We performed a comparison between Oracle Data Guard and Rubrik based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."We have not encountered any major challenges with replication. We were able to achieve near-real-time replication. Also, with the switchover failover, we were not getting any technical issues. It's a pretty stable product."
"Snapshot and Data Guard Manager are awesome features."
"Backup and application continuity are most valuable."
"Oracle Data Guard is a free solution. When you apply for Enterprise Manager, it comes for free with the solution."
"We have found the replication feature the most useful. We use this feature the most. The ability to recover a database with less effort and the use of Oracle Data Guard Broker to administer the complete environment are also very useful features."
"The most valuable features are the backup and restore. With this in place along with the clustering, the database is safe from hacking, hardware failure, power failures, and system crashes."
"Another valuable feature is the possibility of backing up the database from the standby database instead of the primary database, to avoid backup process overhead in the primary system."
"Oracle Data Guard has a nice feature called the DataGuard snapshot to open the solution in the read-write mode and make some changes to the database."
"The live mounting and compatibility of different operating systems is great."
"The solution is extremely stable. They've been phenomenal, especially for a young company."
"It has reduced our maintenance efforts. The amount of time and effort that would have gone in troubleshooting various issues related a data crash has been addressed by Rubrik. So, it has helped to improve our productivity. The data is being captured about our customers periodically that is secure and safe."
"Rubrik is a very scalable and high-performing backup restore solution."
"The most valuable feature has been the Live Mount feature."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"The most valuable features of Rubrik are the restoration and ease of use."
"Management is so simple that anyone can check the backups and do restores when necessary."
"It is a very useful administrative IT tool. It saves on costs."
"The pricing of the solution is quite high. They should do what they can to bring it down so that it is more reasonable for customers like us."
"I think it would be great to have a graphical interface assistant (like DBCA, ASMCA, NETCA, etc.) for initial configuration, monitoring, configuring Oracle Data Guard Broker and all the Data Guard Broker commands, without needing Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control installed."
"They may need to include the monitoring and the alerting part in Data Guard."
"Oracle Data Guard is stable, but you need to keep monitoring the system all the time. You need to keep monitoring the archives."
"Sometimes, the technical support team takes time to respond."
"The predominant issue lies in the communication link between the secondary and primary databases."
"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."
"Rubrik is expensive."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"Rubrik can only leverage cloud storage for archiving and has no cloud failover."
"Lacks availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"I would like to see Rubrik better integrate with Microsoft Active Directory. Instead of just backing up a full domain controller, I would like the solution to have Active Directory object knowledge so we can restore specific objects in Active Directory versus restoring the whole domain controller."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is difficult, and deciphering the logs without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
"There is room for improvement through a further extension of their Office 365 backup platform. In addition, it's still a bit cost-prohibitive to backup NAS. Those would be the two primary areas for improvement."
