Fast data recovery for large scale datasets
The Infiniguard (dedicated disc storage), offers a petabyte of storage space for on-site disc storage for backups. Because of this, we were able to get rid of our tapes. Essentially, it replaced our tape backups. We're definitely going to be buying another INFINIDAT array. We do have another location that is going to be needing a new array sometime soon, so we'll be buying another one. The beautiful thing about them is that you can set them up to replicate for disaster recovery between the two of them and set up some nice replication jobs, site to site, for automatic database replication.

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.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Essentially, it replaced our tape backups."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"It's really easy to install."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cloning."
"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."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"A reduced infrastructure complexity and fast to rack and go."
"Rubrik simplifies our data backup and recovery processes significantly. It's very straightforward to use. We start by tagging through VMware, and everything tagged for Rubrik is backed up automatically. Backups are much better and faster because Rubrik takes a full snapshot of the virtual machine. We recently conducted a verification by performing a restore, and even during the restore process, we could bring up the server in less than 10-15 minutes. Additionally, we have set up alerts for sensitive data, which helps us track data."
"Mounting recent backups to create new servers rather than cloning servers in VMware drastically cut down required time."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production"
"Replaces legacy tapes and disk backups which are unreliable, expensive and space consuming."
"Rubrik has automation capabilities that help streamline my workflows."
"It has a ​single pane of glass interface."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"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 is quite expensive."
"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."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"The reporting feature should be improved. I need a better output from the existing reports as they currently do not provide comprehensive metrics."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them."
"We have some challenges with the solution's reporting because historical reports have some limitations."
"It is a lot more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"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."
"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I need to create reports to know whether something is available or not, how much frontend data is being protected, etc. Rubrik gives a lot of things in the report, which can be confusing. It isn't very easy to get reports. It shows all the backup, index, replication, and everything else in one report. So, I have to export, filter, and then do the calculations."
"I would like to see more information on encryption with the next release."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It is an expensive product."
"Rubrik is fairly priced."
"Due to this effective, faster backup and recovery solution, we are now able to focus on other creative tasks to meet our entire pipeline. So, we have seen ROI in terms of the improvement of productivity in our team. We save around one million dollars a year."
"There is a license requirement for the solution. If you expand or if the maintenance period expires, there's a license renewal as well."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"The initial setup cost includes support and maintenance costs, followed by a monthly fee."
