We performed a comparison between Delphix and NetApp SnapCenter 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."Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"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's really easy to install."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"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."
"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 creating virtual databases."
"We have been very satisfied with the technical support's help. Their knowledge level is great. For a noncritical question, they will get back to us within a day."
"Being able to add everything in as resource groups is a valuable feature... Having all the SQL servers put into specific buckets, based on their year of release - 2008, 2012, 2014 - allows us to get almost immediate backups that are easily seen and reported on."
"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 centralized GUI is the best feature, that there is only one webpage where we can see the states of all the backup jobs. We can see all the tasks that are running and we can quickly see if one fails; if they are running or have any issues. We have all that in one place."
"The most valuable feature is that it's centralized. In the old SnapManager days, we had software for each server. Now, with a centralized system, we're able to manage all systems remotely, and all agents remotely, and update them remotely. That's a huge benefit for us."
"Restoring and cloning are easy to do."
"It has greatly improved our DR activity."
"It's all together managing both storage and backup, which makes it easier for troubleshooting issues and the automation part of it"
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"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."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"GUI could be improved."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"There is one area that needs improvement and that's in the alerting. When you set up your SMTP alerts, it only has - and I don't understand why - the ability to send an anonymous SMTP. It doesn't do basic authentication, which frustrated me for a while until I figured out that I'm not missing something. It's just not there."
"I want to see a few more features add that will help our team in managing solution better."
"If it was possible to create backups on non-NetApp storage, that would be helpful."
"Since the solution's initial setup is complex, it should make training documents available in the public space."
"Some of the minor functionalities from SnapManager did not transfer over to SnapCenter. These should be added in future releases."
"It needs to support vSphere 6.7."
"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."
"My major issue is when I upgrade. I have to touch every last client that I have in SnapCenter, and right now I have 60... They said that in another release that will get better, but right now it's not better and I've had to do this three times."
