We performed a comparison between Delphix and Oracle Data Guard 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."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's really easy to install."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any bugs, glitches, or crashes. We find it to be quite reliable."
"The solution is really very stable. One good thing about it, compared to other products, is that you can just run it and forget about it. Unless you come across some interruptions in the network, it works like a charm."
"We use Data Guard for online replication from data center, to data center for high availability. This is the most important feature."
"Snapshot and Data Guard Manager are awesome features."
"The solution can scale as needed."
"We chose this solution for the availability of the databases. We can't afford Oracle Grid, this is the best solution if you want something similar that's less expensive."
"It is a top-notch product, super stable, making it our go-to for internal operations."
"Oracle Data Guard is a free solution. When you apply for Enterprise Manager, it comes for free with the solution."
"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 could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"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."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"The predominant issue lies in the communication link between the secondary and primary databases."
"Oracle could be improved by the ability to manage it on the cloud. This on-premises version is secure and reliable, but I'm sure that they will soon provide a cloud solution that will be even better. In one to two years, we will probably move to the cloud—we have already moved to the cloud with Microsoft Exchange, but our databases are still on-premises. I would prefer managing a cloud version of Oracle."
"For every standby server you have, you must pay a licensing fee, which is the main disadvantage."
"The usage of block storage devices in the cloud or migration of a type of storage from one site to another site can be improved. Currently, we have to use multi-node to single node because of the lack of storage support on the Azure side. It did not really work. Our DBA had to spend a lot of time tweaking the Data Guard tools, or the underlying Oracle VMs, to make sure that Data Guard would run on top of different types of storage. So, if it can support transporting or getting from one type of storage to another type of storage in a different site or a different technology, it would be very helpful."
"It is a very useful administrative IT tool. It saves on costs."
"The deployment cost is expensive."
"The IP implementation and maintenance are a little bit hard to manage across Oracle solutions, including Oracle Data Guard."
"When the data replicates into the standby database there is a possibility of having a microsecond amount of data loss. The data loss occurs when there is a network disconnection between the primary and secondary standby database located in the data centers or if there is a crash in the primary database."
Delphix is ranked 1st in Test Data Management with 15 reviews while Oracle Data Guard is ranked 10th in Backup and Recovery with 31 reviews. Delphix is rated 8.0, while Oracle Data Guard is rated 8.4. The top reviewer of Delphix writes "Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Oracle Data Guard writes "Ensures high availability, disaster recovery, and data protection for Oracle databases through features like real-time data synchronization, automatic failover and zero data loss". Delphix is most compared with Informatica Test Data Management (TDM), Denodo, Broadcom Test Data Manager, IBM InfoSphere Optim Test Data Management (TDM) and Actifio, whereas Oracle Data Guard is most compared with Veeam Backup & Replication, Zerto, Veritas NetBackup, Commvault Cloud and Dell NetWorker.
