Perforce Delphix Valuable Features

Some of the best features of Perforce Delphix include its automation of sensitive data discovery and masking with referential integrity for Aurora and RDS, as well as support for diverse data sources including Oracle, SQL, SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. Additionally, its GUI workflows simplify the creation and scheduling of masking jobs and enhance data governance in cloud hybrid and on-premises environments.

Perforce Delphix can deliver up to 25 terabytes of data in just minutes, making it approximately 100 times faster for development and testing needs.

Perforce Delphix has positively impacted my organization by saving us 70 to 80% of the time, which has enabled us to complete data sprints earlier, and it has also helped reduce costs. The time to complete one story point has decreased from 10 hours to around 4 or 5 hours, leading to substantial cost savings. Furthermore, it's effective in managing scaled agile enterprise data management, as we orchestrate and govern masking jobs across multiple teams and agile release trains to ensure data privacy standards are maintained.

The best features Perforce offers from my experience are user administration and code management. Both the user administration and code management made those features useful in my day-to-day work. Everything has its own pros and cons. For the code side, it was very secure, and when it comes to user management, it was very user-friendly. The onboarding process was easy, and adding and managing users was straightforward.

Regarding specific outcomes or metrics, such as time saved or reduced errors, I noticed improvements were quite direct. Code check-in, check-out, and all those command line operations were fine. The UI was easy to access. If I were to see the current upgraded version of your tool, I might be able to evaluate what the past looked like compared to what the current version offers. However, based on what I know from my experience, that is what I can comment on.

I have been using Perforce Delphix, the Helix version, for more than four years since I joined Synopsys. Perforce Delphix is the primary CI/CD and source control version management system here.

Perforce Delphix is used for our products, and even though Git is also available, we primarily use Perforce Delphix for one set of products. The best aspect of Perforce Delphix is the multi-modality and the ability to handle a large number of files along with decades of commit history since the inception of Synopsys. This gives us a huge advantage of something well-established compared to other tools, which makes Perforce Delphix a significant advantage. An example would be the standard CI/CD pipeline that goes from development to production branches.

The branching and merging process in our CI/CD pipeline does not have anything particularly unique; however, the advantage is that Perforce Delphix is able to handle a large number of files. I would say that it is able to handle thousands of files.

The most standout feature of Perforce Delphix is its ability to have multiple change lists, which is something Git does not have in a single sandbox version in a single client. Perforce Delphix has this ability and the capability to move changes from one client to another client. These are some of the standout features.

The solution's most valuable feature is data cloning. Once we have the rules established, we can clone the data as if it were equivalent to production data. The solution's data masking features reduced the risk of accessing production data, reducing incidents related to data privacy by at least 50%.

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.

Without a doubt, the most valuable feature of Delphix is VDB provisioning. That feature has the ability to provision virtual databases and provide us with a huge reduction in storage requirements. In fact, it enables us to provision databases on demand at a fraction of the storage requirement that we would have needed without it.

Then there's the feature that enables us to rewind and create environments from snapshots of other environments and parent-child relationships. In general, we found everything around VDB provisioning and virtual databases to be exceptionally awesome. In my 20 years as an Oracle VBA, it's changed the landscape drastically.

It's user-friendly. It's really easy to install.

Delphix as a company has a lot of legal information that is very helpful for customers.

We have a big customer in Mexico that has been working with Delphix for 40 years, and in all those years, we have not had the request to make a support ticket for Delphix.

As partners, we find it's very good for business, not just for the IT area. The benefits are really good for the business of the company in general.

We find the most valuable to be the Delphix Virtualization and Snapshot features. It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA.
