We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent.""The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency.""The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it.""The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues.""The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily.""All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me.""Ability to restore to any host.""This solution is stable."

"A very high level security environment for secondary data.""Quorum OnQ has taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery.""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.""The most useful feature is the one-click recovery.""Quorum OnQ has a good ransomware protection feature, and customer service and support were very good.""It's easy to implement, easy to spin up, easily configurable, to drop-in appliances and network. There wasn't a lot of time needed to spin it 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 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."

Cons
"Stability.""It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location.""Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage.""The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer.""The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement.""The scalability of the solution is limited.""If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear.""Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."

"The user interface needs to be improved.""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.""Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed.""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""We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them.""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.""One thing that could be done to improve it would be a single pane of glass for doing disaster recovery testing, where I could have remote consoles in one place... I still have to go to each location in a browser and then bring up the console. I'd like to see them integrate that into a single pane of glass so I don't have to go to each server.""At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There is a free version for Hosts with 2 VMs."
  • "There is a free version for two VMs. I would advise to study the deployment environment well, prior to committing to order a license per host."
  • "No other product offers these features for this price. The ROI is great."
  • "​By implementing the solution at multiple locations, significant cost savings were achieved."
  • "Altaro VM Backup is affordably priced. It is a best value for its price and has almost every feature that an expensive, popular product offers."
  • "The pricing is okay,"
  • "VMware is a little pricey, but it is a good solution and priced similar to other products."
  • "Altaro had the best prices and ROI in the whole bunch that we evaluated."

  • "We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
  • "When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
  • "The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
  • "The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
  • "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 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."
  • "When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
  • "The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
