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

"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."
"I believe one of the advantages we saw was that the configuration was manageable."
"Simple to use and great product to provide application consistent replica."
"In few steps you can configure your replicas without using auxiliary scripts."
"We have application consistent snaps of SQL mounted to development VM’s daily."
"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."
"It has excellent performance and reliability, and with a little more flexibility, it could be nearly perfect."
"It gave us enough time to do the backup for big databases and mount them in a certain location, from there on tapes."
"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."
"Perforce Delphix has positively impacted my organization as the migration became fast, because earlier migration took four months to migrate our data from prod to non-prod, and now it is just a one-day or two-day task."
"Perforce Delphix is a valuable tool that ensures the delivery of compliant data that does not violate data protection policies such as GDPR or HIPAA, thereby protecting customer information while providing high-quality test data that resembles live production data but is masked."
"Perforce Delphix has impacted my organization positively in terms of data virtualization, was very helpful for test data management because the manpower that we needed to manage all the databases and wait for database administrators was really minimized, and was also very helpful in terms of audits and regulation maintenance, so it has really benefited our organization positively."
"Perforce Delphix has positively impacted our organization by reducing the time it takes to do non-production environment data refreshes from weeks to hours, which has saved a lot of time for the teams; we were completely agile from top to bottom, enabling us to deliver quick turnaround and significant benefits to our teams, delivering value to the business—it was an excellent investment."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cloning."
"Perforce Delphix has positively impacted my organization by significantly improving turnaround time for test cycles, enabling us to close feature set testing very quickly and enhancing development time due to the availability of real-time data for executing numerous use cases in a non-production environment."
"Perforce Delphix has impacted my organization positively by making us much more service-oriented and creating an in-house service that is listed in the application catalog and advertised as the go-to service for internal users to de-identify sensitive PHI and PII data."
 

Cons

"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."
"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))."
"Yes. Periodically I needed to restart the agent on the client side and sometimes on the server side."
"The product needs to be less complex (compatibility, solution enabler etc.)."
"It would be helpful if this product has features for transferring to the cloud."
"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."
"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."
"Perforce Delphix has been of great use when it comes to SQL Server, but it should improve mainly when it comes to SAP HANA and Salesforce as I have not seen Perforce Delphix progress much in those areas."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"Faster data masking."
"One area where Perforce Delphix could be improved is the ability to handle thousands of files more efficiently."
"It is hard to answer whether I would advise someone to use Perforce because the market has moved far ahead of Perforce."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"I face different challenges every day on all of the projects, and I see different bugs and problems, so every day I try a new challenge."
"There are still some areas in Perforce Delphix needing improvement, particularly in the data quality aspects, which I provided feedback on during my time using Perforce Delphix; products like Collibra or Informatica are leaders in data quality, covering six dimensions including accuracy and completeness, which are missing in Perforce Delphix."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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