Quest
The product can be run on-premises or in the cloud. It is a fantastic option to reduce the size and storage requirements of backup jobs. If your backup system can already produce a reliable reduction in storage up to 75% then I would say the QoreStor appliance would be irrelevant in your case. It does not perform backups itself. It is simply an extra step to reduce size, encrypt and offload backups to the cloud. this reduces the load on a backup system to handle other tasks while the QoreStor takes over.

This is the most powerful platform that administers all our storage capacity. It has great server that distributes data from various sources to each department. It has secure database that cannot be easily compromised by unauthorised access. Data backup has given us more trust with this product since we can focus on more productive tasks. The customer support is reliable and can easily be reached when there is arising performance challenge.

The support team is the main reason I am sticking to Quest/KACE products. They are stellar to work with and always responsive when I need help. The team listens to the user's recommendations for added features and tends to add the ones that really have merit. Support is everything when it comes to working with such a company

When I evaluated the Dell system it was an entirely new server on-site, with licensed levels of inlocking the storage it had on board. For a smaller organization, the Dell system was not cost-effective with a large upfront payment, and additional hardware to manage on-site. The QoreStor system was a virtual machine that could pop into my current system and just use allocated storage already in place. In addition, the upfront cost was dramatically less than the Dell option and no additional hardware

My experience with SUSE Enterprise Storage has been great. I have not come across any powerful platform that is more reliable in data storage and backup than this software. It has great servers that monitors data across our enterprise. Data transfer from one department to other is well monitored and the network paths are always secure. Licensing and maintenance of the available plans does not incur added cost that can affect operations in our company.
