Preventing vendor lock in while enabling functionality is great. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately my organisation wasn't prepared to spend the necessary funds for the product, despite it's functionality. > > Overall the solution is great. The interface was intuitive and easy to use. ----- ### "King of the Database Clusterization" — 5.0/5 > **Cihat Okan** | *28 August 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: In the first install, it takes harder than console management for MAriaDB cluster for our 3 database servers. But after using its features, I saw that deploy \& install zero configuration was easier than using a database.. Inserting \& removing nodes to active cluster is a perfect module.. Tools of clusters are better than ever, haProxy, tuning options and others are very comfortable and reportable with ClusterControl.. > > **Cons**: Adding nodes and hosts are very easy but I couldn't remove hosts from the active cluster.. There were some errors occured and also I've lost my all databases due to wrong settings.. But as a god mess, I have backups and re-installed it from zero config to fix all.. > > Installing and configuring steps need some expert administration.. Because wrong settings may occured to lost your databases.. But with some calm, a successful installation can be made with patient and careful work. After installation everything was perfect.. Query monitor is also perfect for missing database settings.. Our database is almost better than single host installation with 3 nodes in ClusterControl.. ----- ### "ClusterControl Review" — 3.0/5 > **Joseph** | *30 August 2018* | Gambling & Casinos | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the monitoring and graphing. It's a great way to centralize management of multiple systems. > > **Cons**: No easy way to have a free license for testing features in a sandbox environment without obtaining temporary license. No way to see top processes and the resources they are consuming and be able to kill processes. ClusterControl screen refresh can be extremely slow, and even require restart when open for periods of time. Documentation is lacking in many respects on how to's and just general definitions of things are too generic. > > We are much better with it, than without it. ----- ### "CLusterControl is a mature and easy to use product for management of database clustering software." — 4.0/5 > **Martijn** | *21 September 2017* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. Automatic recovery of database (replication) clusters. 2. In my opinion one of the biggest challenges is to have in-depth knowledge about all their different database platforms being used. The builtin intelligence, advisory and health checking features of ClusterControl helps to overcome a big chunk of that gap. 3. Ease of deployment, in less then 15 minutes we are able to get a MariaDB or Percona cluster running. > > **Cons**: Faster and further development of features for other database platforms besides MySQL and MongoDB would be encouraged by me. For example PostgreSQL features and maturity could be improved. > > I've been following SeveralNines a couple of years and along with that way, I discovered the maturity of their product ClusterControl. All kinds of companies find their way to optimal data, for example, companies which are operating several database types that all need attending to. For such companies, Cluster Control is a very interesting solution to consider as it automates a lot of important tasks. But also at larger companies like VidaXL with a few dozen database nodes, the automatic recovery features for clusters are a great enrichment for their database operations. ----- ### "Very easy to deploy a cluster, also it facilitates administration and monitoring." — 5.0/5 > **Michel** | *23 September 2017* > > **Pros**: The numerous templates that facilitates the deployment of servers, the configuration of cluster, proxies, keepalive service and also the planning of backups. It is the little brother of Oracle Enterprise Manager software that I did used before for oracle databases > > **Cons**: I have no cons on the technical side. I find only the price per node a little high, it should be great to have a better price for qualification and development servers ans also standalone ones. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/88064/clustercontrol?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/88064/clustercontrol) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
