Perforce Delphix vs. OpenText Data Protector vs. Rubrik

REST API calls are available for all Delphix activities. Delphix makes it simple to move data between production to other test or QA environments. Through the replacement with a dummy, yet realistic data of the customer or patient data, you reduce the danger of data breaches for any and all copies of data you produce.

Well suited: scenarios with very specific backups schedules; backups saved in tape libraries. Less appropriate: environments with older Operational Systems and older hardware, such as tape libraries.

Rubrik is still a relatively new product when compared to other solutions which tackle total data protection. The feature set is quite broad but still needs some refinements. Most of the User Interface is quite straightforward and easy, but some areas are a bit lacking in a description of what the option is used for, or the option is missing. While making the user experience easy, many tunables aren’t present and require a Support Tunnel to be open for a Support person to make a change in the customer’s environment. Seems the first question Support always asks is if you can open a tunnel for them to remote in. Then you’re not able to monitor exactly what they’re doing.

• Fast refresh of production data to non-production environments.
• Easy to automate tasks in Delphix (Bookmark, Rewind, Refresh, etc.) and build pipelines in tools like Jenkins. Enables CI/CD push button build of new virtual database and also the ability to automate regression testing scenarios as well as provide a simple way to expose self-service to developers & testers.
• The staff at Delphix are knowledgeable and take a genuine interest in helping their customers succeed. The support organization is among the best I've seen.
• Delphix is good at notifying customers of bugs & features striking a good balance on sending the right amount and type of communication.
• Delphix is always improving the product and fixing any bugs quickly and transparently.
• Delphix Data Masking product works as described and allows for multiple streams of masking concurrently to complete masking faster.

• It is very reliable on the server side to provide a trustworthy back end.
• The install was simple and provided an easy way to install and backup Unix servers.
• The support was always helpful and responded quickly.

Incentivized

• It just works right out of the box. No customizations were needed to start using.
• It protects several types of databases such as IBM DB2 that are not protected by competing products.
• The Rubrik Support team is very knowledgeable and responsive to our issues.

Incentivized

• Delphix is a hefty solution for virtualization, but it is not strong enough for the creation of data, so we have to use another platform when it comes to creating new data.
• Moreover, Delphix web pages do not support AD security groups which eventually results in hassle if you have a large number of users to create and maintain passwords.

Incentivized

• Increase the range of support for new platforms.
• Improve the attention of support cases in terms of speed of attention.
• Keep me better informed of the latest solution updates.

Incentivized

• Automated test restores. I would love to setup automated and random test restores on a regular basis where Rubrik's system will restore a random file or directory to a test SharePoint folder, send a full report, and provide a path to the folder for review and confirmation.

It was just not a good fit for our organization. We have an EMC SAN, Data Domain backup storage, and VMWare. Without any other HP software or hardware in our environment I do not see the need to continue using a product that is not well integrated with our other brands

Incentivized

The support has been incredible. Any time we have had a question, it has always been answered within 24hrs. Also, the team is always will to hop on a Zoom call to help walk us through the dashboard and troubleshoot any issues we are having. Also, having the peace of mind that our data is protected should anything happen in our system.

Very easy to use. What needs to improve is to make it easier to configure some integrations and features, such as office 365 integration, acropolis integration, block change-based backup, etc. Despite we have documentation, even following all the steps, the integration is hard to implement or doesn't work in the end.

The support is top notch both tech and sales team, the tools are simple
to use and yet still is feature rich. Security is top of the list, the
product is sold and reliable, easy to configure and intuitive to use.

Rubrik's brik is designed with redundancy in mind, ensuring that if one node experiences issues, others can continue to provide backup and recovery services.

The Reporting-Server and the Reports depend on the settings.

Yes. Even on VPN and poor occasional poor internet speeds we've had no issues.

Delphix support could be a little better. It seems sometimes we bounce through support engineers until we get one that understands our issues and know how to fix it.

Incentivized

It is the weak point of this software, although it is improving little by a little. The first level of support does not solve almost anything until you move on to a higher level that is more involved.

Rubrik support has been pretty good. There have been a few issues with new releases we have experienced and are still considering if we want to make the jump to version nine. There are a few things we are concerned about which are giving us pause. That being said, support is working hard to answer our questions.

Incentivized

Very easy to take in and pass on.

Easy to follow and very thorough. Trainer was knowledgeable and helpful answering any questions and providing detailed answers where possible. It's also nice to gain another badge :) There is also the Rubrik University online tutorials to refer back to and keep updated with new innovations. I would say the exam was very hard.

From experience the implementation was smooth and easy, like a simple plug and play format but would need coordination from your network team to be able to see the entire IT infrastructure.

The other competitors in the market are Solix and Data Global and SAP. The pricing and the UI are much simpler and easy to put Delphix in the top spot.

When selecting a backup solution for our virtual environment we chose HP Data Protector for its cost savings in licensing, our familiarity with the software and the ability to backup to disk, tape or both with the standard installation.

Having all our backups under one umbrella made product management easier, with not need to manage myltip contracts.

The additional analysis of the data after the fact gave insights into our user data, without the need for an addition product, or the impact on live data sets.

Here the license model from the Micro Focus Data Protector and DP4CW should merge. It causes argumentation problems if you license two products here.

We are fine with the 1 year or 3 year support options that Rubrik has had. The support for the on-prem hardware has been great too. We've had them for quite a while (4+ years) and no end of support yet.

Incentivized

We use the tool in different installations and combinations of functions and hardware.

Rubrik allows multi-site deployment and cloud integration. But we are currently only using Rubrik in one location with Archives in Cloud

The professional services had some details of low promptness in the attention of cases.

• Positive ROI on the first year.
• Low TCO as really easy to use and manage.
• Avoid technology vendor lock in.
• Avoid technology difficulties to manage data, one ingested Delphix is on charge.

• Positive impact. I have not worked with HP Data Protector enough to provide the ROI. It simply worked when we needed it to.

Incentivized

• Rubrik has eliminated all our other backup tools that we were trying to accomplish what they offer.
• Rubrik has made management of backups a non-issue.
• Recovery of systems and files takes seconds or minutes.
• We have a better strategy against ransomware.
