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 solution's most valuable feature is data cloning."
"It's really easy to install."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"The solution’s ransomware recovery, from a security perspective, is one of the biggest features of the product. We don't have to worry about the operational complexity of air-gapped backups and can rely more on the immutability approach. It is a highly valued feature in this solution."
"A reduced infrastructure complexity and fast to rack and go."
"The ease of use and innovation are the features that stand out for us."
"Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production"
"Instant recovery of virtual machines allows for the restoration of services in minutes."
"The solution's technical support team is very responsive and proactive."
"The search functionality is second to none as the speed of the search is fast across the whole system and predictive."
"It has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize."
 

Cons

"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"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."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"GUI could be improved."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"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."
"I have a personal want which might not necessarily make sense with Rubrik as a company or Rubrik as a software, but it'd be really nice if they could also handle things like item-level backups and restores of Active Directory objects and DNS and DCP objects."
"With Windows, it is difficult to configure Oracle Database."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"The Office 365 protection could be improved."
"Improving PowerShell integration would greatly simplify Rubrik management."
"Rubrik could improve in customization options for dashboards."
"I would like to have a built-in index searching ability of files/system files within the Rubrik interface to determine if a file or item exists, rather than just recovering it, and then doing a search for the file afterwards."
"The integrated reporting is not really that nicely built. The reporting functionality could definitely be a little bit more customizable from an administration perspective, with an easier to understand interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"Rubrik is fairly priced."
"We pay annually for the license for Rubrik. There are no additional costs. Initially, we needed to set it up, negotiate and finalize the offer."
"Its price tends to go up with time. Its pricing definitely has room for improvement. If you negotiate right with them, you might get a good price. Support is a part of the package, and every three years, when we renew our contract, we get new hardware."
"Rubrik is a little bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
"There are additional costs for add-ons, and they recently upgraded a new cluster, which also carries a price."
"Rubrik is quite expensive for small businesses."
"Originally, we bought the units on perpetual licenses. Now, we have switched to Rubrik Go. I think the Rubrik Go subscription is a better model, where it is based on your onsite environment and you consume what you use."
