Amit-Rastogi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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'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."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"Most of the features that we can use with HPE products are directly integrated with the Veeam. This is very important for the customers to have only one pane of glass to manage the backups and also use the HPE products for the backups."
"It is a global major solution for quite a lot of people."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"I can't think of any improvements yet for Veeam because they are very good. It integrates very well with Microsoft applications. It is very easy to integrate. Micro Focus can also integrate but it's more complex. You have to know the product very well to be able to integrate. While Veeam, it's very user-friendly. You don't need to have certifications or anything to work on Veeam."
"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use and the interface is very configurable for the users. It's a very familiar solution in Algeria."
"The most valuable aspects are the latest features in version 12.1, which introduced enhanced security features."
"It has helped us to protect our IP address and critical information."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
 

Cons

"GUI could be improved."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"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."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say they could add automations for disaster migrations and for reverse replication. Overall, they need more automation."
"I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach."
"I would like to see more broad support for other applications such as databases, or other operating systems."
"During the initial setup especially, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"The endpoint protection console is not centralized."
"I prefer a software backup solution that allows me to easily define my origin data, including data files, folders, and virtual machines."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"I would like the solution to have better integration with other hypervisors and cloud features that are not exclusive to VMware."
 

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."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"The price is reasonable."
"Veeam Backup Replication can be quite expensive for Office 365 because its license is per user and not for the space that you use. You need one license for each user. If the user only uses a few files on one hard drive, you need a license to back up these files. It was better to have a license model, such as in the Cohesity solution. Cohesity has a license for a space that you use. It's more useful in this case because the license for backup data is on-premises is for CPU. The license is based on how many CPUs you have but it does not depend on how many users use the CPU."
"A nice aspect of Veeam's pricing is that the cost benefit is good. It's very economical."
"We have a yearly perpetual license."
"Compared to other enterprise solutions, Veeam Backup & Replication generally offers a competitive price point. However, there has been a noticeable and concerning increase in pricing, particularly in the year 2023. The rate of price hikes has been significant, with prices escalating three times during the first quarter of the year. This trend indicates a substantial shift in the pricing structure, which may have implications for customers and their budgeting considerations."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication could be reduced. The customers are looking at other products because the price is higher than some of the competition."
"The solution's pricing is cheap."
"The product is expensive."

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…
