We performed a comparison between Azure NetApp Files and Oracle Database Backup Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."You can change it non-disruptively. You can increase the size and decrease the size online, which is a huge benefit compared to Azure disks. It just works seamlessly. You don't need to stop the instances."
"Azure NetApp Files has been stable."
"It has saved a lot of time. Because in the older, conventional hardware system, they need to raise a ticket to go to storage engineering, then storage engineering would increased the size. Now, it's dynamic. You don't have to do anything. This improved the time by more than 50 percent."
"The most valuable features of the solution is replication to another region and the performance. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. The initial setup is straightforward."
"Since we have NetApp's internally, we use the SnapMirror predominantly for this process in the cloud which is beneficial."
"Using NetApp Files got us out of a really difficult situation quickly, effectively, and at a reasonable cost."
"It's elastic, so it scales with our demands. We can start small, then with the addition of customer loads, we can expand on-the-fly without the need to reprovision something."
"Its security and ease of use are most valuable."
"It's a scalable product."
"From the database perspective, Oracle is the best."
"The backup is reliable and intuitive."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."
"The product's most valuable features are differential and cumulative backup functionality."
"The interface is good."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning."
"Replication and performance tuning are valuable features."
"The deployment process is somewhat complex compared to other storage solutions."
"Azure NetApp Files could improve by being more diverse to integrate better with other solutions, such as Splunk and the on-premise version. There are some use cases that are not covered natively by Azure. It is not the best solution because it is not external from the cloud which for me is the best type of solution."
"We would like for the files which are coming in that we can version them. So, if a file is accidentally deleted, there should have a recycle bin option where we can go back, and at least once, clean it up."
"Reserved Instances for Azure NetApp Files would improve more use cases, making them more valuable in Azure as the cost would be reduced."
"I would like to see multi-zone redundancy so that I don't have to worry about it. I just back up my data to that one SMB share and I know that it's replicated to a different region."
"We were looking for a clustered solution that has over-complicated things because we had it in AWS, which is Amazon. There was a solution for clustered NetApp. That meant there would be two NetApps that were not clustered because there was no solution for a cluster. We would like there to be an HA cluster solution."
"This solution would be improved with more innovation."
"I have a hunch that storage could be now the most expensive portion of our monthly bill. So I can imagine that, not this year, but next year we will be talking about looking deeper into ways how we can optimize the cost."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."
"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution."
"We cannot use the product with other brands."
"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."
"The solution needs to add an archive function."
