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

"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."
"I believe one of the advantages we saw was that the configuration was manageable."
"This solution is very helpful and easy to use."
"This solution is very helpful and easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"It has excellent performance and reliability, and with a little more flexibility, it could be nearly perfect."
"It's really easy to install."
"If the price is good for your budget, don’t miss it, it makes your life easier than before."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"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."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
 

Cons

"Yes. Periodically I needed to restart the agent on the client side and sometimes on the server side."
"It would be helpful if this product has features for transferring to the cloud."
"Simplify implementation."
"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."
"There were some limitations in the product that prompted us to shift away from it."
"It would be helpful if this product has features for transferring to the cloud."
"The product needs to be less complex (compatibility, solution enabler etc.)."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"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."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"GUI could be improved."
"The initial implementation learning curve could be improved, as it is challenging for newcomers to navigate."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe we paid them on a yearly basis."
"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."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"It is an expensive solution."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"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."
