We performed a comparison between Dell NetWorker and Quorum OnQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Simple, stable and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Dell NetWorker is its quick configuration and handling of large databases."
"This solution is very stable."
"I started off as a storage engineer and ended up owning Dell EMC Data Domain and Dell EMC NetWorker. I've not used any other backup solutions at this scale. Dell EMC NetWorker does what I need it to do, it's efficient."
"Dell NetWorker's valuable feature is its ability to configure the network for immutability, specifically for backups."
"I like that it's stable and scalable."
"The solution is scalable."
"The backup software has been much faster since we've deployed the solution."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features was the usability, since many of the features were very straightforward. The backup and restoration process was also very fast. Although we weren't able to fully test the scenarios, one of the features was that we could have it restored on a remote site. However, since we were on-prem, we weren't able to test the remote site restoration."
"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 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."
"A very high level security environment for secondary data."
"The solution is very cost effective."
"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."
"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."
"While upgrading to a new version, we encounter challenges related to specific algorithms or code regulations."
"The deduplication needs improvement and it could use better integration."
"The solution could be graphically better."
"The licensing rules are difficult to navigate and understand."
"Since the product is not on the front banner of Dell, the support may not be the best."
"Its console UI should be better. It should also have more out-of-the-box reporting functionalities. It should also have easier cloud integration. They have got cloud boost and things like that, but if you want to directly back up to the cloud, I'm not too sure whether you can do it. For example, you can easily send data from Commvault to AWS, Azure, or a container, but it seems to be not so easy in NetWorker."
"Support is definitely an area of concern because of the time it takes to resolve our issues."
"The user interface has to be improved"
"It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular."
"Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."
"I would like to see iSCSI support added so that NAS storage servers could be protected. We heavily utilize NAS storage and the risk there is minimal backup options. Currently, we are backing up NAS to NAS which is costly and slow. Being able to integrate NAS server backup would be the last item on my Quorum bucket list."
"At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem."
"Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed."
"I paid for subscription of Firewall. I paid for subscription of endpoint protection. Thet should introduce single subscription for all services."
"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"
"Lacks compatibility in terms of supporting other OS."
