Find out what your peers are saying about Delphix, Broadcom, DATPROF and others in Data Masking."The product is very stable and flexible. The product masks data throughout the entire structure. It helps us to work in a differential integrity environment. We conducted testing directly on our production environment in the past, but that’s no longer the case. We can now work with actual data in a production-like setting without production data. The shift to non-production data for testing and development has significantly improved our workflow."
"The ability to collect the data without database administers being able to modify it."
"The vulnerability assessment is a valuable feature."
"The tech support is very knowledgeable."
"There are different modules but the most valuable ones are firewalling and masking. Additionally, the auditing of the entire database is helpful, which includes all the activity of the database users and administrators. We can monitor everything and log as well."
"It's made database monitoring more visible to the business, creating more conversations about how we should do it better."
"It does not require our involvement to run it. It runs in the background and the people that do the reporting do so. The reports go to the directors who are in charge of the various data areas. It's pretty clean. Clearly there is some setup, but after you get it set up it just goes."
"he solution offers trouble-free access."
"Satisfies audit requests, to give us an idea if anybody is accessing our privileged user IDs without our knowledge."
"We have encountered challenges with different intgrity structures. In my experience, I’ve encountered challenges with implementing business cases. While the product remains stable, translating its use cases can be more complex. This involves both technical and functional considerations."
"It was difficult implementing it, configuring it, getting it up and running and in production. However, since then, I believe it has stabilized."
"Deployment process is very complicated as you need to now all advanced parameters. Almost not possible to figure out for yourself."
"More automation, user guides, and tips would make this solution better."
"The one thing that I would like to see improved, but I don't think it's going to be in the next release, is its reporting capabilities. I think that's been offloaded to another third-party product that I think IBM actually endorses for that."
"Needs nore cloud support."
"I am struggling getting through to social."
"It needs an integration with Optum."
"There could be a feature to integrate and protect multiple databases. The local support services need improvements as well."
