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."The most valuable feature is the flashback standby, which allows us to test without scrapping the database."
"Backup and application continuity are most valuable."
"One of the most valuable features is real-time replication. The version we're using is reliable and easy to deploy."
"Snapshot and Data Guard Manager are awesome features."
"Technical support is very good. If at any time we write a ticket, we get the appropriate answer on time."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any bugs, glitches, or crashes. We find it to be quite reliable."
"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."
"The solution can scale as needed."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"The file search feature across all backups has been helpful."
"Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate."
"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"The system is able to determine when it is the best time to do backups. This is SLA-driven, and if it is not possible to maintain this SLA, the system will tell you too."
"The ease of use and innovation are the features that stand out for us."
"Management is so simple that anyone can check the backups and do restores when necessary."
"Rubrik is cheap, and you get good performance."
"The product could improve its pricing."
"Overall, there are some operational issues that need to be dealt with."
"A significant improvement for Oracle Data Guard would be enabling the disaster recovery site to handle read and write operations, not just data storage."
"The initial setup is complex."
"For Italian medium-sized companies, the main challenge lies in the cost associated with licenses."
"The database administration needs improvement. With Oracle, we have a lot of features for administrating data, but it might be too many. It needs to be simplified. It should be automated. Looking at Enterprise Manager, there are too many KPIs in place."
"The only difficult part is the cost factor, licensing. Another area of improvement is support."
"We would like to be able to see the date time stamp when you execute DGMGRL commands."
"The only thing that can be improved is catering for open source databases because at the moment it doesn't cater for Mongo, MySQL, and Postgres."
"I would like a way to set monthly backups on a certain date and time."
"User interface could be improved."
"The functionality is missing, but they are very receptive to our thoughts and ideas."
"The licensing cost is quite high. That is something that needs to be worked out, because so many times it happens that the team does not have the budget or there are other issues at that time. Cost has become an important factor in deciding whether to continue with the Rubrik solution."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"I have a personal want which might not necessarily make sense with Rubrik as a company or Rubrik as a software, but it'd be really nice if they could also handle things like item-level backups and restores of Active Directory objects and DNS and DCP objects."
"We have some challenges with the solution's reporting because historical reports have some limitations."
