Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."It takes advantage of new features of DB2."
"Improved monitoring and performance management."
"It is very stable. We have had no issues."
"It helps us to reduce hardware costs and to optimize processing times."
"The most important features are batch reporting and the ability to create repositories, enabling automated analysis. These are valuable because they enable me to do automated analysis of trends over time and reduce the time for comparing performance between two periods to identify anomalies."
"It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed."
"The most valuable feature is its robust infrastructure management tools."
"One feature that is very good is the backup and validation process that's built into Era."
"We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."
"Overall, the solution is very good. It's easy to use and simple to handle many actions, such as VM cloning, testing, and prediction."
"What I like about this solution is that it's more reliable compared to other solutions."
"The patching is the most valuable feature. We spent a lot of time and effort on the patching of our SQL instances after hours. With Nutanix Era, you can schedule and automate them during your normal operational hours (during the day). You schedule all the patching, then everything happens automatically with minor tickets from the engineer. So, our patching, which took four hours, went down to an hour for the engineer. This is much better for us from a return on investment perspective."
"The Time Machine is the most valuable feature for us. Using it means that we don't have to take regular snapshots, yet we are still able to restore the database quickly in the event of a problem."
"All the information we need, we could use to have it in a more usable format."
"Minor stability issues."
"They need to provide a way to create and maintain performance repositories. The online tool is not perfect, but it is giving me what I need."
"Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems."
"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software."
"The solution needs to improve compatibility with other back-ups and products."
"If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot."
"The solution should provide more integration with more databases."
"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors."
"I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced."
"The patching should be a one-button function. Also, it works about 80 percent of the time, but 20 percent of the time it requires manual intervention. And sometimes, until you understand the technical underpinnings of that process, you can't fix it. I thought we would move past that. In the last version, they broke a big chunk of that for me, and that's why I'm waiting for the new release because they promised me it would fix the problem."
