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.

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

"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"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 is a stable solution."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"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."
"It's really easy to install."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik is its concept of a 'backup airbag', which provides a robust defense against attacks."
"The main benefit is that we are secured in terms of workloads. We know that if we need to restore any VMs, or even any files inside a VM, that we will succeed 100 percent. This means that we don't need to spend much time administering the backup environment because we know it is self-healing and efficient. So, we are spending that time on something else, which is always a plus."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"Rubrik simplifies our data backup and recovery processes significantly. It's very straightforward to use. We start by tagging through VMware, and everything tagged for Rubrik is backed up automatically. Backups are much better and faster because Rubrik takes a full snapshot of the virtual machine. We recently conducted a verification by performing a restore, and even during the restore process, we could bring up the server in less than 10-15 minutes. Additionally, we have set up alerts for sensitive data, which helps us track data."
"The web-based approach is the most valuable feature."
"Its reporting is most valuable. I like how it reports that everything is successfully backed up. It provides a summarized report that I can give to auditors and management."
"The tech support is extremely helpful."
"We do like the instant recovery... Now, we say, "Okay, give me 15 seconds and I can get this back up for you." And within that 15 seconds it's on and the only thing that we have to do afterwards is vMotion it off of the Rubrik storage back to where it should rest."
 

Cons

"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"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."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"Its cost is high."
"Price-wise, Rubrik needs improvement as it is considered expensive compared to similar competitors."
"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."
"Rubrik needs to continue to listen to their customers and what they want/need, not just care about money and the bottom line."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"The licensing cost is quite high. That is something that needs to be worked out, because so many times it happens that the team does not have the budget or there are other issues at that time. Cost has become an important factor in deciding whether to continue with the Rubrik solution."
"I'd like to see a cloud backup service for smaller customer environments that may not support a physical or virtual appliance."
 

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 cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"It is an expensive solution."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"You need to understand what you're getting for the price. You are getting a backup solution, which is state of the art and works absolutely flawlessly. You are getting the storage needed to store your backups. You have all the sexy features that a modern backup solution can provide you, like deduplication, erasure coding, compression, fast execution time, secured data, and top-notch customer support. So, it might be expensive on paper. It's not free, but when you analyze what you are getting and the time you can spend on other stuff, then Rubrik is very cost-efficient."
"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."
"Rubrik is an all inclusive price. No additional implementation costs or licencing."
"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
"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."
"Rubrik is quite expensive for small businesses."
"Rubrik is priced high, but it was the solution that was providing us encryption and was secure. The solution price is high, but you get what you pay for."
"The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution."
