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

"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"It's really easy to install."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cloning."
"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."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"The setup was quite simple."
"In terms of most valuable features, we are mostly using the Cloud Connect feature. It is flexible because you can use it on-prem and on cloud."
"There are many valuable features, for example how Copy Job is controlling the band with accelerators. The Enterprise Manager is a valuable feature. There are many very useful features. We can push in the market, because we have an advantage over the other solutions."
"Veeam ONE is the best and the most mature solution for hypervisors and physical machines."
"The documentation is very good. It's also easy to install Veeam Backup and Replication."
"They introduced a new feature called the Immutable Repository feature, which helps protect environments from malware attacks that target backup file extensions."
"The most valuable aspects are the latest features in version 12.1, which introduced enhanced security features."
"The integration with some storage systems like HP or Nutanix and great support are the most valuable features. You get productivity support. You get a response within one hour, even in the evening or night. The functionality of the whole software is good."
 

Cons

"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"GUI could be improved."
"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."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"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."
"Offering mobile apps that give engineers a global view of his backup regime would be a "nice to have" feature."
"It is efficient but can improve security-wise."
"The documentation and communication could be better in Veeam Backup Replication."
"While the Veeam Backup Replication tool can mostly back up all the data in the environment, the AIX from IBM backup capabilities nowadays could stand improvement as they are not featured on a single pane of glass."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It could be simpler to use."
"If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."
"My biggest issue with Veeam at the moment is how the backup reports are displayed. We use the SolarWinds integration to generate consolidated reports for monitoring purposes, but we aren't getting all the available data shown to us in the way that we want."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"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."
"Veeam ONE is cheaper when you compare it with one of its competitors in the ops space, VMware vRealize Operations. There's a separate department that deals with the licensing, but my company is using CSP licensing, which is the service provider licensing, so my company doesn't fall under the normal volume at the Veeam Universal licensing program. The cost is commit-based and depends on what your point commit is. The point commit works differently, and it's similar to your sales provider license. If you commit to using one thousand five hundred points, you get a certain price. If you commit to using the eight hundred points scheme, you get a certain price. As you grow the point scheme, you get a different price range, so it doesn't matter whether you're using Veeam One, Veeam Availability Suite, Veeam Backup and Replication, Orchestrate, or whatever the product is."
"Veeam ONE is offered at a good price."
"The price is quite competitive compared to other products in my region."
"For what it does, the price is acceptable."
"I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment."
"The pricing of the solution could be reduced."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable."
