Helps reduce costs and enables the creation of new non-production databases
We use the solution on our non-production database. We use it to spin up non-production environments using Oracle The product helps to create new non-production databases. The solution helps reduce costs. The product must provide AI features. Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version…

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.
AmarpreetSingh - PeerSpot reviewer
Optimal data security and management achieved with smooth deployment and strong support
I plan to expand the number of users for Rubrik in the future. Currently, I have approximately 10 to 12 customers on Rubrik, as we are partners to Rubrik and a service provider, SIS. I am working with large to medium organizations, not small ones. Regarding Artificial Intelligence, Rubrik is in the initial phase, and I am expecting more from them. I can give them seven out of ten for their improvements in that area. I would recommend Rubrik to other organizations because it is easy to install, easy to manage, and very compact in terms of a solution, with good support from Rubrik. These features allow it to match from small scale to large scale customers very easily. The number of people who usually take part in maintenance from my side depends on the customer size. For large customers, we involve four to five people, but for small customers, one person is enough. I rate Rubrik eight out of ten.

Cons

"Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment."
"The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle."
"Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself."
"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version of the tool."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"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."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"GUI could be improved."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"Rubrik needs to continue to listen to their customers and what they want/need, not just care about money and the bottom line."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"I would like to see the entire Office 365 product suite backed up by Rubrik. For instance, they do SharePoint and Exchange online, but they don't back up Microsoft Teams. So, I would like to see more of the Office 365 suite added into their backup capabilities."
"The Office 365 protection could be improved."
"The reporting, in particular the customization of reports, needs to be improved."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Actifio is cheaper than other tools."
"Pricing is on a case by case basis."
"Support is very good. They send out a VM link and help you fix any issues."
"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."
"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."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"Rubrik's competitive pricing and strong return on investment make it a compelling choice, especially compared to alternatives like Data Domain and Avamar. Commvault was considered but deemed too expensive."
"There are additional costs for add-ons, and they recently upgraded a new cluster, which also carries a price."
"Rubrik was probably the most expensive solution but in the long run, it's justified by the value of the data that it protects."
"We are on an annual license to use Rubrik and it is priced well."
"The cost was less than our previous provider, and this is a much better product."
"The pricing has been quite good from our perspective, in terms of being able to negotiate with the Rubrik team to get the product that we want and be able to sell that out to our end customers."
"Rubrik is quite expensive for small businesses."
"I don't remember the cost, but I know that for Veeam, we were spending almost $250,000 a year for 205 licenses. It was an enterprise version. When we purchased Rubrik, it was just a little bit more. It was not a terribly huge amount, and if I recall, that was for three years of support as well. So, Veeam priced itself out of the market at a certain point in time."
