Excellent working environment, with continuous updates and affordable pricing
Pros and Cons

Easy to set up and supports creating virtual databases
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
  • "This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is cloning databases. We can complete this process in minutes.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases.

As much as I have used it, I'm fine with the interface.

What needs improvement?

This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution. Everything can be stored on the platform but it is mostly used for the database and database virtualization. If they put everything on the storage then they would not need separate storage for other applications.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Delphix for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have had some issues, but they have always been resolved.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable, as for as the other database storage is concerned. We have a backup and restore department who uses this product, and we might be 10 people.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was fine.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, this is a good product and I can recommend it, but there is always room for improvement.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

Fast response time and the interface is very user-friendly
Pros and Cons
  • "Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very 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."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case of this solution is to test virtual databases. We copy data from live databases, encode them, test them and then transform them with CA virtual case databases. 

What is most valuable?

Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly. The response time is also fast and copying takes about five minutes.  

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Delphix for about two months now on premises.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very, very stable.

How are customer service and technical support?

We encountered a problem when we ran the POC process. We contacted support, the consultant opened a ticket and then it was solved within about five hours to one day. So the support is good.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup and installation was easy and, even though the deployment is not finished yet, the POC process took us about two weeks. We are working with a consultant and a technical test team.

What other advice do I have?

I am really satisfied with this solution and I will rate it an eight out of ten. In the next version I would, however, like to see improved data generation for virtual databases.

Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option.
