What do I think about the stability of the solution?

If the tool is on-premise, the stability depends on how we set it up and how often we take backups. If we take it once a month, it’ll be a problem. The tool is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The tool is scalable.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is pretty straightforward. The deployment is done in-house.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing must be improved. The only problem with Oracle is its pricing.

What other advice do I have?

When ADS came in, it caused major complexities. It didn’t have a reporting tool. We had to use JasperReports or other tools. I set up the backup locally. The recovery time objective and recovery point objective are defined by the user. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Provides valuable automation features and has an easy implementation process
Pros and Cons
  • "The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background."
  • "The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."

What is our primary use case?

We use Oracle Database Backup Service for data backup, restoration, and duplication. It helps us recover data from the development or test environment.

What is most valuable?

The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background. Once you get experience working with the command, you can save time.

The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time.

For how long have I used the solution?

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The product is scalable. We can add as many nodes as we want. It is suitable for enterprise businesses.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support team takes time to respond to the issues. They escalate the case from one team to tier one support engineer after four to five hours. The process could be faster.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

It is easy to implement the database. If you have all the required information, it takes two days to complete and requires one engineer to execute the process. It needs some maintenance, for sure. However, if you keep a check on it from time to time, then it needs very little work.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The platform is expensive. The pricing depends on the number of CPUs. They have their standard equation method to calculate the cost.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Oracle Database Backup Service an eight out of ten because of pricing and delayed support services.
