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 product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"It's really easy to install."
"It is a stable solution."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"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's very helpful because SnapCenter is already integrated with VMware Snapshot, so it's very easy to use."
"The central pane view is the most valuable feature. You have one console where you can monitor all your jobs, as opposed to going to different vCenters."
"The backup process finishes very quickly."
"It's all together managing both storage and backup, which makes it easier for troubleshooting issues and the automation part of it"
"The reporting feature has been particularly beneficial to upper management... When you do manual backups, you do not get the benefit of seeing successes and failures and how often you have to do restores. With SnapCenter, you get all of that."
"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."
"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."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"Groups might be helpful for each site or data center so that we know a given data center has these resources while another data center has those resources. It's not always easy to group hosts by type."
"If it was possible to create backups on non-NetApp storage, that would be helpful."
"The Dashboard view needs to be more compressed with better ease of access and drill-down features. They should also reinstate Linux filesystem backups of storage volumes (which existed in the prior version)."
"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."
"It needs to support vSphere 6.7."
"The UI, the User Interface, needs to be improved. It's not as clean or modern as it could be."
"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."
