Find out in this report how the two SaaS Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"Druva is offered as a service so that we can access it from any enterprise-based browser or URL. We also have a single sign-on, which allows me to log in securely. Hence, I can easily access the system, configure it, perform day-to-day monitoring tasks, and check for any issues or configurations needed. Overall, it's a simple and easy-to-use tool with a high-speed and straightforward interface for management."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"It's incredibly fast."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"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."
"It is a top-notch product, super stable, making it our go-to for internal operations."
"The solution has been stable so far."
"The most valuable aspect for me is undoubtedly the failover capability and the assurance of data safety provided by Oracle Data Guard."
"We have not encountered any major challenges with replication. We were able to achieve near-real-time replication. Also, with the switchover failover, we were not getting any technical issues. It's a pretty stable product."
"It's a very good solution if you want to protect your data across two data centers, or you have a middle man or many administrators who use these solutions for protecting their data. It's very reliable compared to other solutions that are most often not storage-based."
"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."
"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."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"The speed could be better."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"The backup time is very poor. The backup runs continuously. It goes on from morning till night. The system performance also becomes very poor when Druva inSync is running."
"If I could have an accelerator or something to back up the solution on the cloud, that would be helpful. Also, it would be helpful if the accelerator could give me a buffer of a couple of days for any kind of immediate recovery on an offsite."
"Sometimes, the technical support team takes time to respond."
"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."
"Oracle Data Guard is stable, but you need to keep monitoring the system all the time. You need to keep monitoring the archives."
"They may need to include the monitoring and the alerting part in Data Guard."
"For Italian medium-sized companies, the main challenge lies in the cost associated with licenses."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The product could improve its pricing."
"For every standby server you have, you must pay a licensing fee, which is the main disadvantage."
