Simple to install, reliable, and has good technical support
There were some limitations in the product that prompted us to shift away from it. You could only have one AppSync profile per server to target where the data could be replicated to. There were a few specific feature limitations in terms of flexibility that required the development of an alternative. However, that was the only flaw. In relation to, the replication destinations. We wanted to collect data from multiple systems and then replicate it on a single system. AppSync was based on a one-to-one replication footprint, which was the limitation that we had encountered. We needed to combine several systems into one. That was one of the scenarios provided by the solution. I would like to have the ability to bit the same system with multiple AppSync replications would definitely be beneficial to us. And general flexibility enhancements.

Automated data masking and provisioning has improved compliance and accelerated secure testing workflows across cloud environments
Some of the best features of Perforce Delphix include its automation of sensitive data discovery and masking with referential integrity for Aurora and RDS, as well as support for diverse data sources including Oracle, SQL, SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. Additionally, its GUI workflows simplify the creation and scheduling of masking jobs and enhance data governance in cloud hybrid and on-premises environments. Perforce Delphix can deliver up to 25 terabytes of data in just minutes, making it approximately 100 times faster for development and testing needs. Perforce Delphix has positively impacted my organization by saving us 70 to 80% of the time, which has enabled us to complete data sprints earlier, and it has also helped reduce costs. The time to complete one story point has decreased from 10 hours to around 4 or 5 hours, leading to substantial cost savings. Furthermore, it's effective in managing scaled agile enterprise data management, as we orchestrate and govern masking jobs across multiple teams and agile release trains to ensure data privacy standards are maintained.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is very helpful and easy to use."
"It's integration with SQL and Exchange for VSS-based backup works perfectly, the agent is easy to install, the GUI is easy to navigate and debugging is easy to enable or disable."
"The EMC RM is a very useful technology for consistent data replicas for a significant application portfolio like MS SQL, MS Exchange, Oracle DB etc."
"In few steps you can configure your replicas without using auxiliary scripts."
"I believe one of the advantages we saw was that the configuration was manageable."
"We have application consistent snaps of SQL mounted to development VM’s daily."
"It gave us enough time to do the backup for big databases and mount them in a certain location, from there on tapes."
"However if you wanted a reliable product to work with new or existing EMC products then I would recommend taking a look at Replication Manager."
"Perforce Delphix itself has helped us enable data masking in a very seamless and efficient manner."
"Our ROI is over $1Mil a year."
"If the price is good for your budget, don’t miss it, it makes your life easier than before."
"Our primary use case is cloning databases, and we can complete this process in minutes."
"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 feature is VDB provisioning."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cloning."
"Perforce Delphix has made a huge impact in my projects in terms of time saving."
 

Cons

"There were some limitations in the product that prompted us to shift away from it."
"Each replication manager installation can only handle so many records. If you have over a certain number of bookmarks or snaps, the GUI becomes un-usable."
"The product needs to be less complex (compatibility, solution enabler etc.)."
"When I deployed the Replication Manager and detected issues, I found that the technical support was not really helpful because they spent a lot of time to found a hotfix which resolved my problem."
"It would be helpful if this product has features for transferring to the cloud."
"I would like to have the ability to bit the same system with multiple AppSync replications would definitely be beneficial to us. And general flexibility enhancements."
"Mount replica function through EMC RM needs to be faster because when you are using Veritas volumes with mirrors the mount routine is too late (the mount process time is directly proportional the volume size when you are using Veritas Volume Manager (vxvm))."
"Simplify implementation."
"In terms of challenges with Perforce Delphix, it would be really helpful if the tool provides a chance to use some transformation features, such as those in Informatica; for instance, if a column contains multi-value data, it would be helpful to separate the data."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"If you are running a small-scale industry with limited budget, Perforce Delphix may not be suitable because it is costly."
"They should improve their support system for the API."
"Faster data masking."
"It is hard to answer whether I would advise someone to use Perforce because the market has moved far ahead of Perforce."
"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."
"The customer support for Perforce Delphix, based on my experience, is initially not easy to reach, but in the succession stage, it is easy to reach support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe we paid them on a yearly basis."
"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."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
