Wow, did you just transfer me to the sales team? They have been hoping for
a way to strategically move a tech person to help them with sales! Expect
a few thank you letters, Mladen!
Last time I checked, the Self Service Portal isn't a "marketing term", it's
a full UI that's been around for a couple years now in EM12c.

The term "self-service" is a marketing term without much meaning, if any
at all. With Commvault, anyone can clone the database, given the
appropriate privileges. Privileges can be assigned by the Commvault
administrator. Even at a gas station you need a credit card for "self
service". Having a credit card is a privilege and very far from being
universal, at that.
Also, I am not sure that the original topic included marketing of the
products and doing feature by feature comparison. In my opinion, that part
is not appropriate for this group. I also try not to push the products of
my employer through this list. Refraining from marketing avoids awkward
situations like this one. After all, I am a computer geek, not a sales
person.

Back to the original topic, would you explain what "self-service
capability" means?

Assuming a definition of "self-service capability" as "management of a

Only if you are adopting extremely simplistic interpretation, to the point
of silliness.
In contrast, Oracle Snapclone provides self-service provisioning through
a service catalog of templates
<http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/cloud-mgmt/em-snapclone-2267372.html>,
and different accounts have a separation of duties (i.e. some accounts can
create templates, other accounts can only clone from templates, etc), but
there are others on this list who can explain this much more capably than I.
As far as Delphix is concerned, its main user-interface enables DBAs to do
everything, but the Delphix JetStream
<https://docs.delphix.com/display/DOCS41/Getting+Started+with+Jet+Stream>
user-interface is provided to be used by developers, QA testers, project
leads, and other non-DBAs to manage what has already been provisioned.
Tim, I am a Commvault employee. Are you by any chance a Delphix reseller
or are you making money by pushing Delphix?
