We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Guard and Veeam Backup & Replication 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."With Data Guard, Oracle guarantees zero data loss, providing peace of mind for organizations relying on their data for critical operations."
"The most valuable features are the backup and restore. With this in place along with the clustering, the database is safe from hacking, hardware failure, power failures, and system crashes."
"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."
"Snapshot and Data Guard Manager are awesome features."
"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."
"There are many valuable features, for example how Copy Job is controlling the band with accelerators. The Enterprise Manager is a valuable feature. There are many very useful features. We can push in the market, because we have an advantage over the other solutions."
"The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V."
"The solution is easy to use and have good performance."
"I have found one of the most valuable features to be the integrity of the backups."
"I like how Veeam intuitively integrates with Zerto."
"The most valuable feature is the instant recovery."
"Veeam replication gives migration tools/options for VMware."
"It integrates easily with third-party solutions compared to other vendors."
"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."
"Sometimes, the technical support team takes time to respond."
"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."
"It is a rather complex solution, so it could be more user-friendly."
"Overall, there are some operational issues that need to be dealt with."
"The deployment cost is expensive."
"The predominant issue lies in the communication link between the secondary and primary databases."
"The only difficult part is the cost factor, licensing. Another area of improvement is support."
"The solution needs more detailed reporting."
"It's hard to answer because managing cloud storage in our version could be better, but now that they have improved it in the recent version, I cannot say it's a better point because I know it should be already fixed."
"Could offer a better conclusion of the backups."
"The only issue on which we would like to see for improvement would be, potentially, the ability to do some different things with recovery, like faster recovery onsite."
"The replicating from Veeam Backup Replication to Azure cloud could be improved."
"The implementation of the features can be improved. Currently, there is no segregation of duty. Normally, any backup software or client service software is implemented in a way where one person is responsible for the implementation of the server, and one is responsible for the client, but Veeam Backup & Replication is not implemented in that way. Therefore, restores don't work like that. The backup guys have to do the restores, which is not a good thing. Its pricing should also be improved. It is quite expensive."
"If a single file is corrupt then the restoration of the entire backup will fail."
"Veeam doesn't have the reporting part quite right. Its data visualization isn't as slick as other solutions like Veritas. For example, in Veritas, you can see a calendar that shows you which days are backed up. Veeam lacks features like that."
