Quantum Corp. (NYSE: QTM), the leading global specialist in backup, recovery and archive, today announced the results of third-party research that was conducted to gauge Quantum customer satisfaction rates. The study found that 92 percent of the company's customers are satisfied or extremely satisfied with Quantum overall, and 90 percent would recommend Quantum to their colleagues. The research was conducted across Quantum's customer base, covering a broad range of companies by size and industry and all product categories.

"We are very pleased with the research results, which demonstrate the benefits Quantum provides to customers through our broad range of integrated disk and tape solutions, strong sales engagement and comprehensive service and support," said Janae Lee, vice president of marketing for Quantum. "We also recognize the importance of driving ongoing improvement and will continue to incorporate customers' feedback as we focus on addressing their evolving data protection and retention needs and further enhancing their overall experience."

Conducted by Creative Strategic Consulting, the research showcased Quantum's value as the leading specialist in backup, recovery and archive. For product satisfaction, Quantum scored 91 percent, overall. Topping the individual product ratings were Quantum's Scalar® i500 midrange tape library and Scalar i2000 enterprise tape library, at 100 percent and 97 percent, respectively. Performance, scalability, flexibility and features/functionality were the key criteria customers noted in their assessments of these automation offerings.

In addition to Quantum's high product satisfaction scores, the company also received strong marks for both sales engagement and service/support. 88 percent of customers reported that they were satisfied or extremely satisfied with Quantum's sales and pre-sales interaction, while the rating for service and support was 85 percent.

"When we began looking for a way to back up our 500 servers, across two data centers, Quantum was there every step of the way helping us design a comprehensive solution - rather than just selling us a bunch of products - that would meet our requirements and budget," said Derek Masseth, assistant director of systems infrastructure for the University of Arizona.

"Quantum is also very good when it comes to service and support," continued Masseth. "We rarely call them. In fact, they call us if they notice a problem with our system via their proactive monitoring capabilities. Quantum understands that our systems need to work 24x7, and they do everything they can to make sure we accomplish that. They are very easy to do business with and I highly recommend them."
