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 possibility of recovering up-to-the-moment data is very useful."
"I started off as a storage engineer and ended up owning Dell EMC Data Domain and Dell EMC NetWorker. I've not used any other backup solutions at this scale. Dell EMC NetWorker does what I need it to do, it's efficient."
"The GUI is the best feature. It's very good and easy to use."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"If it's set up the right way, it's a stable product."
"The software’s best feature is data backup for any system."
"I feel that it is a good product."
"The solution is very user-friendly. After setting up five machines for our customers we teach them how to set up the agent and start doing their backups. It is very easy for them once they see how to do it, they like to do it on their own."
"Oracle Data Guard is a free solution. When you apply for Enterprise Manager, it comes for free with the solution."
"With Data Guard, Oracle guarantees zero data loss, providing peace of mind for organizations relying on their data for critical operations."
"Snapshot and Data Guard Manager are awesome features."
"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."
"We have found the replication feature the most useful. We use this feature the most. The ability to recover a database with less effort and the use of Oracle Data Guard Broker to administer the complete environment are also very useful features."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any bugs, glitches, or crashes. We find it to be quite reliable."
"Technical support is very good. If at any time we write a ticket, we get the appropriate answer on time."
"The most valuable aspect for me is undoubtedly the failover capability and the assurance of data safety provided by Oracle Data Guard."
"Currently, the NetWorker server only supports the Windows server bare-metal recovery, so an improvement would be built-in support for Linux and UNIX BMR."
"There are some limitations regarding scalability of the product."
"Since the product is not on the front banner of Dell, the support may not be the best."
"The support is an area with concerns where improvements are required."
"The UI needs some enhancement to be more user-friendly."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"Support is definitely an area of concern because of the time it takes to resolve our issues."
"he API side of the solution has certain shortcomings."
"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."
"Sometimes, the technical support team takes time to respond."
"The pricing of the solution is quite high. They should do what they can to bring it down so that it is more reasonable for customers like us."
"It is a very useful administrative IT tool. It saves on costs."
"The predominant issue lies in the communication link between the secondary and primary databases."
"For Italian medium-sized companies, the main challenge lies in the cost associated with licenses."
"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."
"It is a rather complex solution, so it could be more user-friendly."
