Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 23, 2025

Oracle Data Guard and Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup [EOL] compete in data protection and recovery. Oracle Data Guard stands out due to its robust replication and high availability, appealing to organizations seeking continuous data protection.

Features: Oracle Data Guard offers active-active data centers, advanced data integrity, and near-real-time replication. It ensures minimal downtime during disaster recovery. Nutanix Mine simplifies the backup process with an integrated infrastructure, central management, and is easy to deploy even in complicated environments.

Room for Improvement: Oracle Data Guard could improve by offering simpler configuration options, reducing setup complexity, and enhancing cost efficiency. Nutanix Mine may benefit from extended support despite the end-of-life status, improved integration with non-Nutanix environments, and addressing scalability limitations.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Nutanix Mine offers streamlined deployment within Nutanix environments but lacks ongoing support due to its end-of-life status. Oracle Data Guard, while requiring complex configuration, benefits from Oracle's extensive customer service network and support.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle Data Guard involves higher initial costs that can be offset by long-term data protection ROI. Nutanix Mine, with its lower upfront investment, provides faster ROI through lower management overhead and integration benefits, albeit with considerations due to its end-of-life status.

An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support

I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Active data protection has ensured high availability and supports seamless reporting workloads

In my opinion, Active Data Guard is the most valuable feature. We use the secondary side for reporting purposes, which reduces the load on the primary side. Oracle Data Guard includes functions such as automatic failover, but we use manual managed failover. After some months, we converted our primary to secondary and secondary to primary. Oracle Data Guard is effective in minimizing data loss and provides a good solution for that. The main benefits of Oracle Data Guard include minimizing data loss during a production failure. It is used for maximum availability when paired with Oracle RAC, so if any disruption occurs, we have an alternative Data Guard to convert our load to the disaster recovery site. Oracle Data Guard maintains a high level of data integrity by using archive logs. When a transaction happens, redo logs create archive logs, which are then applied on the disaster recovery side, ensuring that both databases are synchronized.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."

"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."

"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."

"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."

"We find the ease of use valuable."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."

"It is a top-notch product, super stable, making it our go-to for internal operations."

"The solution is really very stable. One good thing about it, compared to other products, is that you can just run it and forget about it. Unless you come across some interruptions in the network, it works like a charm."

"The most valuable features are the backup and restore. With this in place along with the clustering, the database is safe from hacking, hardware failure, power failures, and system crashes."

"We chose this solution for the availability of the databases. We can't afford Oracle Grid, this is the best solution if you want something similar that's less expensive."

"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."

"Another valuable feature is the possibility of backing up the database from the standby database instead of the primary database, to avoid backup process overhead in the primary system."

"The most important feature is that if I want to test the database at the disaster recovery site, I can take a snapshot, test it, and then revert it back to the original state without needing to restore the complete database from the primary data center to the disaster recovery."

"One of the most valuable features is real-time replication. The version we're using is reliable and easy to deploy."

Cons

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The solution's setup process should be simplified."

"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."

"It could be cheaper."

"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."

"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."

"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."

"There is an issue with their application on ODG. There were a lot of edits in the logs. Sometimes, we only get a little cue from the Data Guard Broker logs if there's an issue."

"It is a rather complex solution, so it could be more user-friendly."

"The only difficult part is the cost factor, licensing. Another area of improvement is support."

"Overall, there are some operational issues that need to be dealt with."

"The usage of block storage devices in the cloud or migration of a type of storage from one site to another site can be improved. Currently, we have to use multi-node to single node because of the lack of storage support on the Azure side. It did not really work. Our DBA had to spend a lot of time tweaking the Data Guard tools, or the underlying Oracle VMs, to make sure that Data Guard would run on top of different types of storage. So, if it can support transporting or getting from one type of storage to another type of storage in a different site or a different technology, it would be very helpful."

"The IP implementation and maintenance are a little bit hard to manage across Oracle solutions, including Oracle Data Guard."

"For every standby server you have, you must pay a licensing fee, which is the main disadvantage."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."

"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."

"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."

"It's a cost-effective solution."

"This is the best solution if you want something similar that's less expensive than Oracle Grid."

"If you want to have everything automated and done smoothly, you have to add additional licenses."

"It is not a cheap product, but if you look at the price, features, availability, scalability, and maturity, it is a very good product."

"The licensing cost is significantly high."

"Oracle Data Guard is a feature available only in Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, and is available for extra cost."

"The pricing is on the higher side."

"The cost is expensive."
