Oracle Data Guard Other Solutions Considered
We evaluated and we did a kind of POC with MongoDB. But then the price of MongoDB was costlier, and then we realized that MongoDB is apt for a concurrent request, and mainly, it's a unique streaming kind of thing. Maybe for fraudulent systems, but not for code transaction processes.
So we did a POC with MongoDB, and then the pricing was costly on MongoDB, especially on the Guard. They call it a shard, and the cost is based on a shard. And Oracle has a lot of our DB servers, so they are so large. So, I never used MongoDB in production, but we evaluated it.

We operate on a unified platform, utilizing Oracle hardware, Oracle Linux operating system, and Oracle database, along with Oracle forms and reports. This cohesive setup streamlines our management processes, as we can easily specify our hardware requirements, including the latest operating system versions and support duration. Our commitment to a single platform ensures seamless integration and minimizes compatibility issues. For instance, in the past, when we briefly experimented with IBM servers, we encountered difficulties when attempting to replace a faulty hard disk with one from a different manufacturer. This experience reinforced our decision to remain on a consistent hardware platform, thereby avoiding potential compatibility challenges.

We did look at other options. However, those we saw did not have as many features as Oracle ADG.

I also looked at MySQL as a potential option before choosing this solution.

We use a cluster for some customers instead of Data Guard, but it is a different concept. However, it is more or less the same.
