Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"This product allows for much easier cross server monitoring and administration."

"SQL Server Configuration: This allows admins to compare and edit server configurations for one or more SQL servers saving a lot of time when managing large numbers of instances."

"In case we have an emergency or a sudden issue on the production system, we can put our point of sale terminals in local mode for 1 hour, switch over to the backup system, verify that all is running OK, then the POS systems can reconnect, and our users can sign on again and continue working."

"It's used in our new architecture, for production, HA/DR and it works with different data groups."

"Complete/custom machine real-time replication process (including apply and verification of destination)."

"The replication portion of the solution is perfect."

"The initial setup is straightforward. It's very easy to implement the solution. Deployment took about one hour. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance, so long as that person has a good background of administration and operation."

"Knowing that our data is in multiple backup locations, provides us with piece of mind as far as a disaster recovery situation is concerned."

"No system downtime High Availability (HA)."

"Provides high degree of comfort regarding High Availability (HA)."

Cons

"A set of T-SQL admin snippets might be useful, e.g., code to create users, databases, indexes, etc. It would definitely be welcomed in the bundle."

"I think that there should be a converged effort with IBM for faster remote journal entry reads when the remote journal is in "fire mode"."

"The systems overheads need improvement."

"Customer support is good but they do try to squeeze out those service dollars."

"Switch procedures are not as easy and straightforward as it may seem at first glance."

"The solution could use better dashboards for new users. They can look complicated until you get used to using the solution."

"Replication of the IBM i spooled files and files on the IFS system (Windows-like environment). About 1/2 the time, we have to nudge the system a bit to get the file(s) over."

"The monitoring part of MIMIX - VSP (Vision Solutions Portal) needs some improvements."

"Monitoring tools can be improved but are very useful already."
