Room For Improvement

NetApp SnapCenter needs interface improvements, better integration, enhanced performance, and user-friendly documentation to address management and compatibility issues.
Perforce Delphix needs faster data masking, better GUI, cross-platform migration, reporting, usability, AWS integration, pricing, and error handling improvements.
It should be more user-friendly and easier for customers to use.
IT Technical Architect at AVALIS
Focus mostly on Identity Access Management for Perforce, as the market is heading toward IAM, and it has become mandatory.
DevOps Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

NetApp SnapCenter often includes licensing with hardware purchases, offering cost-effective solutions with Standard and Advanced Capacity licenses.
Perforce Delphix pricing is seen as expensive but discounts and storage savings make it comparable to Broadcom Test Data Manager.
The product should be free because it is just software to administrate systems purchased from NetApp, which are already expensive.
IT Technical Architect at AVALIS
I felt the pricing was a little higher at that time, which is what I heard from my boss.

Has reduced backup time for large workloads and supports smooth workload migration
Role-based access control and multi-factor authentication are security features available in NetApp SnapCenter. The one-time password comes to our multi-factor authentication tool; we work with Cisco Duo, and that OTP is generated through that tool, which we use to access the device. There are different options through which we can migrate workloads without downtime. The user interface is very easy to handle and not complicated. There are multiple features that make NetApp SnapCenter valuable. In case of any job failure, we get an alert over email. For jobs replicating from site A to site B, we know how long it will take to complete that replication. All that information is available in the console, and there aren't any difficulties or objections that need to be improved.

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.
