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 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.""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.""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.""We have found the replication feature the most useful. We use this feature the most. The ability to recover a database with less effort and the use of Oracle Data Guard Broker to administer the complete environment are also very useful features.""Snapshot and Data Guard Manager are awesome features.""The most valuable aspect for me is undoubtedly the failover capability and the assurance of data safety provided by Oracle Data Guard."

"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent.""I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."

Cons
"The IP implementation and maintenance are a little bit hard to manage across Oracle solutions, including Oracle Data Guard.""The database administration needs improvement. With Oracle, we have a lot of features for administrating data, but it might be too many. It needs to be simplified. It should be automated. Looking at Enterprise Manager, there are too many KPIs in place.""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.""Overall, there are some operational issues that need to be dealt with.""The deployment cost is expensive.""Sometimes, the technical support team takes time to respond.""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.""They may need to include the monitoring and the alerting part in Data Guard."

"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas.""The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."
