"The cataloging is the best feature. It takes millions of frames for the backup. It's incremental, so it takes less time to complete.""In terms of stability, I've found it to be very stable. I've walked into the server room when it was at 60 degrees Celcius, and it was still running fine.""The command-line interface is good.""Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution.

Cons
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option.""Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities.""This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution.""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.""Delphix is quite expensive.""GUI could be improved.""As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms.""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 →

"I would like the possibility to back up the infrastructure and then replicate it upon on restart, without having to orchestrate the starting of the VM.""The backup for a large amount of data is slow.""IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly.""The configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage.""Setting up the system to work with legacy equipment is a bit complex at times."
