We performed a comparison between Delphix and IBM Security Guardium Data Protection 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."Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"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."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"One of the most valuable features is the accelerator. It has a predefined report for PCI SOX compliance and other compliances."
"It provides us regulatory compliance proof and evidence for audit."
"We also use IBM Guardium to support security initiatives and compliance policies. For example, our audit area can verify if someone has access to information that they shouldn't have, for their regular job functions."
"Setting up Guardium was easy and straightforward."
"From the perspective of analysis and prevention, this product is pretty accurate."
"I like the reporting mechanism. It's very good."
"Security policy enforcement of policy-based encryption and centralized encryption key management allows us to maintain data in a secure environment."
"The most valuable feature is using the capture operation mode “S-TAP/K-TAP agent”, because all activities in the database are captured, including direct access to the database server by privileged users. This is useful because, even if the database server logs were deleted, the Guardium Collector has already stored such data to enable traceability of access."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"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."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"GUI could be improved."
"Needs nore cloud support."
"Since we are resellers we do not have enough information about the technical aspects and the areas of improvement. However, one consistent report that we receive from our customers is that IBM does not offer timely support due to the size of the organisation. It would be great if they could improve their response time."
"The backup and recovery is very resource-hungry and requires a huge amount of storage capacity."
"Flexibility could be improved."
"Sometimes the connectors to the databases need to be manually updated and we have to configure them again, which is something that should be improved."
"There are features like end-to-end and S-TAP mapping, and the ability to install policies for your configuration builder. They're not there, but we'd like to see them in the next version."
"The price of this solution is quite high for smaller organizations, so they should release a version that is affordable for small and medium-sized businesses."
"The deployment is complex and requires expertise to deploy."
