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 valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"We use Data Guard for online replication from data center, to data center for high availability. This is the most important feature."
"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."
"Oracle Data Guard is a free solution. When you apply for Enterprise Manager, it comes for free with the solution."
"Another valuable feature is the possibility of backing up the database from the standby database instead of the primary database, to avoid backup process overhead in the primary system."
"Snapshot and Data Guard Manager are awesome features."
"Backup and application continuity are most valuable."
"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."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"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 usage of block storage devices in the cloud or migration of a type of storage from one site to another site can be improved. Currently, we have to use multi-node to single node because of the lack of storage support on the Azure side. It did not really work. Our DBA had to spend a lot of time tweaking the Data Guard tools, or the underlying Oracle VMs, to make sure that Data Guard would run on top of different types of storage. So, if it can support transporting or getting from one type of storage to another type of storage in a different site or a different technology, it would be very helpful."
"The initial setup is complex."
"They may need to include the monitoring and the alerting part in Data Guard."
"The predominant issue lies in the communication link between the secondary and primary databases."
"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."
"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."
"It is a very useful administrative IT tool. It saves on costs."
