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."This solution is very stable."
"Simple, stable and straightforward."
"The solution has a longer lifespan."
"It is the best umbrella, serving the best applications."
"When you reach out to your maximum license availability, or you exceed your license limit, NetWorker never stops doing your backups."
"Dell NetWorker's valuable feature is its ability to configure the network for immutability, specifically for backups."
"It can support many different versions, both newer and older."
"When it was required that data had to be restored for our customer, it was accomplished successfully and this has kept our end users satisfied."
"The solution can scale as needed."
"You can see how the logs are applied, check the apply time, and how far behind the standby is at any given time."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is a top-notch product, super stable, making it our go-to for internal operations."
"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."
"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."
"It's not easy to integrate. We have to read a lot of documentation in order to configure the solution."
"The front end of the solution could improve. The user-friendliness is lacking."
"The team does not have enough knowledge to support you."
"We have faced problems with the initial configuration of the solution."
"NetWorker's major problem is its legacy software."
"Dell NetWorker could improve the GUI to include rack recovery."
"There should be total integration of the replication and cloud logistic back up on cloud."
"When you're working with VMware, you need to use vProxy machines. You have to install the vProxy for every host in the VMware environment."
"The predominant issue lies in the communication link between the secondary and primary databases."
"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."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The product could improve its pricing."
"For Italian medium-sized companies, the main challenge lies in the cost associated with licenses."
"Overall, there are some operational issues that need to be dealt with."
"The deployment cost is expensive."
"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."
