Provides APIs for everything and has good protection through encryption
As a lead developer, I struggled with the documentation for GCP. This could be improved by being made more clear. Also, the interface for managing file storage in the buckets could be improved, together with improved search and filter options. For the next release, I would like to see the solution behave more like a regular file-based system. Google Cloud Storage depends on OS, or it's supposed to be on Google Drive or another storage service. Google Storage files are sometimes very different. The solution should be expanded to be like a file-based system so that you can build a fast tool that stores files in Google Drive.
Derrick Day - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-use consolidation solution that can be used to manage backups of SAP workloads
Once the solution is in place, there's not a lot of maintenance required. We definitely have a maintenance contract with Oracle, but nothing out of the ordinary. I would recommend Oracle Database Backup Service to users using Oracle databases. We work with the solution as a systems integrator. Overall, I rate Oracle Database Backup Service an eight out of ten.
