"Mostly very positive."
4/5
What do you like best about ClusterControl?

The ability to click a button and build a cluster to our specs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClusterControl?

That it modifies our my.cnf file. They should create a separate config file for their changes. Poor control of email alerts (which S9S says they are already working on). That the backup function only supports streaming to a tar file. Need it to do normal xtrabackup directory backups, which are much faster. tar is unmanageable with multi-terrabyte databases. Plus xtrabackup creates info files that we don't have access to in the tar file. CC creating local repositories when we want it to use our locally created repositories. This means we have to install the database software manually then add the node to the cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"If the cost is not an important point, this tool is a must for DDBB Admins"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ClusterControl?

This tool provides an easy way to deploy into your servers (no other prerequisites needed, just an operative system installed and updated) several kinds of database clusters. The main valuable points are: - one-click installations (it's 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 options within the DB backup process - A tool to control, monitor, manage (all in one DB) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClusterControl?

At this moment, the tool offers a community version, totally free but with restrictions to use several useful options. On the other hand, the subscription versions are expensive if we take into account that we must have the servers, I mean, SeveralNines only provides the tool (including support and updates) nothing else. And the payment is yearly. The quotation is personalized by customer, in my case: - 2500€ + taxes per node yearly. So, if we need a 5 nodes DB cluster --> 12,500€ + taxes + server costs.
