"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.""Quorum OnQ has a good ransomware protection feature, and customer service and support were very good.""The solution is very cost effective.""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.""Quorum OnQ has taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery.""The most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery.""The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use.""The most valuable feature is spinning up a ready-to-go VM in a test or production environment that is based on a backup stored on the Quorum device."

Cons
"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."

More Dell CloudBoost Cons →

"I paid for subscription of Firewall. I paid for subscription of endpoint protection. Thet should introduce single subscription for all services.""It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular.""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""I don't love the scheduler, as I think that interface could use an overhaul.""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.""Lacks compatibility in terms of supporting other OS.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
  • "Its cost depends upon the amount of data that needs to be protected."
  • More Dell CloudBoost Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
