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."The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's really easy to install."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"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."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"The simplicity of backup and restore directly with VMware is an advantage and the time to backup and restore is reduced."
"The product’s most valuable feature is cloning."
"It's all together managing both storage and backup, which makes it easier for troubleshooting issues and the automation part of it"
"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 a centralized, easy-to-use solution empowering RBAC management, monitoring, notifications, extensive logging, and backup schedules for standalone as well as groups of the same types of environments. The cloning capabilities accelerate development."
"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."
"Most banks and financial institutions use the solution."
"GUI could be improved."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"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 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."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"It needs to support vSphere 6.7."
"When you have role-based access, for example, it's a bit of a problem that the person who creates the backup job is the owner of it. We are struggling a bit with this, that everyone has the same view and the same permissions in there."
"I have an issue with SnapCenter because sometimes a VM cannot be backed up... The way SnapCenter works is that it makes a backup of all the VMs and then it removes all the old backups. If one VM cannot be backed up for some reason, it has already created a new backup for all the VMs but it cannot remove the old backups. It ends up creating so many backups in VMware and it will cause a performance problem if the condition is not fixed."
"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."
"The product lags in terms of availability."
"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."
"Plugins should be developed in shorter times. Performance generally could be a little bit faster."
"I'm waiting for SnapCenter for hybrid solutions. Right now, we only have SnapManager for hybrid. I need agents for that. People are looking to install SnapCenter in a SQL environment, but where they're running SQL on Hyper-V and using virtual files. Currently, we don't have support for hybrid."
