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."Backup and application continuity are most valuable."
"Oracle Data Guard is scalable. I rate it a ten out of ten."
"One of the most valuable features is real-time replication. The version we're using is reliable and easy to deploy."
"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 has a nice feature called the DataGuard snapshot to open the solution in the read-write mode and make some changes to the database."
"The most important feature is that if I want to test the database at the disaster recovery site, I can take a snapshot, test it, and then revert it back to the original state without needing to restore the complete database from the primary data center to the disaster recovery."
"It is a top-notch product, super stable, making it our go-to for internal operations."
"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."
"Most of the features that we can use with HPE products are directly integrated with the Veeam. This is very important for the customers to have only one pane of glass to manage the backups and also use the HPE products for the backups."
"No problems with stability."
"Get only one interface to manage all backup sites, secure them with replication, and manage outside LTO media."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are ease of use, dashboards, and reporting."
"A quick-working solution that is very user friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the continuous backup."
"The product could be improved if they wrote more PowerShell scripts for controlling Veeam."
"It's simply very good software for backup purposes."
"The IP implementation and maintenance are a little bit hard to manage across Oracle solutions, including Oracle Data Guard."
"The predominant issue lies in the communication link between the secondary and primary databases."
"Sometimes, the technical support team takes time to respond."
"The product could improve its pricing."
"For every standby server you have, you must pay a licensing fee, which is the main disadvantage."
"We would like to be able to see the date time stamp when you execute DGMGRL commands."
"It is a very useful administrative IT tool. It saves on costs."
"Oracle Data Guard is stable, but you need to keep monitoring the system all the time. You need to keep monitoring the archives."
"The only issue on which we would like to see for improvement would be, potentially, the ability to do some different things with recovery, like faster recovery onsite."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The documentation and communication could be better in Veeam Backup Replication."
"The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully."
"The orchestration feature can be improved. They can improve the virtual machine orchestration to make it similar to VMware. They can also provide an option to automate the backup and recovery and schedule a backup."
"Device backup could be improved."
"The price is an issue. If one has a large number of servers, say... 100-plus, and wishes to add more, an exhausted budget may hinder this ability."
"The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper."
