Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes 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.""Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that.""Data being available anytime is a life changer.""It's really easy to install.""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.""It is a stable solution.""It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."

More Delphix Pros →

"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any bugs, glitches, or crashes. We find it to be quite reliable.""With Data Guard, Oracle guarantees zero data loss, providing peace of mind for organizations relying on their data for critical operations.""The most important feature is that if I want to test the database at the disaster recovery site, I can take a snapshot, test it, and then revert it back to the original state without needing to restore the complete database from the primary data center to the disaster recovery.""Technical support is very good. If at any time we write a ticket, we get the appropriate answer on time.""The most valuable aspect for me is undoubtedly the failover capability and the assurance of data safety provided by Oracle Data Guard.""Snapshot and Data Guard Manager are awesome features.""We use Data Guard for online replication from data center, to data center for high availability. This is the most important feature.""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."

Cons
"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 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.""The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly.""Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling.""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.""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."

More Delphix Cons →

"For every standby server you have, you must pay a licensing fee, which is the main disadvantage.""The predominant issue lies in the communication link between the secondary and primary databases.""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.""It is a rather complex solution, so it could be more user-friendly.""One thing that can be improved is the GUI. It would be good to have a very nice GUI to easily configure and administer, providing different presentations to the database administrator. The feature that can be included is the integration with third-party monitoring systems, that is, monitoring systems from other vendors, not only from Oracle.""When the data replicates into the standby database there is a possibility of having a microsecond amount of data loss. The data loss occurs when there is a network disconnection between the primary and secondary standby database located in the data centers or if there is a crash in the primary database.""Overall, there are some operational issues that need to be dealt with.""A significant improvement for Oracle Data Guard would be enabling the disaster recovery site to handle read and write operations, not just data storage."
