We performed a comparison between Delphix and IBM Spectrum Protect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Data Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"It 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."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"It's really easy to install."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"From a tech perspective, utilizing deduplication is one of the most valuable features."
"A robust tool which allows us to backup pretty much any environment, virtual or physical."
"by backing up only the changed data, we average around 75TB per night. If we had to do full backups, even occasionally, we would not be able to complete the backup within 12 hours, or we would have to make a large investment to fit a full backup within the 12 hour window."
"Traditional archiving. One of our revenue streams involves maintaining archives of our customers' data for very long periods of time."
"The most valuable feature for data recovery in IBM Spectrum Protect is its database protection capabilities."
"The tool proves invaluable in scenarios where systems need recovery, such as restoring damaged data."
"Because of the flexible parameters, everything can be fine-tuned to the customers’ needs in their environment."
"It is scalable beyond anything my customers ever aspire to."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"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 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."
"GUI could be improved."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"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."
"Their support is lacking. I've talked to their developers and stuff in the last couple of weeks and they reassure me that some people have retired, and they're working on getting that bumped back up. But the support lacks a lot to be desired at this point."
"Our customers would like to see metadata replication, tearing to tape, and more cloud capabilities."
"I find the solution somewhat difficult to use with virtual environments or VMware."
"We are having a balance issue between the reclamation and the backup function. It has to take the space back from the tapes before it can record to those tapes, but sometimes those two processes are overlapping."
"I am not really impressed with the Level 1 support, but once I get past that and go to Level 2, then we will usually get some type of resolution."
"I would like to see monitoring within the platform: monitoring for storage pools and monitoring for the server's health (e.g., CPU and memory)."
"The features should be a little bit closer together."
"It should have the ability to break down the data that's being backed up. It should have better reporting."
