We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Guard and Veeam Data Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has been stable so far."
"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."
"The solution can scale as needed."
"Technical support is very good. If at any time we write a ticket, we get the appropriate answer on time."
"Backup and application continuity are most valuable."
"If you have a problem with your primary site and can't access your primary database, you can continue working with the database that you have as standby on the other site, by changing its role to primary."
"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 aspect is its reliability in recovering any replaceable data in the event of server issues in a production environment."
"Its interface is designed to be intuitive and it also offers seamless integration with VMware storage, additionally enhancing its ease of use."
"Continuous Data Protection is a game-changing technology."
"The solution's recovery process is very smooth."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of deployment, its many interesting functions, and its good performance for both backup and restoration."
"It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
"I think Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is an excellent solution for ensuring user-side disaster recovery. It involves a platform on-premise, which can be replicated to another site. It's a very effective solution, and we prioritize both the FTO and the FTO."
"The solution is quite easy to configure."
"The initial setup is complex."
"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."
"The only difficult part is the cost factor, licensing. Another area of improvement is support."
"It is a rather complex solution, so it could be more user-friendly."
"Sometimes, the technical support team takes time to respond."
"The product could improve its pricing."
"The deployment cost is expensive."
"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."
"Apart from security improvements, enhancing compatibility with various platforms and addressing limitations related to integration and verification would be beneficial."
"Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools."
"Veeam does image-based backups, whether it be of virtual machines or physical workloads, and they are able to back up general applications like Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. Sometimes, even Oracle and SAP. But still, there are many customers using other types of databases that Veeam does not natively support. For example, in the Linux area, MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported, but with many limitations. Like, if a customer is running a Postgres cluster, Veeam does not support that."
"It would be beneficial if it could expand its coverage to support Frostbox and provide greater flexibility for service providers to recommend backup solutions based on customer preferences in prospective environments."
"Enhancing the level of automation in IT processes would be beneficial."
"The product must improve its performance."
"The price could be optimized, and I am still waiting for support for physical hardware. However, it is currently easy to back up and restore environments with this software."
"The solution's pricing may be expensive compared to other products."
