More Actifio Pros →

"The tool enabled us to leverage Teradata Parallel Transporter to write the masked data efficiently to our Teradata warehouse.""Organizations working on different projects can benefit from this tool.""Informatica Test Data Management is a complete solution. I'm not very deep in the technical aspect of the solution, but most of the workflows are now completely automated. There are some minor elements where we have to still add manual parts to the implementation."

Cons
"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility.""The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle.""The initial setup is complex.""Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself.""Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment.""Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version of the tool."

More Actifio Cons →

"The UI experience is a little bit old. When applying more than 80 columns, it means doing it in phases, as it won't allow it in one go.""Probably the ideal time testing site, utilizing self-service for real-time testing, could be an area for improvement.""Informatica has a data governance suite, and at the moment, there is no connection between the data governance elements, such as the data catalog, and the Informatica Test Data Management software. For example, the data discovery which is part of both solutions is two separate things. If you have a data discovery in the data catalog, then we cannot use it for Informatica Test Data Management purposes and vice versa. The same software vendor, has two different products, with the same functionality. There's was no need to separate things. This is something which was a problem in a use case of the customer where this was the reason why they didn't choose the Informatica solution."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:Actifio was very stable. Whenever they identified bugs, they would promptly provide us with patches.
    Top Answer:I think licensing costs are reasonable but we have taxes here in Brazil that make hi-tech products more expensive.
    Top Answer:The area they could improve was when we were in Azure cloud, and Actifio got bought by Google, they stopped supporting us. So that's an area they could improve.
    Top Answer:The tool enabled us to leverage Teradata Parallel Transporter to write the masked data efficiently to our Teradata warehouse.
    Top Answer:The UI experience is a little bit old. When applying more than 80 columns, it means doing it in phases, as it won't allow it in one go. So, this is an area of improvement.
    Top Answer:The use case includes data masking regarding GDPR. I developed resources for masking data around a hundred of them. Then, I applied the masking tool, mostly on SQL Server data.
