Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The fast backup and recovery and the Full Backup features are valuable."
"Its deduplication technologies are the best in the market, currently."
"They are extremely reliable and scalable — they provide the best de-duplication on the market."
"The entire system operates seamlessly, with minimal hands-on involvement, allowing us to focus on monitoring rather than constant adjustments or deployments, as seen in larger, more dynamic environments."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The setup is very easy."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It's stable and offers good performance."
"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."
"The solution is very cost effective."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"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 valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery."
"I like this product because it is easy to use."
"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."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications and platforms."
"If there is a need to move the data from one backup solution to another, it might be difficult since there is no option for a straightforward migration."
"We'd like to see something that could also work with Unix servers and physical servers to have a unified solution that works with everything."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It's not as good as it could be."
"I have found the support from Dell EMC Avamar to be not as good as Veeam. The time it takes to receive support could be improved. However, once we have the support the agents are knowledgeable and helpful."
"The bare-metal restores could be improved."
"Avamar cannot back up Nutanix as a virtual solution."
"The solution could improve by having better integration and more flexibility."
"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."
"They need integration with other platforms."
"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."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"I don't love the scheduler, as I think that interface could use an overhaul."
"The cost could be reduced."
"We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them."
