"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA.""Delphix's data distribution is powerful. It's easy to distribute data with this solution.

"What I like about IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its integration, plus it has very good technical support.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration with Oracle.""We used to use the solution with tapes a few years ago. We've switched to discs, and it has gotten much faster.""The tool has enough documentation; you don't need to contact the support team.""The most valuable feature is the ease of use.""With this product, we now have a reliable backup solution.""This is a multi-platform backup solution where you can take a backup from AIX, Windows, or Linux servers and restore from CD, disk, or tape.""The API is very good."

Cons
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms.""Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling.""The solution's price needs improvement.""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.""GUI could be improved.""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.""My only complaint about this solution is the price.""The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."

More Delphix Cons →

"I would like integration into where the VMware guys can do their own restores.""The tool needs to increase the number of threats.""It still needs to grow and add new features. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, I believe, requires time to become competitive due to a weakness in the other software products.""The solution only supports HyperV and VMware but doesn't support Nutanix.""I think the graphical reports are a shortcoming of the tool since it fails to provide my company with what we want in terms of reporting. Due to the product's inability to take care of its reporting part, we have to use third-party software.""Not particularly user friendly.""IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve the IBM Spectrum Protect environment. It can be difficult to administer. The initial configuration can be difficult for entry-level teams or deployment teams, and it might be difficult to integrate. There's just too much content involved in the solution. The documentation is way too large.""IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."
