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

"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Veeam Data Platform manages and protects data across multiple cloud environments amazingly."
"The tool is good for VMware environments."
"A quick-working solution that is very user friendly."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Veeam Is very useful for most environments and can scale up in most environments - such as Amazon or Azure."
"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."
"The solution does a good job with VM backups."
"One of the newest features in version 12.1 is malware detection. This feature allows the software to detect malware before initiating a backup job for a server. Although I haven't had the opportunity to personally try it out due to its recent release, I came across it while working on an environment in a cluster for a customer."
 

Cons

"GUI could be improved."
"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 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."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline."
"The Veeam portal should be better integrated with all the parts of the new release. But there's always a workaround to replicate the new solution. I'd like to have better integration with other solutions like SAP."
"Even though the speed has improved over the years, I think that there are some instances where it still takes a while."
"There is a lot of information, so maybe the dashboards could consolidate it."
"Veeam needs to have more support for non-Windows systems and other databases. For example, I can do SQL with Veeam but not Informix or Oracle. This is unfortunate because we have many partners with Oracle systems and Informix databases, and Veeam does not yet have the agents we need for specific Oracle and UNIX operating systems."
"The support, reporting part and customization should all be improved."
"It would be better if the solution presented the number of servers and the success rate on the dashboard."
"The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved."
"There should be better use of the external hard drives."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"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 product is a little bit expensive."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions."
"Our licensing cost is $200 a year."
"It is relatively cheap."
"The cost should be adressed."
"The price is pretty cheap for our market."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Veeam is more reasonably priced than some competing products."
"We are fine with its pricing policy."

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…
