Easy to set up and can integrate with cyber recovery solutions but is only for Google Cloud
The initial setup is straightforward. I'd rate the experience eight out of ten. Time-wise, maybe within a couple of hours, everything should be up and running. You need to have good planning to have network communication between your VPCs where your workloads reside and where your backup appliance resides. Good planning is required connectivity-wise. In terms of authentication, you need to plan what level of authentication is required for what level of users. These are the two main things that need to be taken care of at the outset. From the integrator side, one guy should be enough to deploy the product. Once it is operational and handed over, it's up to the customer to handle the product, to maintain the product.

User access has been managed efficiently and coding tasks are streamlined through secure workflows
Perhaps you should focus mostly on Identity Access Management for Perforce, as the market is heading toward IAM, and it has become mandatory. Additionally, based on my experience, I would suggest trying to use a decentralized approach similar to Git, where when a user clones the repository, it becomes their own repository. This decentralized method is what Git is doing right now, and implementing it might help the company. If you take a decentralized approach to the repository, it would be easier for users. Additionally, implementing Identity Access Management aligned with current cybersecurity tools in the market might also help the company. Focusing in that direction would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Immediate recovery and data virtualization."
"Technical support is good."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"It's really easy to install."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cloning."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"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."

Cons

"As of now, it's predominantly meant for Google Cloud. It would be good if it could be extended to other clouds as well."

"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."

"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
