We performed a comparison between Microsoft DPM 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."Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"It is almost perfect for Microsoft products. It is not a very powerful tool, but it is okay for small sites and small businesses with Microsoft products. It is easy to use for backup and restore. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers such as Exchange and SharePoint servers."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"One of the most valuable features is real-time replication. The version we're using is reliable and easy to deploy."
"The most important feature is that if I want to test the database at the disaster recovery site, I can take a snapshot, test it, and then revert it back to the original state without needing to restore the complete database from the primary data center to the disaster recovery."
"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."
"Another valuable feature is the possibility of backing up the database from the standby database instead of the primary database, to avoid backup process overhead in the primary system."
"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."
"Oracle Data Guard is a free solution. When you apply for Enterprise Manager, it comes for free with the solution."
"Technical support is very good. If at any time we write a ticket, we get the appropriate answer on 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 user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"Oracle Data Guard is stable, but you need to keep monitoring the system all the time. You need to keep monitoring the archives."
"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."
"The deployment cost is expensive."
"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."
"Sometimes, the technical support team takes time to respond."
"There is an issue with their application on ODG. There were a lot of edits in the logs. Sometimes, we only get a little cue from the Data Guard Broker logs if there's an issue."
"We would like to be able to see the date time stamp when you execute DGMGRL commands."
"The initial setup is complex."
