"All of the core features are valuable to us."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the native backup capabilities."
"The daily backups have become easier since we no longer need to handle large backups. The use of Azure Backup as a service has proven reliable and simplified our daily operations. Previously, we relied on LTO backups for data retention, but after migrating to the cloud and adopting Azure Backup, the delivery process has become smoother."
"Azure Backup is easy to configure and restore."
"It is easy to schedule backups."
"The scalability has been good."
"Our client’s infrastructure is protected by the tool."
"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."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any bugs, glitches, or crashes. We find it to be quite reliable."
"We use Data Guard for online replication from data center, to data center for high availability. This is the most important feature."
"The most valuable feature is the flashback standby, which allows us to test without scrapping the database."
"Backup and application continuity are most valuable."
"If you have a problem with your primary site and can't access your primary database, you can continue working with the database that you have as standby on the other site, by changing its role to primary."
"Snapshot and Data Guard Manager are awesome features."
"With Data Guard, Oracle guarantees zero data loss, providing peace of mind for organizations relying on their data for critical operations."
"The integration with the record database and integration with other applications will be good, especially with the database piece."
"We have a concern with the backup when were are working with VMs that are running in Barracuda Firewall because it usually fails."
"To make it a ten, it should have the ability to extend the retention and to perform a copy of the data outside of the subscription - with no additional costs."
"We faced some issues synchronizing the information in Azure when the storage was changed."
"The user interface is a little bit confusing and it could be better."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"The Azure Backup support for on-premises service is limited."
"The IP implementation and maintenance are a little bit hard to manage across Oracle solutions, including Oracle Data Guard."
"Sometimes, the technical support team takes time to respond."
"The deployment cost is expensive."
"The initial setup is complex."
"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."
"For Italian medium-sized companies, the main challenge lies in the cost associated with licenses."
"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."
"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."
