Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product. I think it is a very cost-effective solution because it has two parts, one of which is an instant backup, and the other is sending your backup to the cloud. The tool is worth looking at as it is very cost-effective. There are no ingress and egress charges in the product. In the organization, there are no limitations when running the appliance, especially in terms of running recovery of replacement hardware over an extended period. There are no penalty costs attached to the solution.
The solution’s pricing is economical. The customers have their own flexibility. Customers have to pay for an annual license, and the licensing has a subscription model as well as a perpetual license. The customers have to pay for the subscription, and there's also a one-time cost for installation and setup.

I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive. It's an all-in-one solution, and the essential point here is that you don't have multiple solutions that you have to integrate. What I like about it is that it is a turnkey solution that is very user-friendly, and easy to operate.

The solution has a yearly subscription, or it's a perpetual license. I rate the price a six out of ten because it is pretty high, especially regarding hardware costs.
For the features that they offer compared to the other competitors, the pricing is good. Most of the solutions we have are software-based solutions. When we are looking at Quorum, then that is a hardware-based solution. It's not an apple-to-apple comparison between the two, however, if we take the overall cost of another solution, which is software, including the hardware costs, it comes in at pretty much the same.

My advice is to take a look at both the on-premises and cloud offerings from Quorum. We have been using an on-premises solution but we will probably evaluate the cloud version come renewal time.

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. That's not a big deal when you're pretty much guaranteed that you're going to be able to recover in an emergency situation. That's well worth it. I think they're really reasonable. If you price out servers like the ones they put in here, and even if you were to put it in your own system — without figuring out the software and all of the logistics of doing that — it would cost you almost as much just to buy the hardware. Microsoft licensing is very expensive and, if you're going to do anything on your own, you've got to have a team of developers. That's just not something we're in the business of doing with a small IT department. We don't have time to do stuff like that.

The solution can be on the pricier side depending on options selected but it's one of those situations where if time is valuable and resources are limited, it might be worth it. Each use case is unique.

The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have. It pays for itself daily, even if you never have a disaster (knock on wood).
It's been a while since I've purchased it and I only do maintenance now. Licensing is based on of the number of nodes you have, the number of end devices you're backing up. It's based on the cloud service, if you're going to have that. And, if you're going to have multiple devices that are backups of each other, they will have their own. But most of these are pretty straightforward. The only one that I don't have experience with is the bare metal restore. I don't know how that's licensed.
The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years. We bought hardware from Quorum which was part of the total. We paid upfront to get a discount.
If you were to go out and buy a server, you would not pay much more than what you would pay for the devices that they sold us. They took a massive discount off of these devices. If I were to give you a quote on what the servers would cost, it might not be accurate across the board because each device is configured differently, depending on how much memory you need, how much hard drive space that you need, the processor size, and how many HA devices you're going to be putting on it. There are a lot of factors involved in pricing. There is also a maintenance agreement for the software and updates. Those also vary in pricing, depending on how many protected nodes are going to be on it. Included in that is the support from Quorum, so if something goes wrong, you give them a call. You get somebody on the phone an hour or so later. You start a remote session and they log in and they take care of everything. It's really nice.
Quorum onQ is the global leader in 1-click instant recovery, providing full immediate recovery of your critical systems after any storage, system or site failure. It does this by automatically maintaining up-to-date, ready-to-run virtual machine clones of your physical and virtual servers stored on a dedicated appliance – clones that will transparently take over for failed servers within minutes.
It's a little expensive. That said, the cost aligns with other advocacy tools we have evaluated.

The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep.

When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different.
This is the best money I spend on my budget. We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value.
