We performed a comparison between Delphix and Zerto based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Data Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"Delphix's data distribution is powerful. It's easy to distribute data with this solution. The main advantage of Delphix is that it generates copies of data."
"The most valuable aspect is the product is easy to manage, with a good dashboard. We can easily configure it on the front end and back end."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"We can spin up our environment in DR without affecting production, which is probably the biggest feature for us. We have the ability to do passive testing. We can even test scenarios, such as installing software or changing software. We can make modifications without affecting our production environment. So, the test functionality of being able to test the failover solution and being able to bring up our virtual machines in a test mode is the biggest benefit."
"Zerto is low maintenance, so I can set it and forget it. It has a great process and an excellent solution."
"The continuation to the public cloud has been especially helpful where I can pretty much work with things like hosts and clusters as part of the data center."
"The instant recovery at DR locations is the most valuable feature. We're required to do periodic DR tests of critical databases, including Oracle and Microsoft SQL. We have recovery point objectives set for specific databases and we need to be able to achieve them. Zerto helps solve that business problem."
"Its user interface is excellent, and when it comes to data duplication, Zerto is very fast."
"Journaling is by far the most valuable feature. We have used it several times for customers who have gotten ransomware and had to do a rollback. Having the right time period was important. Some of them had their backups encrypted. So, they didn't encrypt the Zerto machine seven days previously, and we were able to bring that back up."
"I've been fortunate enough not to need to rely on Zerto in an actual disaster, but we do testing every year. Sometimes, it's multiple times annually or at the year's end. It takes the recovery workflow, which would normally take a lot of planning, and reduces that to just a few minutes."
"Zerto is intuitive. We could set everything up in the environment within a day and a half and start migrating on the third day."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"GUI could be improved."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"Delphix is a strong solution for virtualization, but it's not strong enough for creating data, so we have to use another solution for creating new data."
"Some of the ability to automate selections and automate VPG creations could be better."
"There are certain things about the user interface that could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"Maybe the reporting for the failover test could be a little better."
"In general, the solution is pretty good, but because it is geared toward simplicity, sometimes, when things go wrong, the answer is not very detailed so that things can be solved quickly. If things do go wrong, it does require a little bit deeper troubleshooting to resolve the issues. That's the only area where improvement could occur. There should be a little bit more details about if things go wrong, how to remedy them."
"Some of the integrations with our internal tools, in particular, company-specific ones, do not work. In cases like this, we have to ask for additional support."
"This solution could be improved by being more cloud agnostic."
"The problem with the backup product is that it's not very mature and you really need a specific use case to be able to use it effectively. It's hard to explain to our customers, especially our large customers, that the use case is so limited."
"Its initial setup can be better. It looks easy, but if you do not have things in the right place, it is not as easy as it looks. Some of the instructions were not clear. They were a little bit confusing. For example, while setting up SSH initially, it was a little bit unclear if I needed to use a regular credential or some other credential. This was one of the things that was a little fuzzy, and we had to get somebody else involved to help us out."
