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."The product has made our mainframe data management process easier. It has helped us save manhours. The tool's most valuable feature is the ability to edit tape files. Its ability to clone files is beneficial in application development."
"I like the ability that it has to format copy books in a presentable manner. So, you will be able to see the starting offset in length of each field within the layout."
"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."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"The performance offered by the product, its price, and its ability to handle structured and unstructured data were good when compared to the other products in the market."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"It's really easy to install."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"We plan to replace BMC Compuware File-AID due to its price. Two years back, we paid 11,000 dollars. However, the current price is 27,900 dollars. The price has increased to at least eight times its initial cost. We would need to pay around 60,000 dollars to have all three products together. We also encountered issues during version updates."
"Technical support has gotten better over the years, though there's always room for improvement."
"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."
"GUI could be improved."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"Delphix is a strong solution for virtualization, but it's not strong enough for creating data, so we have to use another solution for creating new data."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
