Helps reduce costs and enables the creation of new non-production databases
We use the solution on our non-production database. We use it to spin up non-production environments using Oracle The product helps to create new non-production databases. The solution helps reduce costs. The product must provide AI features. Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version…

Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly
My advice depends on an organization’s needs. If an organization has a large volume of data, Delphix is a good choice. It is robust and very efficient with large volumes of data and different kinds of databases. If someone is looking for a one-stop solution with all features and capabilities, they must consider a different tool. Overall, I rate the product a six or seven out of ten.
