Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA.""The most valuable aspect is the product is easy to manage, with a good dashboard. We can easily configure it on the front end and back end.""The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases.""The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning.""Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that.""It is a stable solution.""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 really easy to install."

More Delphix Pros →

"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside.""The ability to backup both physical and virtual machines, along with having an appliance store the backups locally instead of on a file server, NAS, or SAN.""Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration.""Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately.""Iinstant recovery (allows a spin-up of your image as a VM on the appliance).""If you are a large organization, this is a product for you.""When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one.""The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof."

Cons
"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.""The solution's price needs improvement.""Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling.""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.""One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating.""GUI could be improved.""This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."

More Delphix Cons →

"There are a few quirks where the GUI, agent, and back-end are not precisely meshed.""The solution's base operating system needs to be improved.""There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable.""The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs.""The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved.""Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution.""Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find.""I would like to see more storage options for the free version."
