We performed a comparison between Delphix and Oracle Data Guard 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 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's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"It is a stable solution."
"If you have a problem with your primary site and can't access your primary database, you can continue working with the database that you have as standby on the other site, by changing its role to primary."
"Data Guard also improved because customers with an active Data Guard license want to reduce the I/O in a production environment. Some application complaints to it for Oracle reporting purposes. It has a production environment that needs to be enhanced."
"It is a top-notch product, super stable, making it our go-to for internal operations."
"The solution has been stable so far."
"The most valuable feature is the flashback standby, which allows us to test without scrapping the database."
"The most valuable features are the backup and restore. With this in place along with the clustering, the database is safe from hacking, hardware failure, power failures, and system crashes."
"We chose this solution for the availability of the databases. We can't afford Oracle Grid, this is the best solution if you want something similar that's less expensive."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any bugs, glitches, or crashes. We find it to be quite reliable."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"When it comes to unstructured and structured data, if Delphix can comply with the requirements for most of the structured data, it would be good, especially if it can include the data scanning part."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"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."
"There is an issue with their application on ODG. There were a lot of edits in the logs. Sometimes, we only get a little cue from the Data Guard Broker logs if there's an issue."
"We would like to be able to see the date time stamp when you execute DGMGRL commands."
"Overall, there are some operational issues that need to be dealt with."
"The product could improve its pricing."
"I think it would be great to have a graphical interface assistant (like DBCA, ASMCA, NETCA, etc.) for initial configuration, monitoring, configuring Oracle Data Guard Broker and all the Data Guard Broker commands, without needing Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control installed."
"The usage of block storage devices in the cloud or migration of a type of storage from one site to another site can be improved. Currently, we have to use multi-node to single node because of the lack of storage support on the Azure side. It did not really work. Our DBA had to spend a lot of time tweaking the Data Guard tools, or the underlying Oracle VMs, to make sure that Data Guard would run on top of different types of storage. So, if it can support transporting or getting from one type of storage to another type of storage in a different site or a different technology, it would be very helpful."
"Sometimes, the technical support team takes time to respond."
"Oracle Data Guard is stable, but you need to keep monitoring the system all the time. You need to keep monitoring the archives."
