"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 needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling.""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.""One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating.""My only complaint about this solution is the price.""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."

    The Intelligent Data Lake enables raw big data to be systematically transformed into fit-for-purpose data sets for a variety of data consumers. Data scientists and analysts can quickly find the data they’re looking for using semantic and faceted search. They can see data profiles, lineage, and other relationships to know whether they can trust the data and whether it’s fit-for-use in their analytic projects.
