"It has very fast backup and can handle a huge amount of data. It also enables really fast recovery.""It allows us to easily take a Snapshot and use it with any backup tools. We can also take Snapshots on the application side. We can also take Snapshots on the application side. If we want to restore an SAP or an Oracle machine, a normal Snapshot won't do it, but we can do so with SnapCenter.""Most banks and financial institutions use the solution.""The way that it interconnects with VMware is really handy, because you can go right into your vSphere client, where you spend a lot of the day anyway, right-click on one of the VMs where you have backups running for however long, and you can restore either some files or restore the entire thing.""The backup process finishes very quickly.""It's very helpful because SnapCenter is already integrated with VMware Snapshot, so it's very easy to use.""The Exchange plugin is the most valuable because we have a lot of customers that use SnapManager Exchange and have to migrate to SnapCenter.""It's all together managing both storage and backup, which makes it easier for troubleshooting issues and the automation part of it"

Cons
"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.""Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities.""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.""Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option.""The solution's price needs improvement.""This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution.""My only complaint about this solution is the price."

More Delphix Cons →

"We tend to have a lot of Hyper-V... so now we have two management consoles and we would ideally like to leverage SnapCenter to include Hyper-V.""The compatibility with other manufacturers, like Oracle and Hyper-V, could be improved. I would like to see it be more compatible with other software.""The documentation could be a little bit better so that we could handle more of the troubleshooting ourselves, rather than having to go through support.""Plugins should be developed in shorter times. Performance generally could be a little bit faster.""I want to see a few more features add that will help our team in managing solution better.""The replication feature needs improvement in future releases.""What I did witness lately are issues with some Microsoft KBs, the updates. But it happened only once, and not on a major platform, it was on a small one.""I feel a little bit that during the whole process of putting this software into production we were like a beta program. It was full of bugs... For example, we had a problem with truncating our Exchange log files... It has improved over time."
