We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Guard and Veeam Backup & Replication 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 can scale as needed."
"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 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."
"You can see how the logs are applied, check the apply time, and how far behind the standby is at any given time."
"Oracle Data Guard is a free solution. When you apply for Enterprise Manager, it comes for free with the solution."
"With Data Guard, Oracle guarantees zero data loss, providing peace of mind for organizations relying on their data for critical operations."
"Oracle Data Guard is scalable. I rate it a ten out of ten."
"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."
"We have evaluated other solutions but Veeam is the best for virtualization."
"The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V."
"It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup Replication is application awareness. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly and it has been working very well."
"Veeam communicates with the vCenter in VMware, which means it's very smooth and doesn't interrupt production on VMware and you can backup or restore anytime, anywhere."
"The peace of mind of the backup is very important. Incremental backups make it fast and easy to use. We can recover from any failures in case of any hardware failures or malware attacks. We can do a rollback and recover our services with a little downtime. We can rollback even in the case of unsuccessful updates."
"The backup and replication capabilities are quite good."
"I am not a direct user of this product, but my technical guys tell me that they like the product, and it is easy to use. We don't have any issues with it."
"Sometimes, the technical support team takes time to respond."
"The deployment cost is expensive."
"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."
"For Italian medium-sized companies, the main challenge lies in the cost associated with licenses."
"The predominant issue lies in the communication link between the secondary and primary databases."
"Overall, there are some operational issues that need to be dealt with."
"For every standby server you have, you must pay a licensing fee, which is the main disadvantage."
"The IP implementation and maintenance are a little bit hard to manage across Oracle solutions, including Oracle Data Guard."
"When in a domain, the virus can easily attack the Veeam server, something which happened to us."
"The Cloud version is not ready, they need maturity and ease of deployment in terms of management."
"Multithreading of health check process: This can take too much time to process on large jobs and/or large VMs."
"It would be ideal if users could know that their data is backed up and have some security functionality where you can actually use the backup to spin up a new cluster and take it from there."
"We try to compare Veeam with other solutions because we are the operations. Then we can give the answers for improvement which is the specific additional system features that other solutions provide."
"If a single file is corrupt then the restoration of the entire backup will fail."
"The pricing could be improved."
"It would be preferable if they could introduce a complete Linux version instead of relying solely on Microsoft for management. There should be a unified integration of all their products. Currently, there are various products like cloud backup and others that exist separately. It would be better if they could create a single comprehensive platform or product, as opposed to having disparate products that lack proper communication between them."
