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

"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."
"Simple to use and great product to provide application consistent replica."
"I believe one of the advantages we saw was that the configuration was manageable."
"The automation of the replication process is the most valuable feature, as we just configure or schedule the replication process once and the work is done automatically."
"In few steps you can configure your replicas without using auxiliary scripts."
"This solution is very helpful and easy to use."
"It has excellent performance and reliability, and with a little more flexibility, it could be nearly perfect."
"Perforce Delphix itself has helped us enable data masking in a very seamless and efficient manner."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"Without a doubt, the most valuable feature of Delphix is VDB provisioning, which has the ability to provision virtual databases and provide us with a huge reduction in storage requirements, enabling us to provision databases on demand at a fraction of the storage requirement that we would have needed without it."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"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."
"Delphix's data distribution is powerful."
"The best features Perforce Delphix offers are quick and easy production-like database management, as refreshing databases is easy and efficient and has positively impacted my organization by saving considerable time."
 

Cons

"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))."
"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."
"Simplify implementation."
"It would be helpful if this product has features for transferring to the cloud."
"Yes. Periodically I needed to restart the agent on the client side and sometimes on the server side."
"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."
"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."
"The product needs to be less complex (compatibility, solution enabler etc.)."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"If you are running a small-scale industry with limited budget, Perforce Delphix may not be suitable because it is costly."
"Occasionally, issues arise with VDBs, which can become corrupted, making data retrieval impossible and possibly resulting in data loss."
"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."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"It is hard to answer whether I would advise someone to use Perforce because the market has moved far ahead of Perforce."
"One challenge we have occasionally faced is troubleshooting complex provisioning or masking issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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