We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud 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."It's very stable."
"One valuable feature is unlimited backup. You can back up existing users and folders."
"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"Integration with Active Directory and the Azure platform make it a complete solution."
"The user interface is very easy to navigate."
"One-Pass (Archive) DataBase backup (Online Backup and Granular level restore), VM backup and restore."
"Great archive feature, OnePass, for the file system and Exchange servers."
"The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."
"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."
"You can see how the logs are applied, check the apply time, and how far behind the standby is at any given time."
"The solution can scale as needed."
"Oracle Data Guard is scalable. I rate it a ten out of ten."
"Technical support is very good. If at any time we write a ticket, we get the appropriate answer on time."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any bugs, glitches, or crashes. We find it to be quite reliable."
"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."
"Backup and application continuity are most valuable."
"I would assess the Command Center as a very useful but sometimes difficult tool. It is multipurpose. It has all the features of logging and monitoring, especially for the actual setup. For us, it is easy because we work daily with it, but for customers who only use it once a week, they sometimes have some difficulties. Command Center is not user-friendly for beginners."
"Its dashboard could be improved to provide a summarized version of all the jobs instead of having to go through each one of them. We should easily be able to glance at all issues. If I had not gone with the on-premise version, I would have had regular reports with the cloud version. It would be an advantage if they increase the compression rate of the backup. I am keeping it on-prem, so I'll need more disks depending on the policies that I have in the retention period. Its price could also be lower. If a good solution can be cheaper, it is always an advantage."
"The reporting is complicated and should be simplified in an upcoming release."
"The tool must improve the 1-Touch recovery of Oracle and Active Directory."
"I really struggled to configure HyperScale X as there was a lack of detailed documentation."
"The main area for improvement is that we sometimes experience negative effects from their updates. If they had a larger test area for their updates, that would help."
"Command Center definitely gives us a complete view of our data. But finding some of the granular, very small items that we sometimes have to find, such as auxiliary copies for tapes, I still find that it's easier to navigate and, sometimes, only possible to find them using the CommCell tool."
"They need to improve when it comes to large, video file archiving. They're good, but they have not met my expectations as a customer in this area."
"The product could improve its pricing."
"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."
"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."
"One thing that can be improved is the GUI. It would be good to have a very nice GUI to easily configure and administer, providing different presentations to the database administrator. The feature that can be included is the integration with third-party monitoring systems, that is, monitoring systems from other vendors, not only from Oracle."
"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."
"They may need to include the monitoring and the alerting part in Data Guard."
