We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and Oracle Data Guard 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."Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"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."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any bugs, glitches, or crashes. We find it to be quite reliable."
"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 can scale as needed."
"Technical support is very good. If at any time we write a ticket, we get the appropriate answer on time."
"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."
"Oracle Data Guard is scalable. I rate it a ten out of ten."
"You can see how the logs are applied, check the apply time, and how far behind the standby is at any given time."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"Because Acronis Backup is an on-premises solution, there is extra overhead. It's harder to manage, and there's no real remote access. You have to physically log in to the machine to manage it. The reporting feature works fine, and you will be able to send out reports. However, that is where it stops. The deployment could be improved and could be through a network chain. If we need to deploy two machines that are not connected to the internet but connected to two different networks, it would be great to have a machine with dual mix that has access to the backup server and to those machines. It would be like a relay that you can install on the machine with a two-mix, and that machine can then connect to your backup server and to the other machines. You should be able to see the other machines on that network and be able to deploy to it and push jobs to it."
"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"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."
"Sometimes, the technical support team takes time to respond."
"The IP implementation and maintenance are a little bit hard to manage across Oracle solutions, including Oracle Data Guard."
"The only difficult part is the cost factor, licensing. Another area of improvement is support."
"The predominant issue lies in the communication link between the secondary and primary databases."
"The deployment cost is expensive."
"For every standby server you have, you must pay a licensing fee, which is the main disadvantage."
"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."
