We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Guard and Rubrik based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Technical support is very good. If at any time we write a ticket, we get the appropriate answer on time."
"If you have a problem with your primary site and can't access your primary database, you can continue working with the database that you have as standby on the other site, by changing its role to primary."
"The solution is really very stable. One good thing about it, compared to other products, is that you can just run it and forget about it. Unless you come across some interruptions in the network, it works like a charm."
"We have found the replication feature the most useful. We use this feature the most. The ability to recover a database with less effort and the use of Oracle Data Guard Broker to administer the complete environment are also very useful features."
"Oracle Data Guard is scalable. I rate it a ten out of ten."
"It is a top-notch product, super stable, making it our go-to for internal operations."
"You can see how the logs are applied, check the apply time, and how far behind the standby is at any given time."
"Oracle Data Guard has a nice feature called the DataGuard snapshot to open the solution in the read-write mode and make some changes to the database."
"The archiving, off-of-box, is awesome. It lets you put your data where you want it and gives you the peace of mind of having more than one copy of it. And it's smart about the way that it does the archiving. It doesn't just copy one-for-one. It does all of its processing of the deduplication and compression before it sends it off to the archive, which helps with our cloud costs."
"Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"One platform for instant recovery."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. It is a very simple system compared to just about any other back up technology. It is extremely easy to use and very versatile."
"The live mounting and compatibility of different operating systems is great."
"Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate."
"The most valuable features of Rubrik are the restoration and ease of use."
"Takes me 80 percent less time to manage my backup environment."
"For Italian medium-sized companies, the main challenge lies in the cost associated with licenses."
"It is a rather complex solution, so it could be more user-friendly."
"The pricing of the solution is quite high. They should do what they can to bring it down so that it is more reasonable for customers like us."
"Oracle Data Guard is stable, but you need to keep monitoring the system all the time. You need to keep monitoring the archives."
"The predominant issue lies in the communication link between the secondary and primary databases."
"A significant improvement for Oracle Data Guard would be enabling the disaster recovery site to handle read and write operations, not just data storage."
"It is a very useful administrative IT tool. It saves on costs."
"The IP implementation and maintenance are a little bit hard to manage across Oracle solutions, including Oracle Data Guard."
"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious. You only know it's suspicious, but you don't know the root cause. Other than that, everything works well."
"They should give more access to the backend capabilities. From a customer point of view, you do not have access to all the features on the system. You have to engage their support to perform some of the tasks. It would be helpful for an experienced engineer to be able to go and do some of those tasks prior to contacting the support."
"I have a personal want which might not necessarily make sense with Rubrik as a company or Rubrik as a software, but it'd be really nice if they could also handle things like item-level backups and restores of Active Directory objects and DNS and DCP objects."
"There are some features to improve on in Rubrik. For instance, they should have a tool where we can integrate with our SAP HANA. Directly from the HANA studio, we should be able to do a backup. That's what I'm looking forward to in the future."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"There could be better reporting and better filtering."
"With multiple Rubrik clusters setup in an environment, it becomes painfully obvious that this product needs a central management console."
