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."For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"The initial setup is really straightforward."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"Snapshot and Data Guard Manager are awesome features."
"It's a very good solution if you want to protect your data across two data centers, or you have a middle man or many administrators who use these solutions for protecting their data. It's very reliable compared to other solutions that are most often not storage-based."
"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."
"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."
"The solution has been stable so far."
"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."
"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."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"Overall, there are some operational issues that need to be dealt with."
"For Italian medium-sized companies, the main challenge lies in the cost associated with licenses."
"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."
"The predominant issue lies in the communication link between the secondary and primary databases."
"They may need to include the monitoring and the alerting part in Data Guard."
"The product could improve its pricing."
"Oracle Data Guard is stable, but you need to keep monitoring the system all the time. You need to keep monitoring the archives."
"The deployment cost is expensive."
