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."
"By implementing remote journals, we have put the load on the target system as opposed to the source."
"No system downtime High Availability (HA)."
"We used it solely for IBM AS400 replication for disaster recovery/failover purposes."
"You can sleep without fear every night if MIMIX takes care of your data replication."
"The replication portion of the solution is perfect."
"In case we have an emergency or a sudden issue on the production system, we can put our point of sale terminals in local mode for 1 hour, switch over to the backup system, verify that all is running OK, then the POS systems can reconnect, and our users can sign on again and continue working."
"It has helped us cut down process time and manpower."
"Knowing that our data is in multiple backup locations, provides us with piece of mind as far as a disaster recovery situation is concerned."
 

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."
"Could make it easier to fix object errors."
"Replication errors need to be resolved."
"Switch procedures are not as easy and straightforward as it may seem at first glance."
"Customer support is good but they do try to squeeze out those service dollars."
"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."
"Installation is pretty easy but it can be fairly complicated to setup and configure."
"The MQSeries replication part doesn't work smoothly, sometimes requiring more manual activity to ensure synch between live and backup."
"The version we're using is not portal ready."
