"Organizations working on different projects can benefit from this tool.""The tool enabled us to leverage Teradata Parallel Transporter to write the masked data efficiently to our Teradata warehouse.""Informatica Test Data Management is a complete solution. I'm not very deep in the technical aspect of the solution, but most of the workflows are now completely automated. There are some minor elements where we have to still add manual parts to the implementation."

Cons
"My only complaint about this solution is the price.""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.""Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option.""The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly.""The solution's price needs improvement.""Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities.""GUI could be improved.""One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."

More Delphix Cons →

"The UI experience is a little bit old. When applying more than 80 columns, it means doing it in phases, as it won't allow it in one go.""Probably the ideal time testing site, utilizing self-service for real-time testing, could be an area for improvement.""Informatica has a data governance suite, and at the moment, there is no connection between the data governance elements, such as the data catalog, and the Informatica Test Data Management software. For example, the data discovery which is part of both solutions is two separate things. If you have a data discovery in the data catalog, then we cannot use it for Informatica Test Data Management purposes and vice versa. The same software vendor, has two different products, with the same functionality. There's was no need to separate things. This is something which was a problem in a use case of the customer where this was the reason why they didn't choose the Informatica solution."
