We performed a comparison between AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery 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."We have never had any issues with scalability."
"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."
"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any bugs, glitches, or crashes. We find it to be quite reliable."
"You can see how the logs are applied, check the apply time, and how far behind the standby is at any given time."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the flashback standby, which allows us to test without scrapping the database."
"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 scalable. I rate it a ten out of ten."
"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."
"It is a top-notch product, super stable, making it our go-to for internal operations."
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"It is a very useful administrative IT tool. It saves on costs."
"We would like to be able to see the date time stamp when you execute DGMGRL commands."
"They may need to include the monitoring and the alerting part in Data Guard."
"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."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The product could improve its pricing."
"Overall, there are some operational issues that need to be dealt with."
"For every standby server you have, you must pay a licensing fee, which is the main disadvantage."
