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

"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."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cloning."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its ease of management, it is not complicated, it is very reliable, has good support and a lot of knowledge on the market for integrators."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The platform has a useful disaster recovery feature."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the new CDP features. It is very popular for my customer's needs."
"I like the backup and backup copy features."
"This is easy to use with a simple restore feature."
"The WAN accelerator feature has been the most valuable for me. That feature reduced the time needed to complete the task from 25 days to less than a week! This is compared with the original tools used: ntbackup, robocopy and Windows Server Backup."
 

Cons

"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"GUI could be improved."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"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."
"I think Veeam ONE should be included in the base product instead of as an add-on because customers tend to look for simple solutions that are integrated."
"When you have to renew the licenses you sometimes have some trouble getting rid of the old one and reassigning it to the new one. That's an aspect that could run smoother and could be better."
"The data duplication should be improved."
"The recovery and integration features of Veeam Backup Replication could improve. For example, all VM integration could improve, such as with Hyper-V and VMware."
"Since the solution has many options, it is not easier to give tasks to schedule it."
"One common customer complaint is that Veeam, not just Veeam ONE, has become increasingly complex over time. This means that it is now very feature-rich, which can be challenging for some users to navigate and understand. There is a need for more education on how to use the GUI and all of the available features. Even regular users of Veeam may struggle to utilize the new features, which makes it more challenging for backup administrators to manage their backups. The platform is not becoming simpler, but rather, it is becoming more complicated over time."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"It would be nice if it could be integrated with third-party solutions like ours. It has been supporting just Windows and virtual machines."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"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."
"Customers require a perpetual license for the product. However, along with the license, they must also subscribe to the support service for one year or three years under a separate contract."
"The price of the solution is high."
"The tool’s licensing is yearly and flexible. I would rate the solution’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"When it comes to pricing for a backup solution for data centers, you do not care about the price. We just care about the service and want it to be reliable. In terms of subscription, it really makes sense. When you want to use all the functionalities it is good that Veeam did the subscription-based model, this is what gives it the most strength on the price."
"When I did a tech refresh, we took out a subscription for the coming five years."
"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"This is an expensive solution and came at a higher cost than expected."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
