We performed a comparison between Delphix and NetApp SnapCenter based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Data Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"It's really easy to install."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"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."
"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 is a stable solution."
"The simplicity of backup and restore directly with VMware is an advantage and the time to backup and restore is reduced."
"We have been very satisfied with the technical support's help. Their knowledge level is great. For a noncritical question, they will get back to us within a day."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"A feature that stands out is cloning databases. If you have a SQL database and it's huge, like one terabyte, the classical SQL way would be to do a backup-restore to create a clone of your database for test purposes. With SnapCenter now, we can clone a database but through the Snapshot technology, which means if you right-click and you click Clone, the one terabyte database is there instantly."
"The way that it interconnects with VMware is really handy, because you can go right into your vSphere client, where you spend a lot of the day anyway, right-click on one of the VMs where you have backups running for however long, and you can restore either some files or restore the entire thing."
"Most banks and financial institutions use the solution."
"I like the instant backups and recovery feature that SnapCenter provides within NetApp storage systems."
"The centralized GUI is the best feature, that there is only one webpage where we can see the states of all the backup jobs. We can see all the tasks that are running and we can quickly see if one fails; if they are running or have any issues. We have all that in one place."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"GUI could be improved."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"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 could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"If it was possible to create backups on non-NetApp storage, that would be helpful."
"The replication feature needs improvement in future releases."
"Since the solution's initial setup is complex, it should make training documents available in the public space."
"We have experience some difficulties with our current support. We are engaging in engineering level support because some of our problems are more technical."
"When you have role-based access, for example, it's a bit of a problem that the person who creates the backup job is the owner of it. We are struggling a bit with this, that everyone has the same view and the same permissions in there."
"The Dashboard view needs to be more compressed with better ease of access and drill-down features. They should also reinstate Linux filesystem backups of storage volumes (which existed in the prior version)."
"The compatibility with other manufacturers, like Oracle and Hyper-V, could be improved. I would like to see it be more compatible with other software."
"The GUI is still so-so. I' don't use the GUI that often anymore because it's really slow, refreshing disks, refreshing hosts, and you have to click a lot."
