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.
CarlosCastells - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to do backup, easy to deploy and scalable
I have experience with different solutions like Oracle, Veeam, andCommvault Cloud. Right now, we are testing a solution for Kubernetes. We are trying to replace it, so we just don't know yet. I don't really know if Rubrik is a good solution for this. We are testing Velero (Open Source) or Kasten K10, and I don't know Rubrik's view for this type of technology.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It's really easy to install."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cloning."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"It has reduced our maintenance efforts. The amount of time and effort that would have gone in troubleshooting various issues related a data crash has been addressed by Rubrik. So, it has helped to improve our productivity. The data is being captured about our customers periodically that is secure and safe."
"The management and ease of installation are the most valuable features."
"In the event of any issues or questions, the support is top-notch. We rarely need to use support, but when they are needed, they are always quick to respond and very knowledgeable."
"Its reporting is most valuable. I like how it reports that everything is successfully backed up. It provides a summarized report that I can give to auditors and management."
"The ease of use and innovation are the features that stand out for us."
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"Also, the web interface is really great. The design, from a user-experience standpoint, is really straightforward and easy to use... they nailed it. Usually, from the very first panel, the dashboard that you land on after login, you've got most of your functionality right around where you need it to be. You've got your new items on the left, you've got your support on the top right. Nothing really seems out of place or just stuck in someplace."
"What I like about Rubrik is its strong focus on security, particularly in combating ransomware threats."
 

Cons

"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline."
"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 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."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"The product’s user interface needs improvement."
"There is room for improvement through a further extension of their Office 365 backup platform. In addition, it's still a bit cost-prohibitive to backup NAS. Those would be the two primary areas for improvement."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"It needs to support more applications natively, like MySQL/MariaDB."
"Two areas I would like to see improvement in Rubrik are pricing and localization."
"There could be better reporting and better filtering."

"The product is a little bit expensive."

"We pay annually for the license for Rubrik. There are no additional costs. Initially, we needed to set it up, negotiate and finalize the offer."
"Rubrik is an expensive solution."
"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
"You pay a premium for Rubrik, but you're getting a premium service that comes with immutable backups, instant recovery, and world-class support."

"The solution is expensive for small businesses."
"Rubrik is a little bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
