would rate the ease of setting up and configuring my recovery plan in VMware SRM, a ten out of ten, with ten being the easiest."

"Its capability to schedule, write and configure the recovery and scheduled steps, such that you don't have to come in and start manually trying to recover the entire machine. You just push a button to recover the VMware and everything is done."

More VMware Live Recovery pros

Cons

"I paid for subscription of Firewall. I paid for subscription of endpoint protection. Thet should introduce single subscription for all services."

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

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

"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."

"Lacks compatibility in terms of supporting other OS."

"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."

"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"

"At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem."

More Quorum OnQ cons

"VMware SRM lacks certain functions that other platforms have, such as better prioritization of allocation of resources and Boot profiles."

"For cloud-based solutions, the cost seems quite pricey, so we stick to on-premises deployment."

"It would be ideal if they added advanced analytics or AI to the solution."

"There needs to be better stability during heavy capacity in future releases."

"The licenses need to be easier to quote."

"Technical support can take some time to respond."

"VMware SRM's platform agnostics should support on-cloud usage as well."

"One thing which is lacking from the SRM is reporting."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it 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 cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."

"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 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."

"The solution’s pricing is economical."

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

More Quorum OnQ pricing and cost advice

"VMware SRM is quite expensive."

"Licensing costs explode after 75 VMs."

"VMware sells in bundles of 50 VMs, so if we want to expand, we have to buy the whole bundle."

"The cost of SRM is on par with market rates."

"It is an expensive platform. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."

"The licensing costs are increasing."

"The price of VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery should be lowered in order to compete better in the market."

"Compare to hardware-based replication, I think software based replication is best and cheap."
