"Straightforward and Effective with Superb Documentation"

5/5

What do you like best about ClusterControl?

It really does what it's supposed to. The interface is very straightforward, and both the documentation and help resources are superb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClusterControl?

The main drawback is straightforward: Several Nines charges based on the number of managed nodes. Everything counts as a node, except for a GarbD server and the cluster control web interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClusterControl solving and how is that benefiting you?

If I had attempted to build a Galera cluster manually, it likely would have taken me around six months just to get the system operational. After that, I would have needed another six months to research potential issues, learn how to identify them, and figure out how to resolve them.

Cluster Control significantly simplified the setup process. Rather than spending nearly a year on implementation, I was able to get the database cluster running in just over six months. While the web interface doesn't eliminate the need to understand the system's inner workings or how to respond to failures, it does make managing, troubleshooting, and expanding the cluster much more straightforward.

Finally, the pre-sales and post-sales assistance was significant in helping me avoid some pitfalls I was not personally aware of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

"Cluster Control is a great clustering solution!"

5/5

What do you like best about ClusterControl?

Easy to use and reliable.

We had some issues with backups not working correctly, but we could resolve the problems with support.

"Simply Deploy, Monitor, Backup"

5/5

What do you like best about ClusterControl?

Cluster Control configures and deploys new nodes for replication quickly and reliably. Its automated cluster- and node recovery features have been invaluable to our service reliability. Configuring backups is easy enough for a toddler and the ability to automatically restore & verify backups after creation gives us peace of mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClusterControl?

While CC provides sane defaults, changing certain settings isn't possible via the web ui. In general, the web-ui is dated and a bit messy. Good news though: There is now a preview for their new UI which looks to be a treat! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClusterControl solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a very small company serving an increasing number of bigger businesses. Expectations for the product are very high, and our resources are constrained. Using Cluster Control helps us be responsible with our Database and its contents without adding complexity. Since Several Nines offers flexible hosting, we have also been able to host CC in our security boundary, reducing the risks and minutiae of adding another subprocessor.

"the best database cluster-management software"

5/5

What do you like best about ClusterControl?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClusterControl?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ClusterControl:

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClusterControl 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
