Find out what your peers are saying about Delphix, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Copy Data Management."I believe one of the advantages we saw was that the configuration was manageable."
"This solution is very helpful and easy to use."
"There are a lot of features that are excellent. The data compression during the transfer, for example, is good. The replication is great. The durability of the solution and the speed of the data moving from one site to another is impressive."
"The most valuable feature is the snap shot."
"The product has good performance."
"The technology enables us to have a safe backup."
"This solution is easy to implement and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the data replication tool. There is also a lot of ability for data migration."
"Data protection is a valuable feature."
"The user interface is very easy to manage. The replication is also very easy to set up."
"I would like to have the ability to bit the same system with multiple AppSync replications would definitely be beneficial to us. And general flexibility enhancements."
"It would be helpful if this product has features for transferring to the cloud."
"The user interface could be simplified. They might want to have fewer options on it, to make it less complicated. There are a lot of options we never use ourselves. They're often very specialized and don't apply to us."
"It is not as efficient as it needs to be. It doesn't compress the data really well when it is forwarded to a secondary site. The download performance could be better."
"Compression and deduplication could be improved."
"We have different families of storage, such as the E-Series and Flash systems, but NetApp cannot be set up between them."
"If they can make the application free like other vendors or include it in all the packages, it would be great."
"At the moment, we are not using the synchronous mirror, but we can implement the synchronous mirror. The only thing is that it needs another license. This is the same issue we have with business continuity. It needs another license to be implemented. You need too many separate licenses for the features. They should add some of the aspects of the premium bundle into the basic bundle. Sometimes our customers choose other replication services because of the initial cost of the licenses."
"We have to do manual verifications about the subscriptions often."
"The solution's dashboard and reporting could be improved."
