We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Quorum OnQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It is very stable."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery."
"A very high level security environment for secondary data."
"Quorum OnQ has a good ransomware protection feature, and customer service and support were very good."
"The most useful feature is the one-click recovery."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"I have used the BMR (Bare Metal Restore) in several emergencies and it has absolutely saved my bacon."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"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."
"Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu."
"At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem."
"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."
"The price is high and could be more competitive."
"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."
"Lacks compatibility in terms of supporting other OS."
"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."
