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 restores are easy to do and have made it so that we can incorporate restores into our troubleshooting processes."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easy to deploy and operate."
"The solution's SQL cloning is great, and its Instant Mount restoration of virtual machines is brilliant."
"The most valuable features of Cohesity DataProtect are SpanFS and the handling of hybrid workloads."
"It makes our administrators' lives much easier to combine backup, archiving, and services like hosting file shares in one central system with only one user interface."
"Cohesity DataProtect is user-friendly and straightforward. The setup process was effortless, and both the backup and restore operations are speedy."
"Backups are quick and painless to set up."
"The ability to essentially instantly recover a VM and have it run on the Cohesity Platform while all those bits are technically being recovered in the background is useful to us."
"Oracle Data Guard is a free solution. When you apply for Enterprise Manager, it comes for free with the solution."
"It is a top-notch product, super stable, making it our go-to for internal operations."
"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."
"We use Data Guard for online replication from data center, to data center for high availability. This is the most important feature."
"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."
"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 scalable. I rate it a ten out of ten."
"When a new release is launched, there may be some bugs that need to be addressed by the developers. However, they promptly resolve these issues, and the software runs smoothly once again."
"The platform has certain limitations, mostly stemming from the restrictions imposed by the VMware API and some other factors. One area where there is room for improvement is the tracking of replicated copies, especially in the context of remote archive duplication."
"Non-cloud services need improvement."
"We have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones."
"The rack mounting instructions did not appear to be correct, but we were able to overcome it."
"The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors."
"This solution is only compatible with a limited number of storage arrays, including Pure and Cisco Hyperflex."
"The support is pretty bad."
"The IP implementation and maintenance are a little bit hard to manage across Oracle solutions, including Oracle Data Guard."
"A significant improvement for Oracle Data Guard would be enabling the disaster recovery site to handle read and write operations, not just data storage."
"There is an issue with their application on ODG. There were a lot of edits in the logs. Sometimes, we only get a little cue from the Data Guard Broker logs if there's an issue."
"I think it would be great to have a graphical interface assistant (like DBCA, ASMCA, NETCA, etc.) for initial configuration, monitoring, configuring Oracle Data Guard Broker and all the Data Guard Broker commands, without needing Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control installed."
"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."
"We would like to be able to see the date time stamp when you execute DGMGRL commands."
"The initial setup is complex."
"It is a rather complex solution, so it could be more user-friendly."
