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 has excellent performance and reliability, and with a little more flexibility, it could be nearly perfect."
"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."
"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 gave us enough time to do the backup for big databases and mount them in a certain location, from there on tapes."
"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."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"Overall, the key outcomes have been faster delivery cycles, improved productivity for development and testing teams, reduced storage costs, and better data security."
"The best aspect of Perforce Delphix is the multi-modality and the ability to handle a large number of files along with decades of commit history since the inception of Synopsys."
"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."
"For the code side, it was very secure, and when it comes to user management, it was very user-friendly; the onboarding process was easy, and adding and managing users was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"It's really easy to install."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"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))."
"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."
"The product needs to be less complex (compatibility, solution enabler etc.)."
"Yes. Periodically I needed to restart the agent on the client side and sometimes on the server side."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"In terms of improvements for Perforce Delphix, I believe the pricing page should provide more flexibility, as it was costlier before, though I am uncertain about the current pricing structure."
"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."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"Sometimes the complexity of virtualization needs much more documentation, which is what I think could be improved with Perforce Delphix."
"Perforce Delphix can be optimized."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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