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

"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."
"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."
"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."
"It gave us enough time to do the backup for big databases and mount them in a certain location, from there on tapes."
"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."
"We have application consistent snaps of SQL mounted to development VM’s daily."
"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."
"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 itself has helped us enable data masking in a very seamless and efficient manner."
"Overall, the key outcomes have been faster delivery cycles, improved productivity for development and testing teams, reduced storage costs, and better data security."
"It is a stable solution."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"Our primary use case is cloning databases, and we can complete this process in minutes."
"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

"The product needs to be less complex (compatibility, solution enabler etc.)."
"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))."
"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."
"Simplify implementation."
"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."
"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 solution's price needs improvement."
"Sometimes the complexity of virtualization needs much more documentation, which is what I think could be improved with Perforce Delphix."
"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."
"It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline."
"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."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"Occasionally, issues arise with VDBs, which can become corrupted, making data retrieval impossible and possibly resulting in data loss."
"Delphix isn't very scalable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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