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 like the integration a lot. We use the test matching feature and the ability to make and find data.""The most valuable feature is the Portal that comes with the tool. That helps make it look much more user-friendly for the users. Also its ease of use - even for developers it's not that complicated.""​The masking of data has really been key for us to be able to replace PII with fake values.""The combination of extract, mask, and load, along with synthetic data, is what is generally needed by any of our clients, and CA TDM has really good compatibility in both of the areas.""The synthetic data generation is really good... You can write rules and create permutations and combinations according to your needs. Or you can take a snippet of the Prod data and replicate it.""It allows us to create a testing environment that is repeatable. And we can manage the data so that our testing becomes automated, everything from actually performing the testing to also evaluating the results.""​The initial setup was straightforward. Basically, just install, next, and start using it​."

"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.""It is a stable solution.""Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable.""Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly.""It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA.""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.""The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data.""Data being available anytime is a life changer."

Cons
"They could make it easier to model databases, because right now it is really technical, so to train someone on it takes a while.""The integration with various utilities is also really important. That still has to happen. That's a major area for improvement.""They should make the Portal a little more user-friendly, make it even easier to configure things directly from the Portal.""Get everything centralized into the portal.""When we publish a lot data into the target, sometimes it is not able to handle it.""As the solution continues to evolve, the one thing I like about it is the API-friendly layers that they have added into the realm. So, I just would like to see more support around that and more usability.""There are different modules for masking. There is a portal and there is a standalone application as well. The standalone application is more old-fashioned. When you write rules on this old-fashioned interface, because it has more complex functions available for use, you can't migrate them to the portal.""Needs a better fit and finish."

"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms.""The solution's price needs improvement.""One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating.""The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly.""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.""Delphix is quite expensive.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It can be scaled for as many licenses as the customer is willing to pay. It's kind of expensive."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "I would rate Broadcom TDM's pricing as four out of five."
  • "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."
  • "The tool's pricing is high."
  • More Broadcom Test Data Manager Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
  • "Delphix's pricing is affordable."
  • "I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
  • "It is an expensive solution."
  • "The product is a little bit expensive."
  • "I rate the product price seven to eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is the low price, and ten is the high price."
