Cons
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution.""Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option.""My only complaint about this solution is the price.""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.""The solution's price needs improvement.""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 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."

More Delphix Cons →

"The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner.""The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted.""I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met."

    Reviews from Real Users

    PeerSpot user, Product Owner & Scrum master at a financial services firm, says that "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."

    Niaz Aziz, Projects Team Lead at Azeemi Technologies, states that Delphix “Has good scalability and works efficiently for data visualization”

    Another PeerSpot user, DevOps ERP Engineer at a tech services company, writes that Delphix has “Excellent working environment, with continuous updates and affordable pricing”

    SAS/ACCESS is an out-of-the-box solution for integrating SAS and third-party databases. You can read, write and update data regardless of the database or platform. Because the data appears native to SAS, there is no need to learn Structured Query Language (SQL) or any other database-specific query languages.
