What do you like best?
This tools provide an easy way to deploy into your servers (no other pre-requisites needes, just operative system installed and updated) several kind of databases' cluster.
The main valuable points are:
- one-click installations (is not just one click but very easy installation steps based on click next, fill some basic info and finish)
- Alerts by email, slack or webhook.
- Possibility to schedule reports and send them by email.
- A bunch of useful option within the DB backup process
- A tool to control, monitoring, manage (all in one DB)
What do you dislike?
At this moment, the tools offer a community version, totally free but with restrictions to use several useful options.
By other side, the subscription versions are expensive if we take into account that we must have the servers, I mean, SeveralNines, only provide the tool (incluided support and updates) nothing else.
And the payment is yearly. The quotation is personalised by customer, in my case:
- 2500€ + taxes per node yearly.
So, if we need a 5 nodes DB clusters --> 12.500€ + taxes + servers costs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
High valuable options if the costs are not a problem or if you don't mind to use a Community version in production env. for your project/company.
