"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"It's a good product that's pretty easy to use."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you understand Data Protector."
"The solution is easy to use."
"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."
"With Data Guard, Oracle guarantees zero data loss, providing peace of mind for organizations relying on their data for critical operations."
"One of the most valuable features is real-time replication. The version we're using is reliable and easy to deploy."
"The most valuable aspect for me is undoubtedly the failover capability and the assurance of data safety provided by Oracle Data Guard."
"Data Guard also improved because customers with an active Data Guard license want to reduce the I/O in a production environment. Some application complaints to it for Oracle reporting purposes. It has a production environment that needs to be enhanced."
"Oracle Data Guard is scalable. I rate it a ten out of ten."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any bugs, glitches, or crashes. We find it to be quite reliable."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"OpenText Data Protector is more difficult to use and configure than OpenText VIM. The user-friendliness of OpenText Data Protector has to be increased, and the complexity of the tool needs to be reduced."
"I do not think that this solution is relevant in the current IT market. They have not upgraded their features and functionalities which makes it difficult for them to remain competitive."
"Other tools seem to be easier to use."
"I don't like this solution so much because it's very technical and compared to Commvault and Veeam, it's not so user-friendly. The interface needs improvement."
"This solution is not scalable."
"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
"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."
"Overall, there are some operational issues that need to be dealt with."
"For every standby server you have, you must pay a licensing fee, which is the main disadvantage."
"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."
"Oracle Data Guard is stable, but you need to keep monitoring the system all the time. You need to keep monitoring the archives."
"Sometimes, the technical support team takes time to respond."
"It is a rather complex solution, so it could be more user-friendly."
"It is a very useful administrative IT tool. It saves on costs."
