Azure StorSimple vs. Delphix

Onsite storage needs and backing up to Azure.

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

• Performance via the SSD drives.
• Writes back to our Private Cloud via Azure.
• Easy to Admin via Web client interface.

Incentivized

• 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.

• Additional fail-over functionality

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.

If I wanted to use just onsite storage the StorSimple device is already paid for.

Incentivized

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.

Easy to use and highly compatible with our MSFT Hyper-V environment

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

• Great Folks on the MSFT Implementation team
• Great value on year 2

Incentivized

• 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.
