IT Administrator at a museum or institution with 501-1,000 employees
I tested a solution from another vendor at the time (ITERA) while at a previous employer. I found the installation and replication set-up to on the hard side, taking most of a week to do by a specialist from ITERA. I also visited another company in the process of installing MIMIX and setting up the replication. Listing what to replicate took about 1 hour (same with ITERA), software installation took less than one hour and setting up the system and replication took about 2 hours. In all 1/2 day (MIMIX) vs. 1 week (ITERA). I moved to a new company and recommended MIMIX. View full review »

We previously used Data Mirror, but we switched due to the complexity we needed for our environment, as well as ease of use of MIMIX over Data Mirror.

AS400 (iSeries) Senior System Administrator at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees

We have used this from day one. I have personally used iCluster in a different company, and I can say that MIMIX is way better.

IT & Comm Infrastructure Operations at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees

We had an IBM implementation for SAN storage replication (PPRC). The solution had a complex recovery procedure when production system is down. Also, you can have corrupted data while MIMIX works at the application and OS/DB2 level instead.

I work with customers who had Vision Solutions OMS/ODS and switched to MIMIX because it has more advanced features such as easy monitoring and administration. They had more confidence in it.

Business Systems Administrator at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees

No packaged software. Lots of work-arounds, and piecing things together to try and replicate the same type of solution, but it felt quite inadequate.

Sr. System Mngt Engineer - System Architect at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees

I used a different replication solution in my previous company - IBM Global Mirroring - but not with my current company. They didn't have a solution prior to MIMIX and therefore have never switched to another product.

At a previous installation, we used external storage for the AS/400 and did a complete hardware disaster recovery, which was a great DR strategy but provided very little HA.
