We performed a comparison between Microsoft DPM 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."I like the core backup feature. I also like the file server backup feature. I find Microsoft DPM interesting because it has fantastic integration with Microsoft products. For example, in Exchange and SharePoint, DPM is excellent when it comes to backing up data. It also does a decent job with open-source products."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"It is almost perfect for Microsoft products. It is not a very powerful tool, but it is okay for small sites and small businesses with Microsoft products. It is easy to use for backup and restore. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers such as Exchange and SharePoint servers."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"The solution is very cost effective."
"The solution offers good documentation."
"The most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery."
"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."
"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."
"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 data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"It needs portability for other vendors. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers, but it doesn't support third-party solutions such as Oracle Database. It depends on Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy, especially for Hyper-V, which has a lot of problems. They should enhance the Volume Shadow Copy functionality. Its reporting should also be better. Reporting is too weak in DPM."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu."
"Lacks compatibility in terms of supporting other OS."
"Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."
"At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem."
"I paid for subscription of Firewall. I paid for subscription of endpoint protection. Thet should introduce single subscription for all services."
"They need integration with other platforms."
"The cost could be reduced."
"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."
