Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."
"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."
"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."
"They are the best support that we have had so far. When you contact or email them, they are very quick to respond. They always have someone available for us. That's what we want as a customer, we want someone to listen to us."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."
"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the 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 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."
"Technical support is very good. If at any time we write a ticket, we get the appropriate answer on time."
"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."
"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."
"The solution has been stable so far."
"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."
"Snapshot and Data Guard Manager are awesome features."
"This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"It is not always stable."
"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."
"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."
"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."
"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."
"For Italian medium-sized companies, the main challenge lies in the cost associated with licenses."
"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."
"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 implementation is complex for anyone who's jumping into it without any experience. It's all command-line driven implementations. For some, that's a turn-off."
"The IP implementation and maintenance are a little bit hard to manage across Oracle solutions, including Oracle Data Guard."
"The usage of block storage devices in the cloud or migration of a type of storage from one site to another site can be improved. Currently, we have to use multi-node to single node because of the lack of storage support on the Azure side. It did not really work. Our DBA had to spend a lot of time tweaking the Data Guard tools, or the underlying Oracle VMs, to make sure that Data Guard would run on top of different types of storage. So, if it can support transporting or getting from one type of storage to another type of storage in a different site or a different technology, it would be very helpful."
"It is a very useful administrative IT tool. It saves on costs."
"When the data replicates into the standby database there is a possibility of having a microsecond amount of data loss. The data loss occurs when there is a network disconnection between the primary and secondary standby database located in the data centers or if there is a crash in the primary database."
