We performed a comparison between Broadcom Test Data Manager and Protegrity Data Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Masking solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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 scalability is outstanding. We're able to scale it to any size of data that we want. We can do small data sets, we can do large data sets."
"The whole process is done by functions which are compiled on the source environment itself. Normally, you take the data from the source, you manage them - for example, mask them - and then you load this masked data into the destination. With this solution, it's completely different. On the source environment, there are functions compiled inside the environment, which means they are amazingly fast and, on the source environment, data are masked already. So when you take them, you already take masked data from the source. So you can copy them, even with an unencrypted pipe."
"When I run my App Test, I can directly connect with TDM. I can publish all my data into one table in TDM, then run my App Test directly."
"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."
"There is other stuff that they are working on right now, and that includes things like the vTDM or Virtual Test Data Management. That is where they have the ability to do test data clones. It is really neat because after doing some of that creation, or if you are going to do some subsetting, then you have a great looking database."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"The product is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."
"I would say implementing test data management requires a lot of effort and time...Even if you have experienced people, it takes time."
"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."
"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."
"We are using a specific database. We are not using Oracle or SQL, Microsoft. We are using Teradata. There are some things that they don't have in their software. For example, when delivering data, they are not delivering them in the fastest possible way. There are some things which are faster."
"The integration with various utilities is also really important. That still has to happen. That's a major area for improvement."
"When we publish a lot data into the target, sometimes it is not able to handle it."
"They should make the Portal a little more user-friendly, make it even easier to configure things directly from the Portal."
"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."
"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."
"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
"The solution's UI could be better."
