We performed a comparison between Delphix and Oracle Data Guard based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Data Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"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."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"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."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"It's really easy to install."
"The most valuable features are the backup and restore. With this in place along with the clustering, the database is safe from hacking, hardware failure, power failures, and system crashes."
"Backup and application continuity are most valuable."
"Oracle Data Guard has a nice feature called the DataGuard snapshot to open the solution in the read-write mode and make some changes to the database."
"Oracle Data Guard is scalable. I rate it a ten out of ten."
"We have not encountered any major challenges with replication. We were able to achieve near-real-time replication. Also, with the switchover failover, we were not getting any technical issues. It's a pretty stable product."
"It is a top-notch product, super stable, making it our go-to for internal operations."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any bugs, glitches, or crashes. We find it to be quite reliable."
"Technical support is very good. If at any time we write a ticket, we get the appropriate answer on time."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"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."
"There is an issue with their application on ODG. There were a lot of edits in the logs. Sometimes, we only get a little cue from the Data Guard Broker logs if there's an issue."
"I think it would be great to have a graphical interface assistant (like DBCA, ASMCA, NETCA, etc.) for initial configuration, monitoring, configuring Oracle Data Guard Broker and all the Data Guard Broker commands, without needing Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control installed."
"A significant improvement for Oracle Data Guard would be enabling the disaster recovery site to handle read and write operations, not just data storage."
"The pricing of the solution is quite high. They should do what they can to bring it down so that it is more reasonable for customers like us."
"Oracle could be improved by the ability to manage it on the cloud. This on-premises version is secure and reliable, but I'm sure that they will soon provide a cloud solution that will be even better. In one to two years, we will probably move to the cloud—we have already moved to the cloud with Microsoft Exchange, but our databases are still on-premises. I would prefer managing a cloud version of Oracle."
"One thing that can be improved is the GUI. It would be good to have a very nice GUI to easily configure and administer, providing different presentations to the database administrator. The feature that can be included is the integration with third-party monitoring systems, that is, monitoring systems from other vendors, not only from Oracle."
"Oracle Data Guard is stable, but you need to keep monitoring the system all the time. You need to keep monitoring the archives."
"The usage of block storage devices in the cloud or migration of a type of storage from one site to another site can be improved. Currently, we have to use multi-node to single node because of the lack of storage support on the Azure side. It did not really work. Our DBA had to spend a lot of time tweaking the Data Guard tools, or the underlying Oracle VMs, to make sure that Data Guard would run on top of different types of storage. So, if it can support transporting or getting from one type of storage to another type of storage in a different site or a different technology, it would be very helpful."
Delphix is ranked 1st in Test Data Management with 15 reviews while Oracle Data Guard is ranked 10th in Backup and Recovery with 31 reviews. Delphix is rated 8.0, while Oracle Data Guard is rated 8.4. The top reviewer of Delphix writes "Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Oracle Data Guard writes "Ensures high availability, disaster recovery, and data protection for Oracle databases through features like real-time data synchronization, automatic failover and zero data loss". Delphix is most compared with Informatica Test Data Management (TDM), Denodo, Broadcom Test Data Manager, IBM InfoSphere Optim Test Data Management (TDM) and Actifio, whereas Oracle Data Guard is most compared with Veeam Backup & Replication, Zerto, Veritas NetBackup, Commvault Cloud and Dell NetWorker.
