Find out in this report how the two Test Data Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It is a stable solution."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"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."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"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."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"What I like about IBM Guardium Data Protection is that some of its features were deployed by collectors during the installation phase. The solution has collector and aggregator features, license installation, and even server patches that you won't find in other security providers. I like the collector-aggregator capabilities of IBM Guardium Data Protection where you install each component on separate servers, then on the aggregator, you collect all the logs on a central server or central console."
"The most valuable feature for me, in my role as systems DBA, is the expediting of internal and external audits."
"We now have the ability to begin to understand how people, applications, and service accounts are interacting with data to better protect it."
"It tests security to support SOX compliance."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the performance of client monitoring. The other competitors are unable to do this."
"I think IMB's technical support is good."
"Good data encryption and data masking features."
"It sends out an immediate alert when there's suspicious activity."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"It was difficult implementing it, configuring it, getting it up and running and in production. However, since then, I believe it has stabilized."
"The analysis part of this product could be improved. It's a very comprehensive product, so the features it has complement customer requirements. But I would like to see more emphasis on analytics, and it would be great if they added machine learning. They already have analysis insights, but a comprehensive analytical feature that's already incorporated into the solution would be very helpful."
"The solution lacks control over database security."
"One of the limitations that everyone who uses Guardium knows is its ability for back-end reporting. The ability to collect it sometimes is easier than the ability to retrieve it, use it, or give a good representation of it for incidence response or questions which come from the different people who want to use the data."
"Using the data in native Guardium is difficult, at best."
"The installation should be a bit easier."
"The most important requirements for us are integration with new database solutions and the ability to manage things like Jailbreak or something like that. Its reduction feature can also be improved. It has a functionality called reduction, which is like masking data, but it is just a replacement of characters. Sometimes the customer needs more than this. It would be good if it was more advanced or complete. We also have a problem with this solution because the IBM aggregator isn't working very well. IBM has created big data intelligence for Guardium, and occasionally, customers need three or four months of data, but they can't run it from the collectors. It can have a better dashboard and more pre-defined use cases for those customers who don't have any idea about data protection or don't have expert personnel in this area. For example, they can include five use cases for banks and five use cases for retail."
"Deployment process is very complicated as you need to now all advanced parameters. Almost not possible to figure out for yourself."
