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

"This solution is very helpful and easy to use."
"Simple to use and great product to provide application consistent replica."
"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."
"We have application consistent snaps of SQL mounted to development VM’s daily."
"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."
"It has excellent performance and reliability, and with a little more flexibility, it could be nearly perfect."
"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."
"Using Perforce Delphix has helped most of our customers be 58% faster in developing new applications."
"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."
"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."
"This solution has provided us the ability to apply Agile Methodology for developers, as each developer has their own virtual database from the parent DB, allowing for concurrent development."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"The most valuable aspect is the product is easy to manage, with a good dashboard. We can easily configure it on the front end and back end."
"Perforce Delphix has positively impacted my organization by improving efficiency, as the process that used to take almost 48 hours has been reduced by 40 hours due to Perforce Delphix, allowing us to complete our work in just eight hours and reducing one full-time effort of an employee so that person can focus on other areas."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"There were some limitations in the product that prompted us to shift away from it."
"Simplify implementation."
"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."
"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."
"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))."
"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."
"Sometimes the complexity of virtualization needs much more documentation, which is what I think could be improved with Perforce Delphix."
"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."
"For improvement purposes, the automation part needs to be improved in Perforce Delphix."
"Perforce Delphix can be optimized."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"If the data is unique and cannot be masked using the Perforce Delphix built-in algorithms, creating customized algorithms as per the requirement becomes difficult."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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