Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is easy to use, flexible and has a lot of out-of-the-box functionality. You can configure the dashboards or you can use a script. However, to fully utilize its capabilities you will want to use a lot of scripts which you will need advanced training. The reports can be customized for many things, such as chargeback billing.""The reporting feature and the Dell's continuous improvement of the solution are the most valuable features. The solution not only supports Dell Power Products but also other products.""The platform's most valuable features are data protection and retention.""It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing.""The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement.""I can increase the tool's licensing as per my requirement with no conditions applied.""The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process.""This is a stable solution."

"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA.""It's really easy to install.""Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that.""The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning.""Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable.""The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data.""Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly.""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."

Cons
"The solution requires more integration with our other solutions. I know that they have full integration with VMware because it is also from EMC. However, we have to have better integration with Microsoft and Nutanix as well.""They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release.""We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility.""Dell Data Protection Advisor's feature for data domain protection needs enhancement.""There is a steep learning curve to use the interface and to create new reports, this could be made easier. If the solution could provide more drag and drop functionality to build more advanced reports that would be very helpful.""The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users.""The functionality of the Data Protection Advisor is limited and is something that is lacking in this solution. Other solutions like CloudIQ and DDMC provide a much better outlook on how data protection should be done.""Customization of reports or creating new reports can be difficult. Users need to have a deep knowledge of SQL. 70-80% of customers can't seem to understand how to do it. They don't know how to address reporting. If Dell EMC could simplify it, it would benefit the end-user."

More Dell Data Protection Advisor Cons →

"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option.""Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities.""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.""One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating.""The solution's price needs improvement.""The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's not very expensive — I think the price is fair."
  • "You have to procure the license when you are ordering or quoting for Dell Data Protection Suite (DPS). DPS is bundled with the suite and comes with a license. However, if you purchase NetWorker separately then you will have to procure the license for DPS separately."
  • "For pricing, I would rate Dell 2 out of 5. It's affordable."
  • "You need to make an upfront payment for three, five, or seven years and renew the licenses for support. We can do an annual maintenance contract with Dell. I would rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
  • "If the customer has huge lineup of Dell Products then they receive discount on the pricing."
  • "The product is affordable."
  • More Dell Data Protection Advisor Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
  • "Delphix's pricing is affordable."
  • "I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
  • "It is an expensive solution."
  • "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."
