Pros
"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances.""The initial setup is easy.""The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage.""The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence.""Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads.""The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost.""The product is successful with the SMB market.""The most valuable feature is the ease of use."

"Quorum OnQ has a good ransomware protection feature, and customer service and support were very good.""It is a stable 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.""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 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.""The solution offers good documentation.""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
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios.""The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want.""Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud.""The GUI could be slightly improved.""The GUI has room for improvement.""The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient.""There is room for improvement in stability.""It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."

More N2WS Backup & Recovery Cons →

"Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu.""There was a situation I faced in the past when I contacted the tool's support team, and it took them a while to respond.""I would really like it if they followed comparable products from other vendors and had an option where you could offload to tape. I know it sounds incredibly antiquated, but the benefit I see is that there would be a better air gap than you have with backing up to an online source.""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.""It would be beneficial if file culling could be more granular.""The user interface needs to be improved.""We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them.""They need integration with other platforms."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
  • "The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."
  • "AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."
  • "It's very economical and worth the cost."
  • "It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
  • "The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
  • More N2WS Backup & Recovery 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."
