Romil Kapadia - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use, covers all the technology and database stacks, and provides good value for money
We had a Broadcom solution. We had an exit strategy for all the tools of this provider. The contracts were supposed to end. DATPROF is more open with respect to outside environments. Of course, it's not open-source technology, but there are provisions to do so, whereas, with earlier tools, that wasn't the case. Another good part of DATPROF is that because they have already been in the market and working with customers for a long time, they know the ins and outs of how the market in the Netherlands works. That was visible when we were performing use cases where the generation of test data was required. Everything that we could possibly think of is already covered by the tool. The inclusiveness or the wholesomeness of the tool is very good. DATPROF's UI is many years ahead of earlier tools. Broadcom's customer support was not up to our requirements. With DATPROF, even though we are just in the sales phase, I already see tremendous improvement. With the earlier tool, they were not able to provide the solutions that we wanted, whereas with DATPROF, Gerard, and Michael are just a call away, and they are willing to extend themselves to provide us with the right support.

Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly
My advice depends on an organization’s needs. If an organization has a large volume of data, Delphix is a good choice. It is robust and very efficient with large volumes of data and different kinds of databases. If someone is looking for a one-stop solution with all features and capabilities, they must consider a different tool. Overall, I rate the product a six or seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its ease of use is valuable. It's pretty straightforward. With minimal training or with minimal guidance, it can be used."
"We can create synthetic test data for our different development teams without needing production data, which is an excellent capability."
"We have some customers who are in both SAP and non-SAP. When we do scrambling for different applications, it is extremely important that DATPROF and the SAP applications talk to each other and synchronize. Otherwise... [an] identity [can be] lost, from a name perspective."
"Technical support is good. They are friendly and fast."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use... We were able to quickly port a JD Edwards application into the DATPROF solution and we were able to scramble the data in that application. It's a single tool that helps us to do that across applications."
"I am very impressed with the capabilities of the software."
"The data modeling software gave additional insights for debugging in the case of circular foreign keys."
"The most valuable feature of DATPROF Privacy for us is the possibility to mask sensitive test and development data on different kinds of databases. Furthermore, the tool comes with different useful masking functions. It is possible to mask deterministic and it is possible to add your own functions. The tool has an intuitive interface and customer support is fast and efficient."
"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 most valuable aspect is the product is easy to manage, with a good dashboard. We can easily configure it on the front end and back end."
"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."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
 

Cons

"The product could be improved by adding functions to mask flat files and XML data."
"They could improve the solution by expanding the APIs. If there were options to integrate it with other solutions, that would help."
"From what I know, there are some challenges with respect to the number of data formats that can be made available. This is something that can be improved."
"Right now, we need to make process agreements with our supplier to keep our source and target database in line with the current production version. This may become an issue when (if) we reach a CI/CD level with multiple releases per day."
"I feel that we have to do a lot of reworking of the template implementations... Maybe it is a limitation, but as a customer, it feels like we need to start from scratch every time. It would help if we could reuse at least some of what we have already done."
"The synthetic data-generating element of the tool is relatively new, so we sometimes encounter bugs, though when we inform DATPROF, they act quickly to fix any issues. Of course, the fewer bugs we face, the better."
"We organized the orchestration via ServiceNow/Runbook. It would be nice if DatProf software had this functionality as well."
"Although it is possible to mask flat files inside DATPROF Privacy, the current solution is solid. However, it can be improved with an improved user interface."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"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."
"It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline."
"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."
"GUI could be improved."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm not part of the financial team, but as far as I understand, the price is very reasonable compared to the competitors."
"It's very competitive. There is a good price-to-feature relation. It doesn't give us the feeling that we are overspending on something. It provides the right value at the right price. It's worth it."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"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."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"It is an expensive solution."
