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.
"The most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery."
"The solution is very cost effective."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"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."
"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."
"The dashboard was good. I loved to see the maintenance dashboard every time I logged on. That was my first screen because it always gave me a reminder of how many days before my next renewal."
"It is a good overall suite of products."
"It is a simple and flexible solution to work with."
"We are happy with Veritas Backup Exec's stability."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to back up IBM Power virtual servers."
"The disk-to-disk paid backup feature is quite good, and file locking is a very important feature."
"The flexibility is very good."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"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."
"Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed."
"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"
"They need integration with other platforms."
"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."
"Lacks compatibility in terms of supporting other OS."
"There still a lot of room for improvement in synthetic technologies, especially when targeted to deduplication media."
"Doesn't include disaster recovery."
"We need to have duplication and better compression."
"Better integration with non-Microsoft products would be an improvement."
"One area that needs improvement is SQL backup. Backup Exec doesn't support higher availability."
"Its scalability should be improved."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."
"Initial setup is a bit complex and needs some expertise for troubleshooting when something goes wrong."
