"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests."
"Snapshot and Data Guard Manager are awesome features."
"The most valuable aspect for me is undoubtedly the failover capability and the assurance of data safety provided by Oracle Data Guard."
"Oracle Data Guard is a free solution. When you apply for Enterprise Manager, it comes for free with the solution."
"We have found the replication feature the most useful. We use this feature the most. The ability to recover a database with less effort and the use of Oracle Data Guard Broker to administer the complete environment are also very useful features."
"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."
"Technical support is very good. If at any time we write a ticket, we get the appropriate answer on time."

"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"Overall, there are some operational issues that need to be dealt with."
"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."
"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 IP implementation and maintenance are a little bit hard to manage across Oracle solutions, including Oracle Data Guard."
"We would like to be able to see the date time stamp when you execute DGMGRL commands."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Oracle Data Guard is stable, but you need to keep monitoring the system all the time. You need to keep monitoring the archives."
"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."
