Featured Reviews

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.

User access has been managed efficiently and coding tasks are streamlined through secure workflows
Perhaps you should focus mostly on Identity Access Management for Perforce, as the market is heading toward IAM, and it has become mandatory. Additionally, based on my experience, I would suggest trying to use a decentralized approach similar to Git, where when a user clones the repository, it becomes their own repository. This decentralized method is what Git is doing right now, and implementing it might help the company. If you take a decentralized approach to the repository, it would be easier for users. Additionally, implementing Identity Access Management aligned with current cybersecurity tools in the market might also help the company. Focusing in that direction would be beneficial.
