Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product allows for much easier cross server monitoring and administration."

"SQL Server Configuration: This allows admins to compare and edit server configurations for one or more SQL servers saving a lot of time when managing large numbers of instances."

"Apart from the fact that we are assured high availability and disaster recovery, we use this product for different purposes as well."

"The initial setup is straightforward. It's very easy to implement the solution. Deployment took about one hour. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance, so long as that person has a good background of administration and operation."

"I think it is the best, most robust and flexible product available."

"From the simplest to the most complex environments, and with millions of transactions, MIMIX can adapt to any environment."

"The replication portion of the solution is perfect."

"We were able to perform major system maintenance on our production system after performing a switch or production role swap."

"Knowing that our data is in multiple backup locations, provides us with piece of mind as far as a disaster recovery situation is concerned."

"Customer Service: Excellent; their team is very knowledgeable and responsive."

Cons

"A set of T-SQL admin snippets might be useful, e.g., code to create users, databases, indexes, etc. It would definitely be welcomed in the bundle."

"The MQSeries replication part doesn't work smoothly, sometimes requiring more manual activity to ensure synch between live and backup."

"OS version compatibility needs work."

"Replication of the IBM i spooled files and files on the IFS system (Windows-like environment). About 1/2 the time, we have to nudge the system a bit to get the file(s) over."

"Could make it easier to fix object errors."

"I think that there should be a converged effort with IBM for faster remote journal entry reads when the remote journal is in "fire mode"."

"Replication errors need to be resolved."

"The version we're using is not portal ready."

"Customer support is good but they do try to squeeze out those service dollars."
