"If it's set up the right way, it's a stable product."
"It is the best umbrella, serving the best applications."
"The solution offers compatibility with many types of database systems. It is one of the largest backup solutions. Additionally, it gives important information about data domain systems with deduplication."
"I started off as a storage engineer and ended up owning Dell EMC Data Domain and Dell EMC NetWorker. I've not used any other backup solutions at this scale. Dell EMC NetWorker does what I need it to do, it's efficient."
"Simple, stable and straightforward."
"This solution is really the best in the market! After evaluating other solutions, we automatically decided to use this one."
"The solution has a longer lifespan."
"The most valuable feature is the flashback standby, which allows us to test without scrapping the database."
"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."
"You can see how the logs are applied, check the apply time, and how far behind the standby is at any given time."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any bugs, glitches, or crashes. We find it to be quite reliable."
"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."
"Oracle Data Guard is scalable. I rate it a ten out of ten."
"With Data Guard, Oracle guarantees zero data loss, providing peace of mind for organizations relying on their data for critical operations."
"We use Data Guard for online replication from data center, to data center for high availability. This is the most important feature."
"While upgrading to a new version, we encounter challenges related to specific algorithms or code regulations."
"There should be total integration of the replication and cloud logistic back up on cloud."
"The UI needs some enhancement to be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see better support for the container systems, and we would like to see more support for image backups instead of pure file backups."
"Reporting templates could be easier to understand and more comprehensive."
"There should be more vendors incorporated into the solution."
"They need to be compatible with the cloud because EMC NetWorker cannot compete with other products at the moment. EMC focuses only on their own cloud and do not take into consideration other cloud vendors."
"The team does not have enough knowledge to support you."
"For every standby server you have, you must pay a licensing fee, which is the main disadvantage."
"The IP implementation and maintenance are a little bit hard to manage across Oracle solutions, including Oracle Data Guard."
"It is a very useful administrative IT tool. It saves on costs."
"Oracle Data Guard is stable, but you need to keep monitoring the system all the time. You need to keep monitoring the archives."
"The initial setup is complex."
"We would like to be able to see the date time stamp when you execute DGMGRL commands."
"Sometimes, the technical support team takes time to respond."
"A significant improvement for Oracle Data Guard would be enabling the disaster recovery site to handle read and write operations, not just data storage."
