We performed a comparison between NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP 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."They have very good support team who is very helpful. They will help you with every aspect of getting the deployment done."
"The most valuable feature is its exceptional performance and storage efficiency."
"Its features help us to have a backup of our volumes using the native technology of NetApp ONTAP. That way, we don't have to invest in other solutions for our backup requirement. Also, it helps us to replicate the data to another geographic location so that helps us to save on the costs of backup products."
"The ability to do a straight SnapMirror from our on-prem to the cloud with no other data transitions is excellent."
"NetApp's Cloud Manager automation capabilities are very good because it's REST-API-driven, so we can completely automate everything. It has a good overview if you want to just have a look into your environment as well."
"In terms of administration, the portal which provides the dashboard view is an excellent tool for operations. It gives you volume divisions, usage rates, which division is using how much data, and more. The operations portal is fantastic for the support team."
"The good thing about NetApp is the features that are available on the cloud are also available on-premises."
"We are definitely in the process of reducing our footprint on our secondary data center and all those snapshots technically reduce tape backup. That's from the protection perspective, but as far as files, it's much easier to use and manage and it's faster, too."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning."
"The product's most valuable features are differential and cumulative backup functionality."
"From the database perspective, Oracle is the best."
"The backup is reliable and intuitive."
"Replication and performance tuning are valuable features."
"It's a scalable product."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."
"The interface is good."
"The DR has room for improvement. For example, we now have NetApp in Western Europe and we would like to back up the information to another region. It's impossible. We need to bring up an additional NetApp in that other region and create a Cloud Manager automation to copy the data... I would prefer it to be a more integrated solution like it was in the NetApp solution about a year ago. I would like to see something like AltaVault but in the cloud."
"The only issue we had lately was that outside our VPC we could not reach the virtual IP, the floating IP. I heard that they have fixed that..."
"Scale-up and scale-out could be improved. It would be interesting to have multiple HA pairs on one cluster, for example, or to increase the single instances more, from a performance perspective. It would be good to get more performance out of a single HA pair."
"One difficulty is that it has no SAP HANA certification. The asset performance restrictions create challenges with the infrastructure underneath: The disks and stuff like that often have lower latencies than SAP HANA itself has to have."
"Multipathing for iSCSI LUNs is difficult to deal with from the client-side and I'd love to see a single entry point that can be moved around within the cluster to simplify the client configuration."
"We are getting a warning alert about not being able to connect to Cloud Manager when we log into it. The support has provided links, but this particular issue is not fixed yet."
"I would like to have more management tools. They are difficult to work with, so I would like them to be a bit more user-friendly."
"They definitely need to stay more on top of security vulnerabilities. Our security team is constantly finding Java vulnerabilities and SQL vulnerabilities. Our security team always wants the latest security update, and it takes a while for NetApp to stay up to speed with that. That would be my biggest complaint."
"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."
"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."
"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."
"The solution needs to add an archive function."
"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"We cannot use the product with other brands."
