Offers great utility with synthetic data generation and reliable technical support

Overall, this can definitely be the advantage of the product, and I'm happy with these functionalities that Broadcom provides. I totally recommend any application working on the database layer directly and I don't recommend any applications from other external vendors to perform the same function. Oracle and PostgreSQL have similar applications and they both work directly in the database, reading directly from the database, transforming values in another table within the same database, making it easy to run. The solution is saving me time and money in general because this application saves money and a lot of effort. I can generate any amount of data from Broadcom Test Data Manager, which has a lot of information and equations regarding this task. It saves money because my testing team needs this data to create use cases tested on realistic data. Broadcom Test Data Manager adds great value to my organization, but I believe it can be afforded only in international, large-sized companies. It is not affordable for medium or small-sized organizations.

Data masking has protected sensitive test data and enables accurate, large-scale QA testing

The best features that DataMasque offers are the speed and accuracy, which are by far the best of any of the masking products. The speed and accuracy help my team because, since it's our test, our UI and test boxes, we don't want to introduce data errors and bugs or have any data leakage, so it's incredibly important to have accuracy. Speed is key because we have terabytes worth of data to process. If it was slower, it would take probably a week to be able to process and mask the whole thing, which is incredibly helpful. DataMasque has positively impacted our organization by absolutely allowing us to more rigorously test our products within a safe environment without leaking personally identifiable information.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"TDM allows us to find the right test data for the test that we need, and then it also allows us to get the required data inputs into our API test, so that we can do a full test."

"I have always gotten a call back within an hour from CA's technical support solutions and they are a wonderful team to work with."

"When you have hundreds and hundreds of databases everywhere, how do you do that without looking for keys? If you do it manually, you're going to need a lot of people. With the tool, I work with five people on my team. Right now, we're modeling 700 different databases, and we can do it very quickly because of the tool."

"The data generation is one of the most valuable features because we are able to write a lot of rules. We have some specific rules here in Turkey, for example, Turkish ID IBAN codes for banks."

"I like the integration a lot. We use the test matching feature and the ability to make and find data."

"CA is one of the few tool suites that has end-to-end features. Whatever role you are playing, whatever personality you are trying to address, it has that feature. For example, CA Service Virtualization goes hand-in-hand with TDM."

"It removes manual intervention. A lot of the time that we've spent previously was always manually, as an individual running SQL scripts against databases, or manually going through a UI to create data. These solutions allow us to incorporate automation and self-service to eliminate all of our manual efforts."

"Core features that we needed were synthetic data creation, and to be able to do complex data mining and profiling across multiple databases with referential integrity intact across them. CA's product actually came through with the highest score and met the most of our needs."

More Broadcom Test Data Manager pros

"Being able to generate the masking rules directly from the tool based on what it finds during the data discovery helps ensure that all sensitive fields are identified and masked."

"DataMasque has positively impacted our organization by absolutely allowing us to more rigorously test our products within a safe environment without leaking personally identifiable information."

Cons

"We had one user that was primarily working on it, who probably spent a few months initially setting it up."

"All financial institutions are based on mainframes, so they're never going to go away. There are ppportunities to increase functionality and efficiencies within the mainframe solution, within this TDM product."

"Broadcom Test Data Manager is for data management. I would like to see some extension with data warehousing concerning ETL. It should also integrate with Jira or other reporting tools. Currently, after creating data, we update tickets and other information in various tools. This would enable us to attach relevant files or information to specific tickets."

"Broadcom TDM takes a long time to import documents, which wastes time that could be spent on other things."

"The additional feature probably would be a data reservation that is more robust, where you can actually use it consecutively."

"The integration with various utilities is also really important. That still has to happen. That's a major area for improvement."

"It has a feature called TDM Portal, where testers can find test data by themselves, based on multiple models. They can reserve the data so that it belongs to one group or individual. Obviously, that data is not available to anybody else... This feature is for one environment. But if a different group of testers wanted that data for a different environment, they can't use it via CA TDM. That feature doesn't exist."

"There were some issues with initial setup. It wasn't as smooth as we had thought. We ran into a network issue, a firewall issue, things like that. It wasn't something we could not fix. We worked with CA support and with the client's team to fix it. But there were issues, it took a lot of time to install and configure."

More Broadcom Test Data Manager cons

"I think it would be great if the user experience was upgraded because it can be quite technical at times."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of this tool is pretty high... CA provides licenses for different utilities like masking but even if you break it up, the pricing is still high."

"Know all the data requirements before buying this product. There are a lot of features for this tool, which may or may not be useful to a particular company. Make sure of what your requirements for your data are."

"The tool's pricing is high."

"Part of the licensing is dependent on whether you want to use the portal. It's based on floating users. The other part is dependent on what type of system you are using. We are using mainframe, so we paid good money for a mainframe license."

"My company makes yearly payments toward the licensing costs. So, I consider the licensing costs to be expensive, especially considering what I have heard from my colleagues."

"Mainly, we compete with the IBM team and Informatica, and if you compare the license cost, Broadcom is too flexible. Depending on the customer's budget, we suggest they buy only respective SKUs, and it's much cheaper compared to others because we have gone over multiple deals where pricing was never a factor in differentiating products."

"It can be scaled for as many licenses as the customer is willing to pay. It's kind of expensive."

"I would rate Broadcom TDM's pricing as four out of five."
