the best database cluster-management software
What do you like best about the product?
it is very easy to setup, the documentation is great and the support is fast. Also the software itself, with its automatic repair/reconcile features is very easy to maintain. It is an all in one solution for a database cluster.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no information/newsletter or push notification from the software when a new version is available. Also, the pricing is quite high; you pay a 4 digits sum for a single datanode.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a cluster managed by clustercontrol makes everything very easy. You dont need to have the specific knowledge of how a certain cluster type works; it is all very click-ready and easy. Our biggest benefit is to have 100% available database; which is great for our customers. we can steer the traffic from one node to another without any downtime an can maintain the other nodes easily. The automatic backup feature and notification integration is also a big benefit for us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should definitly order the support option; they do a check twice a year and a meetup with their experts to make sure their software can handle your needs; that was very important to us.

ClusterControl is the best open source cluster and database management system on the market.
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the best is the central management console for all clusters. Deployment is easy; monitoring and backups also. There are a lot of useful features that are not in other products
What do you dislike about the product?
Up to now, I've never been deceived by the product and since I use this product, that means 10 years, it has always been improved
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problems I'm solving with Clustercontrol once I've deployed clusters with the monitoring and alerting features are performances, network issues, failed backups.
If the cost is not an important point, this tool is a must for DDBB Admins

- 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

What do you dislike about the product?
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.
