Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The most valuable feature is the flashback standby, which allows us to test without scrapping the database."
"Oracle Data Guard is scalable. I rate it a ten out of ten."
"The solution has been stable so far."
"One of the most valuable features is real-time replication. The version we're using is reliable and easy to deploy."
"Oracle Data Guard is a free solution. When you apply for Enterprise Manager, it comes for free with the solution."
"Technical support is very good. If at any time we write a ticket, we get the appropriate answer on time."
"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."
"It is scalable."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."
"The user interface is good."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."
"The only difficult part is the cost factor, licensing. Another area of improvement is support."
"Oracle could be improved by the ability to manage it on the cloud. This on-premises version is secure and reliable, but I'm sure that they will soon provide a cloud solution that will be even better. In one to two years, we will probably move to the cloud—we have already moved to the cloud with Microsoft Exchange, but our databases are still on-premises. I would prefer managing a cloud version of Oracle."
"The predominant issue lies in the communication link between the secondary and primary databases."
"It is a very useful administrative IT tool. It saves on costs."
"For every standby server you have, you must pay a licensing fee, which is the main disadvantage."
"The product could improve its pricing."
"When the data replicates into the standby database there is a possibility of having a microsecond amount of data loss. The data loss occurs when there is a network disconnection between the primary and secondary standby database located in the data centers or if there is a crash in the primary database."
"One thing that can be improved is the GUI. It would be good to have a very nice GUI to easily configure and administer, providing different presentations to the database administrator. The feature that can be included is the integration with third-party monitoring systems, that is, monitoring systems from other vendors, not only from Oracle."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"The integration needs improvement."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"It could use deduplication features."
