We performed a comparison between Delphix and IBM InfoSphere DataStage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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's really easy to install."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"It works with multiple servers and offers high availability."
"The best feature of IBM InfoSphere DataStage for me was that it was very much user-friendly. The solution didn't require that much raw coding because most of its features were drag and drop, plus it had a large number of functionalities."
"We like the flexibility of modeling."
"As a data integration platform, it is easy to use. It is quite robust and useful for volumetric analysis when you have huge volumes of data. We have tested it for up to ten million rows, and it is robust enough to process ten million rows internally with its parallel processing. Its error logging mechanism is far simpler and easier to understand than other data integration tools. The newer version of InfoSphere has the data catalog and IDC lineage. They are helpful in the easy traceability of columns and tables."
"The performance optimization is quite good in DataStage. It provides parallelism and pipelining mechanisms"
"The most valuable feature is the data integration for data warehousing."
"ETL is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"Delphix is a strong solution for virtualization, but it's not strong enough for creating data, so we have to use another solution for creating new data."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"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."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"So, there are some features that are missing. If I compare DataStage to Talend, Talend allows you to write custom code in Java or use these tools in your applications as well if you are building a job application. But in DataStage, it does not allow you to write custom code for any component."
"In terms of intermediate storage, we have some challenges, especially with customers who store data in intermediate locations."
"The graphical user interface (GUI) feels a lot like the interfaces from the 1980s."
"Reduced cost would allow more customers to choose the product. It's quite expensive in relation to the cost of other similar solutions."
"The setup is extremely difficult."
"It would be great if they can include some basic version of data quality checking features."
"The interface needs improvement."
"The interface needs work to be more user-friendly."
Delphix is ranked 1st in Test Data Management with 15 reviews while IBM InfoSphere DataStage is ranked 7th in Data Integration with 37 reviews. Delphix is rated 8.0, while IBM InfoSphere DataStage is rated 7.8. The top reviewer of Delphix writes "Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly". On the other hand, the top reviewer of IBM InfoSphere DataStage writes "User-friendly with a lot of functions for transmission rules, but has slow performance and not suitable for a huge volume of data". Delphix is most compared with Informatica Test Data Management (TDM), Denodo, Broadcom Test Data Manager, IBM InfoSphere Optim Test Data Management (TDM) and Actifio, whereas IBM InfoSphere DataStage is most compared with SSIS, IBM Cloud Pak for Data, Azure Data Factory, Talend Open Studio and Informatica PowerCenter.
