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."All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"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."
"If you have a problem with your primary site and can't access your primary database, you can continue working with the database that you have as standby on the other site, by changing its role to primary."
"The solution has been stable so far."
"With Data Guard, Oracle guarantees zero data loss, providing peace of mind for organizations relying on their data for critical operations."
"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 problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"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."
"For every standby server you have, you must pay a licensing fee, which is the main disadvantage."
"It is a very useful administrative IT tool. It saves on costs."
"For Italian medium-sized companies, the main challenge lies in the cost associated with licenses."
"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."
"The only difficult part is the cost factor, licensing. Another area of improvement is support."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The product could improve its pricing."
