We performed a comparison between Cohesity DataProtect 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."The four independent node cluster architecture is redundant. It maintains data integrity and load balancing."
"By using their Helios Cloud service, you have all your clusters, no matter where they are located, in one web portal."
"We like that we can use production data to run intensive reports that would otherwise bog down the production server."
"The solution is stable."
"Instant recovery options are a big benefit for urgent restores, as we don't need to wait for hours or days for a restore to complete before being able to access the files."
"The most valuable features of Cohesity DataProtect are SpanFS and the handling of hybrid workloads."
"We are happy with the support provided by Cohesity for the issues we've come across."
"I love the ability to clone a virtual server in only minutes."
"We chose this solution for the availability of the databases. We can't afford Oracle Grid, this is the best solution if you want something similar that's less expensive."
"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."
"It is a top-notch product, super stable, making it our go-to for internal operations."
"Oracle Data Guard is scalable. I rate it a ten out of ten."
"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."
"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 solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any bugs, glitches, or crashes. We find it to be quite reliable."
"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."
"I'd like to be able to pause a backup while it's running and have it resume when I tell it to resume."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"Their documentation could be refined."
"The GUI is in need of improvement."
"You need to put the full name instead of a few letters while searching for backup. It should also improve customization."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
"The product is still young and is continually improving. There have been a couple of buggy releases in the software that have caused us minor issues, so possibly some better QA before releasing would prove to be useful. We have also been inquiring about new app and functionality via the Marketplace that was teased months back but has yet to come to fruition."
"We have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones."
"For every standby server you have, you must pay a licensing fee, which is the main disadvantage."
"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."
"A significant improvement for Oracle Data Guard would be enabling the disaster recovery site to handle read and write operations, not just data storage."
"The IP implementation and maintenance are a little bit hard to manage across Oracle solutions, including Oracle Data Guard."
"The initial setup is complex."
"They may need to include the monitoring and the alerting part in Data Guard."
"The product could improve its pricing."
"We would like to be able to see the date time stamp when you execute DGMGRL commands."
