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'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."
"This solution is very helpful and easy to use."
"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."
"Simple to use and great product to provide application consistent replica."
"It has excellent performance and reliability, and with a little more flexibility, it could be nearly perfect."
"This solution is very helpful and easy to use."
"We have application consistent snaps of SQL mounted to development VM’s daily."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"Perforce Delphix has made a huge impact in my projects in terms of time saving."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"If the price is good for your budget, don’t miss it, it makes your life easier than before."
"I have obtained a very large gain in database virtualization with Perforce Delphix, as I can deliver environments very quickly, in a matter of hours or even minutes depending on the size of the production database I want to replicate, and the storage savings are also very large, as Perforce Delphix is able to compress the data and provide very significant savings for my company."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
 

Cons

"There were some limitations in the product that prompted us to shift away from it."
"The product needs to be less complex (compatibility, solution enabler etc.)."
"It would be helpful if this product has features for transferring to the cloud."
"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."
"Simplify implementation."
"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."
"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."
"One challenge we have occasionally faced is troubleshooting complex provisioning or masking issues."
"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."
"Faster data masking."
"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."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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