We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"One of the features I find most valuable, is the good technical support.""The speed and the ease of the initial setup are both good. It is not complex."

More Dell ProtectPoint [EOL] Pros →

"The solution can scale as needed.""The most valuable feature is the flashback standby, which allows us to test without scrapping the database.""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.""Technical support is very good. If at any time we write a ticket, we get the appropriate answer on time.""The solution is really very stable. One good thing about it, compared to other products, is that you can just run it and forget about it. Unless you come across some interruptions in the network, it works like a charm.""It is a top-notch product, super stable, making it our go-to for internal operations.""The most valuable feature is the application or promotional code used in the production protocol to transfer data to the secondary database, situated on the DR site.""With Data Guard, Oracle guarantees zero data loss, providing peace of mind for organizations relying on their data for critical operations."

Cons
"The interface and documentation need to improve.""The product has to be more mature, like to be another six to eight months on the market. A lot of maturity needs to be incorporated."

More Dell ProtectPoint [EOL] Cons →

"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 product could improve its pricing.""Sometimes, the technical support team takes time to respond.""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.""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.""It is a rather complex solution, so it could be more user-friendly.""Oracle Data Guard is stable, but you need to keep monitoring the system all the time. You need to keep monitoring the archives.""The IP implementation and maintenance are a little bit hard to manage across Oracle solutions, including Oracle Data Guard."
