Plenty of useful feature and reliable
We use Asigra for backups I have found all the features useful in the solution. I have been using Asigra for approximately two months. The solution is stable. The six people in our IT department are using the solution. The initial setup was a medium difficulty level. Some parts were complex…

Active data protection has ensured high availability and supports seamless reporting workloads
In my opinion, Active Data Guard is the most valuable feature. We use the secondary side for reporting purposes, which reduces the load on the primary side. Oracle Data Guard includes functions such as automatic failover, but we use manual managed failover. After some months, we converted our primary to secondary and secondary to primary. Oracle Data Guard is effective in minimizing data loss and provides a good solution for that. The main benefits of Oracle Data Guard include minimizing data loss during a production failure. It is used for maximum availability when paired with Oracle RAC, so if any disruption occurs, we have an alternative Data Guard to convert our load to the disaster recovery site. Oracle Data Guard maintains a high level of data integrity by using archive logs. When a transaction happens, redo logs create archive logs, which are then applied on the disaster recovery side, ensuring that both databases are synchronized.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"Flexibility really means a lot for us. Being able to address almost every client backup and recovery requirement means that we have a tremendous amount of confidence as do our partners that Blueshift is going to be able to deploy a solution quickly and efficiently."
"Simplicity, very easy to restore user data, means that we don't have to request off site tapes to be delivered to the office, can easily access the cloud data and restore most data within minutes."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"We like Oracle because the solution is very robust, it's also efficient for queries and is easy to scale."
"The stability and resiliency are closely monitored, and you cannot find the same protection solution outside of Data Guard or Oracle RAC for protecting your data."
"We chose this solution for the availability of the databases. We can't afford Oracle Grid, this is the best solution if you want something similar that's less expensive."
"I think for our company, the way we use it, we are very happy with it and the end customer is very happy with it."
"The solution is quite stable, as we haven't experienced any bugs, glitches, or crashes, and we find it to be quite reliable."
"We use Data Guard for online replication from data center, to data center for high availability. This is the most important feature."
"Data Guard adds an extra layer of a high-availability platform, minimizing application outages when something goes wrong with the primary database and allowing us to resume activities while losing minimal time."
"The most valuable aspect for me is undoubtedly the failover capability and the assurance of data safety provided by Oracle Data Guard."
 

Cons

"They should have 24/7 support for customers in different time zones. They are slow to respond to requests, and I get the impression that the ServiceDesk is overloaded."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"The management could be a bit better."
"At present, downloading the relevant files and placing them into a directory on the DS-System is a little cumbersome and open to error/malicious use."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"If one is most stable, I'd rate it a two out of five. We were facing some issues."
"Oracle could be improved by the ability to manage it on the cloud."
"We sometimes had scalability issues with read only."
"For every standby server you have, you must pay a licensing fee, which is the main disadvantage."
"It is a rather complex solution, so it could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see better failover."
"For Italian medium-sized companies, the main challenge lies in the cost associated with licenses."
"I think it would be great to have a graphical interface assistant (like DBCA, ASMCA, NETCA, etc.) for initial configuration, monitoring, configuring Oracle Data Guard Broker and all the Data Guard Broker commands, without needing Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control installed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"The cost of the Oracle license will depend on the negotiations with Oracle."
"​Oracle Data Guard is a feature available only in Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, and is available for extra cost."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"It's a cost-effective solution."
"If you want to have everything automated and done smoothly, you have to add additional licenses."
"It is not a cheap product, but if you look at the price, features, availability, scalability, and maturity, it is a very good product."
"This is the best solution if you want something similar that's less expensive than Oracle Grid."
"The cost is expensive."
