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.
CarlosCastells - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to do backup, easy to deploy and scalable
I have experience with different solutions like Oracle, Veeam, andCommvault Cloud. Right now, we are testing a solution for Kubernetes. We are trying to replace it, so we just don't know yet. I don't really know if Rubrik is a good solution for this. We are testing Velero (Open Source) or Kasten K10, and I don't know Rubrik's view for this type of technology.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"The most valuable aspect is the product is easy to manage, with a good dashboard. We can easily configure it on the front end and back end."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"It is a stable solution."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"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."
"We have a great success rate for backups with Rubrik and because of the ease of automating tasks, we also run periodical restores to check the quality of the backups."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"The file search feature across all backups has been helpful."
"Rubrik is cheap, and you get good performance."
"Replaces legacy tapes and disk backups which are unreliable, expensive and space consuming."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"Product support team is excellent, with issues typically being resolved on the same day."
 

Cons

"Delphix is quite expensive."
"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."
"GUI could be improved."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"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."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"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."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"The web interface could benefit from some improvement, particularly in terms of alerting and dashboard clarity. The cloud web interface is somewhat confusing and could use more development attention. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that local on-premise management options remain available alongside cloud-based solutions, as internet availability can affect backup management. Regarding features, cross-hypervisor restore functionality would be a valuable addition, allowing for greater flexibility in restoring VMs across different environments."
"The Office 365 protection could be improved."
"I would like to see more information on encryption with the next release."
"The deployment and configuration of the backup service is something that could be streamlined a little bit, particularly when you're trying to do a SQL workload. You have to install a backup service on the server. You only have to do it once and then you're done, but you have to do that on every server that you want to protect."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"If there was something that we could get Rubrik to fix, it would be when our DBS takes snapshots of a server or the database, the replication doesn't kick off fast enough. They can't remote it to the peer site and manipulate it back up in order to move it over, take a copy of production, slap it over, and test it out. As I understand, they are working on it. Replication works. We also get spoiled by how good things are now. We get to a point where it is so easy but when something isn't instant gratification, it seems that everything else is so amazing, why isn't this right?"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"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."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution."
"There is just one cost, and it includes software and hardware. So, everything is included. It is better than other solutions in terms of cost. We also have Dell EMC Avamar in our environment, and we have to pay for the hardware and data domain. We also have to pay for the software license for the data protection suite. So, based on my calculations, I find Rubrik cheaper, and we are also getting good performance."
"When we compared the overall costs, Rubrik was cheaper because the engineering and operational side required FAR LESS dedication. So, all in all, they actually were cheaper than the competition."
"The pricing has been quite good from our perspective, in terms of being able to negotiate with the Rubrik team to get the product that we want and be able to sell that out to our end customers."
"We do perpetual licensing... It was all based on the amount of storage we needed to use. We did a cost analysis compared to Tivoli and it was in line with other solutions."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"Rubrik's competitive pricing and strong return on investment make it a compelling choice, especially compared to alternatives like Data Domain and Avamar. Commvault was considered but deemed too expensive."
"The pricing and licensing of Rubrik is better than products that we've had in the past. It was quite a bit cheaper than Commvault and NetBackup."
"The cost was less than our previous provider, and this is a much better product."
