Most customers use it for DR. In the event of a switchover or failover, if there's a patch applied to the environment, they use DPR to carry out the failover activity. Any disaster or power outage will prompt them to fail over to PR.

Our company is fully into Oracle. So, we use most of the enterprise things in Oracle, and our core application is in Oracle only. The data reduction and Active Data Guard, all the stuff that's happening, is in Oracle only. Maybe we have a reactivation program trying to move into other purpose-built data, but that's in an early stage.
I use Oracle Data Guard to keep a backup copy of my database for quick recovery in case of a disaster and offload some tasks to a separate copy of the database. It has evolved a lot in the last ten years and is now really good at both. It ensures that if something goes wrong with the main database, you can smoothly switch to a backup without much downtime, keeping things running smoothly.

Oracle Data Guard is a critical part of our business applications. The solution helps protect our data from accidental or unauthorized changes. The solution can be deployed on-prem and on the cloud.
The product is used for disaster recovery as well as being able to put in read only mode and run queries or reports on DR site. You can run reports or test scripts on standby and tune them without having to worry about affecting anything going on in productions. That way, you know exactly how the reports and queries will perform in production before installing it. You have the exact data and environment provided your standby is set up the same as your production database and server. This also help gives you a better ROI on the DR site to.

My primary use case is to cache our monthly data and ensure that same data is copied for DR (disaster recovery) side. This solution is deployed on-premises.
We have a primary database and a secondary database. Both databases are on different sites, which are geographically distant. One site is used as the primary site, and the other one is used as the secondary site. We have configured Oracle Data Guard to instantly replicate the data from one database to the other database on a different site. That's what we do with the Oracle Data Guard at this point. It's about business continuity.

The primary use case of this solution is for data protection, disaster recovery, and it's used as a backup database to restore the primary databases. It gives the client comfort in case of any incidents, disaster or any catastrophic situation because it maintains, manages, and monitors the database and keeps a backup.

We implemented Oracle Data Guard for disaster recovery, even though one can't implement disaster recovery across multiple sites using stretch clusters, and implement a server pool at both sites. You have to build a dedicated server pool on each of the locations.

The primary use of this solution is for the high availability. If the database or server crashes, the switches go over to the standby database becoming the primary database. We use Data Guard in order to have a high-availability solution and high-availability configuration in our data center.
Oracle Data Guard ensures high availability, data protection, and disaster recovery for enterprise data. Data Guard provides a comprehensive set of services that create, maintain, manage, and monitor one or more standby databases to enable production Oracle databases to survive disasters and data corruptions. Data Guard can be used with traditional backup, restoration, and cluster techniques to provide a high level of data protection and data availability.
We've implemented Oracle Data Guard for both types of databases within our private cloud environment, ensuring data protection and high availability.
Most customers use it for DR. In the event of a switchover or failover, if there's a patch applied to the environment, they use DPR to carry out the failover activity. Any disaster or power outage will prompt them to fail over to PR.
I have utilized it as a backup system, with the disaster recovery aspect coming into play only when there was an actual disaster on the primary side.

I use Oracle Data Guard as a DR (disaster recovery) solution. Usually, I use the free license Data Guard, which is called the physical Data Guard.

We moved from on-premises to a private cloud. Only our ERP admins use this solution, so it's about five people.
We use it for application disaster recovery. It is deployed on-prem, and one side is our side, and the second side is Microsoft Azure.

We primarily use the solution for disaster recovery.
We have a couple of Oracle systems that are attached to different types of applications. In terms of Data Guard, we use it for factory monitoring.
The primary use of this solution is for the high availability. If the database or server crashes, the switches go over to the standby database becoming the primary database. We use Data Guard in order to have a high-availability solution and high-availability configuration in our data center.
Data focus is the main issue. Most of the features of a new database still go to an Oracle administration section.
