We performed a comparison between Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) and Oracle Database Backup Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product’s most valuable feature is IOPS."
"The most important feature is the volume types in those hundred EDS. For example, if you need a volume with high IOPS, you should choose an io2 or io2 Block Express volume type. The default volume type for EBS is GP3, which is a good balance of performance and price for most workloads."
"The product comes with multiple central port installations like gp2 and gp3."
"The tool has different types of volumes, like SSD and HDD."
"The durability and snapshot capabilities are good."
"When it comes to valuable features, ease of use would be number one."
"The most valuable feature is its scalability. I can easily scale the block from terabytes to gigabytes."
"One of the most valuable was snapshots. There were scenarios in which the whole EC2 crashed, or we were unable to use it for some time, but the data on the mounted volumes were crucial to us. So, at that time, snapshots were very helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning."
"It's a scalable product."
"The backup is reliable and intuitive."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."
"The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background."
"The product's most valuable features are differential and cumulative backup functionality."
"From the database perspective, Oracle is the best."
"The interface is good."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"The product data encryption feature needs improvement."
"I think performance can be improved."
"It is hard to access EBS volumes in different Availability Zones (AZs) because most EBS volumes are created in a single AZ."
"In Amazon EBS, it is difficult to reduce the space chosen by the customer. The cost increases the moment the size of the storage increases, and I will have to pay for two TB of the tool instead of one TB."
"There is room for improvement in terms of file storage. Recently, we had a scenario in which, in a file share, we had increased the IOPS capacity; this was for the production environment."
"I feel that there are some concerns when it comes to the accessibility area of the product where improvements are required."
"It would be better to analyze and find a way to merge both the file systems of Linux and Windows."
"We cannot use the product with other brands."
"The solution needs to add an archive function."
"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."
"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."
"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution."
