Amit-Rastogi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
AmarpreetSingh - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"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 VDB provisioning."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"It's really easy to install."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"It has a ​single pane of glass interface."
"The solution is stable."
"One platform for instant recovery."
"Cut backup remediation to nearly nothing."
"The most valuable features of Rubrik are the restoration and ease of use."
"The solution is extremely stable. They've been phenomenal, especially for a young company."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"There is a live-restore feature, their Live Mount, and the way it works we can instantly recover a VM, a past backup, to be directly attached to our VMware environment. Rubrik will act as a disk for it. It's like an instant restore. Within a few minutes our VM is up and running. And then, if we want to restore it, we can just migrate it to our actual storage."
 

Cons

"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"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."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline."
"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 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."
"Rubrik's disaster recovery capabilities could be improved."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
"They should give more access to the backend capabilities. From a customer point of view, you do not have access to all the features on the system. You have to engage their support to perform some of the tasks. It would be helpful for an experienced engineer to be able to go and do some of those tasks prior to contacting the support."
"We would like to be able to do granular restores directly from Exchange. Also, more granular management of VM backups would help."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
"Rubrik is expensive."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"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."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"Rubrik is priced high, but it was the solution that was providing us encryption and was secure. The solution price is high, but you get what you pay for."
"You pay a premium for Rubrik, but you're getting a premium service that comes with immutable backups, instant recovery, and world-class support."
"We pay yearly and it's based on the number of bricks."
"The cost was less than our previous provider, and this is a much better product."
"It is an expensive product."
"There is a license requirement for the solution. If you expand or if the maintenance period expires, there's a license renewal as well."
"The solution is expensive for small businesses."
"It’s simple, straightforward, and we were able to see 50% hard savings."
