More NovaStor NovaBACKUP Pros →

"Backup and application continuity are most valuable.""The solution has been stable so far.""Snapshot and Data Guard Manager are awesome features.""It is a top-notch product, super stable, making it our go-to for internal operations.""We have not encountered any major challenges with replication. We were able to achieve near-real-time replication. Also, with the switchover failover, we were not getting any technical issues. It's a pretty stable product.""One of the most valuable features is real-time replication. The version we're using is reliable and easy to deploy.""The most valuable feature is the application or promotional code used in the production protocol to transfer data to the secondary database, situated on the DR site.""We use Data Guard for online replication from data center, to data center for high availability. This is the most important feature."

Cons
"The price of NovaStor NovaBACKUP is an area that can be considered as a weakness or drawback, where improvements are required."

More NovaStor NovaBACKUP Cons →

"The initial setup is complex.""The pricing of the solution is quite high. They should do what they can to bring it down so that it is more reasonable for customers like us.""For every standby server you have, you must pay a licensing fee, which is the main disadvantage.""It is a very useful administrative IT tool. It saves on costs.""The implementation is complex for anyone who's jumping into it without any experience. It's all command-line driven implementations. For some, that's a turn-off.""A significant improvement for Oracle Data Guard would be enabling the disaster recovery site to handle read and write operations, not just data storage.""Oracle Data Guard is stable, but you need to keep monitoring the system all the time. You need to keep monitoring the archives.""The IP implementation and maintenance are a little bit hard to manage across Oracle solutions, including Oracle Data Guard."
