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.

Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu
We use Veeam Data to back up our VMware infrastructure Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance. The support team provides answers whenever we need them. It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with. The…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is a stable solution."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cloning."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"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."
"Delphix's data distribution is powerful. It's easy to distribute data with this solution. The main advantage of Delphix is that it generates copies of data."
"Veeam replication gives migration tools/options for VMware."
"Storage Snapshot is a good feature and very safe."
"Veeam ONE has proven to be a reliable tool not just for backups but also for general hypervisor management."
"Veeam's file monitoring capabilities are strong and consistent."
"Its backup capabilities in general are great."
"It most valuable features are seeding and faster backups over small links."
"Continuous Data Protection is a game-changing technology."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
 

Cons

"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."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"GUI could be improved."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"All our customers would like a cheaper license and more flexible deployment."
"The tech support needs improvement."
"Veeam Backup is not enhanced. There aren't any enhancements yet and they are still using traditional methods for snapshots and to perform the backup, like many other vendors. Another improvement would be simplifying and integrating their software."
"They need to address the confusing recovery dialogue."
"When you have some small issues, you should be able to go through it by yourself and solve the issue instead of opening the ticket and waiting for the engineers to troubleshoot."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach."
"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price seven to eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is the low price, and ten is the high price."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"The licensing fee depends on the licensing model we choose."
"I acknowledge there are concerns about pricing, specifically in gaining more customers for VM. We've encountered difficulties in convincing them due to pricing issues. So, I rate it a six."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing. The really good and useful features are in the Enterprise plus edition, and that one is really expensive."
"The licenses are code-based or server-based for Veeam ONE. The last version is 12, and it is host-based, I don't like to move to a code-based solution."
"Veeam Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads."
"It is more expensive than other solutions."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price is a bit expensive but it depends on the environment that you have on how much it will cost."
