Enhancing database management with operational efficiency but needs better compatibility

Era should be compatible with various environments, such as VMware and Red Hat, to be hypervisor agnostic. Due to increasing adoption among enterprise clients, integration with Kubernetes platforms is also needed. Furthermore, the product can benefit from improving its understanding of architectural setup and communicating its limitations to users and partners.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive are ease of use, and the flows from one layer to the next are simple to understand."

"One of the most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive is its performance."

"With Oracle, it took around one hour to refresh the database and now, with Nutanix, it takes a quarter of that time."

"It is also a single platform, all in one place, and that is a reason we went for this solution. Earlier, we had multiple platforms, the database and the OS, but this is a single platform that helps us with what we are doing."

"The solution allows quick setting up of new development environments and ensures the use of the storage more efficiently. It manages to create new clients to be utilized for development or reporting."

"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors."

"What I like about this solution is that it's more reliable compared to other solutions."

"We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."

"The solution enables us to speed up the creation of new instances."

"We have an enterprise-level backup product that we're required to use, so we don't rely on Era's version. [But] it could be an awesome first-line backup. It's very elegant the way they designed it. It's quick and it doesn't take up nearly as much storage space as traditional backups. It would definitely help to save on tier-one storage."

Cons

"The recovery features could improve in Informatica Data Archive."

"Informatica Data Archive could improve by providing training. Training is one area where we lack, there are not very many trained resources in the market for sales, GPM, proposals, new offerings, or new features that are being added to this solution. It would be really helpful for consultants, like me, to understand the new, cool features these solutions are constantly adding. Training is something, that should be in place."

"There will always be room for improvement, there is nothing perfect from day one. There are some technical challenges that we have with NDS. I believe with time it will be sorted out."

"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors."

"If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot."

"Their support is helpful, but maybe they need more technical staff. Their response was slow once, but that was the only time it happened, so I'm not sure."

"The solution needs to improve compatibility with other back-ups and products."

"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software."

"The solution should provide more integration with more databases."

"Era should be compatible with various environments, such as VMware and Red Hat, to be hypervisor agnostic."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Informatica Data Archive is reasonable. Different versions of the solution are available, such as the professional edition and enterprise edition."

"It's priced fairly... It's a good value. When you go looking for something from Oracle that automates things and makes your life easier, it's always going to be a minimum of $500,000. Era's nothing like that."

"This solution is reasonably priced."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."

"Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."

"The tool is expensive."

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"Era is quite expensive. The thing that will be a showstopper for them in the long run is if you look at it from a technical perspective on what it provides and weigh it up against consolidation of multiple other software suites."
