Room For Improvement

Perforce Delphix seeks enhanced interface, storage, AWS integration, DevOps features, file handling, identity management, and pricing improvements.
Veeam Data Platform needs better integration, speed, support, flexibility, and affordability to meet user demands for large environments.
Focus mostly on Identity Access Management for Perforce, as the market is heading toward IAM, and it has become mandatory.
DevOps Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
The initial implementation learning curve could be improved, as it is challenging for newcomers to navigate.
Release Train Engineer at a tech vendor with 1-10 employees
One area where Perforce Delphix could be improved is the ability to handle thousands of files more efficiently.
Sr Engineer at Synopsys Inc
The improvement we would like to see is the option to scale Veeam Data up in smaller sections rather than large sections, which requires paying much more.
L3 Infrastructure Engineer at Specsavers
Reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.
Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future.
Applications section Head at Raya Integration
 

Setup Cost

Perforce Delphix pricing varies, perceived as expensive but potentially offering significant ROI, with negotiable discounts for larger data scales.
Veeam Data Platform offers reasonable pricing with predictable per-CPU socket licensing but can be costly for smaller businesses.
I felt the pricing was a little higher at that time, which is what I heard from my boss.
DevOps Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
I don't consider the price expensive given its importance.
Sr. Production Analyst at a logistics company with 1,001-5,000 employees
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Veeam Data Platform is more expensive than OpenStack because we pay for it in US dollars, while we pay for OpenStack in Egyptian pounds.

Automated data masking and provisioning has improved compliance and accelerated secure testing workflows across cloud environments
Some of the best features of Perforce Delphix include its automation of sensitive data discovery and masking with referential integrity for Aurora and RDS, as well as support for diverse data sources including Oracle, SQL, SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. Additionally, its GUI workflows simplify the creation and scheduling of masking jobs and enhance data governance in cloud hybrid and on-premises environments. Perforce Delphix can deliver up to 25 terabytes of data in just minutes, making it approximately 100 times faster for development and testing needs. Perforce Delphix has positively impacted my organization by saving us 70 to 80% of the time, which has enabled us to complete data sprints earlier, and it has also helped reduce costs. The time to complete one story point has decreased from 10 hours to around 4 or 5 hours, leading to substantial cost savings. Furthermore, it's effective in managing scaled agile enterprise data management, as we orchestrate and govern masking jobs across multiple teams and agile release trains to ensure data privacy standards are maintained.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection
Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.
