Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that.""The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases.""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.""It is a stable solution.""Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly.""Data being available anytime is a life changer.""Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable.""The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."

"Veeam Backup Replication is easy to use and has high performance. The backups are very fast. It's a complete solution that fulfills our current needs.""What I like most about this solution are the simplicity and the price-performance ratio.""The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V.""Veeam Backup & Replication is definitely very useful and simple to learn, and the restoring processes are very straightforward, making it a very solid product.""We have evaluated other solutions but Veeam is the best for virtualization.""Veeam Backup Replication is stable I have not had any problems.""The product allows us to use data more efficiently, reducing the cost of storage and backup time. It is vital to have data available in the shortest possible time.""One of the most valuable features is the incremental backup. It is, of course, perfect because you have a lot of restore points, but you don't need all the space. The stability is also perfect."

Cons
"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 self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly.""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.""The solution's price needs improvement.""Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling.""As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms.""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 →

"My biggest issue with Veeam at the moment is how the backup reports are displayed. We use the SolarWinds integration to generate consolidated reports for monitoring purposes, but we aren't getting all the available data shown to us in the way that we want.""My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss.""A backup and replication solution should be able to back up a system and do recovery very fast. Even though Veeam Backup & Replication is able to meet most of our needs, it would be better if they can make it faster for backup and restore.""It's hard to answer because managing cloud storage in our version could be better, but now that they have improved it in the recent version, I cannot say it's a better point because I know it should be already fixed.""There is some complexity we have experienced when using the solution that should be simplified.""There should be better use of the external hard drives.""Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having more comparably with other hardware with the immutable copy feature.""The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."

  • "Delphix's pricing is affordable."
  • "I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."

  • More Delphix Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If you have Exchange, Oracle, SQL, or a supported SAN, then I suggest getting at least an Enterprise edition. It’ll pay for itself in no time."
  • "The pricing and licensing is better than the competitors, but it could be better."
  • "Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing. The really good and useful features are in the Enterprise plus edition, and that one is really expensive."
  • "Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."
  • "The licensing is based on the number of cores you have in your ESX or Hyper-V environment."
  • "The price is a bit high. Licensing type is VMware friendly, so it is easy."
  • "I think the price is good when you choose the Essentials Suite, but when you buy a full featured version (for instance the Enterprise Plus) the price is a little bit expensive."
  • "Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Veeam Backup & Replication is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are its ease of set up, the fact that it is agentless, and that it has an intuitive dashboard. 

    A Network Operations Manager at an educational organization says, "Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."

    An Inside Solutions Architect at a tech services company mentions, “I like that it's agent-less, easy to set up, and hardware-agnostic.”

    An Account Manager at a tech services company states, “The dashboard is very, very easy to understand. We do demonstrations all the time with customers just to show them. If they've lost particular files because of a server going down, we can retrieve those files for them and quickly bring those files back up.”

    Kerem C., Director of Professional Services/Senior Solution Architect/Trainer at a tech services company, explains, “It's good for backup performance management and backup window management.”
