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

"Simple to use and great product to provide application consistent replica."
"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."
"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 gave us enough time to do the backup for big databases and mount them in a certain location, from there on tapes."
"I believe one of the advantages we saw was that the configuration was manageable."
"It has excellent performance and reliability, and with a little more flexibility, it could be nearly perfect."
"In few steps you can configure your replicas without using auxiliary scripts."
"It's really easy to install."
"Our ROI is over $1Mil a year."
"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."
"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."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"There were some limitations in the product that prompted us to shift away from it."
"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))."
"Simplify implementation."
"Yes. Periodically I needed to restart the agent on the client side and sometimes on the server side."
"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."
"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.)."
"When it comes to unstructured and structured data, if Delphix can comply with the requirements for most of the structured data, it would be good, especially if it can include the data scanning part."
"If you are running a small-scale industry with limited budget, Perforce Delphix may not be suitable because it is costly."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"I believe the data generation part should be included in Perforce Delphix, as it would be helpful for other organizations as well."
"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."
"One challenge we have occasionally faced is troubleshooting complex provisioning or masking issues."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"Perforce Delphix can be optimized."
 

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."
"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."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
