"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"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 performance offered by the product, its price, and its ability to handle structured and unstructured data were good when compared to the other products in the market."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"It provides our customers with the comfort of having reliable enterprise data protection."
"The solution can back up every kind of workload in the environment."
"The most valuable features are the stability and also how it's seamlessly integrated with other IBM offerings."
"IBM support is friendly, knowledgeable, and they always respond quickly. They've always been able to find the cause of my problem."
"It is a very good and mature enterprise product. Once it is set up and everything is put in, you don't have to manage it. It actually runs automatically by itself."
"The best part of this solution is that it just works."
"They have recently added support tickets specifically engineered around performance. This has been very useful for us when we run into issues where customers are looking to try to squeeze a lot more horsepower out of older system."
"Its flexibility is valuable. It is a very flexible solution. There are always more ways than one to do something. It is a software solution, which means you can buy your own hardware and expand it whenever you want. You are not boxed in or locked into something you've bought and outgrown. You can always expand it."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"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."
"GUI could be improved."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"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."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"We would like to see cloud integration."
"I need two separate solutions for virtual and physical systems. I need IBM Spectrum Protect Plus for virtual systems and Spectrum Protect for physical systems and that's a pain. It would be an improvement if they were combined."
"It needs BMR (bare machine recovery) solutions for both Windows and Linux systems."
"The deduplication must be perfect, and thus should be improved."
"The user interface (UI) for the admin is still not good. It is way too complicated to manage the product, as we still need to use command line. IBM launched the Operations Center (OC), but there are still functions lacking, especially since we cannot manage all our scheduled tasks by using the GUI."
"Anytime you are not very current and call in with an issue, it is hard to get it resolved. It will depend on how far back you go though."
"It seems like they are a little behind on the integration to Azure Cloud as well as Amazon."
"I would like a little more ease with the virtual platforms, because it is a huge thing that is coming up."
