What advice do you have for others considering Delphix?

We use Perforce Delphix's virtualization feature to clone databases in minutes without duplicating any storage. We clone databases in certain environments for specific requirements without duplicating storage. When it comes to cloud integration, we work across AWS and Azure, as well as VMware, in hybrid environments where we integrate between our internal tools and Perforce Delphix. Regarding Perforce Delphix's governance and security, it has a high level of built-in masking and encryption that reduces compliance risk. The security is very secure and safe to use in any sector, including banking, healthcare, and insurance industries. The security features make it an excellent tool to implement. Regarding Perforce Delphix's capabilities, it has maintained reliability and accuracy over many years. Perforce Delphix provides reliable data while maintaining proper risk factors. It delivers reliable data based on masking configurations and remains safe. I do not see any issues with compliance. I would recommend Perforce Delphix to anyone seeking daily masking capabilities and data virtualization, particularly those in the banking and healthcare sectors with sensitive data elements. Perforce Delphix would be a versatile tool to use in the market compared to other tools. I rate this product 9 out of 10.

One challenge we have occasionally faced is troubleshooting complex provisioning or masking issues. While Perforce Delphix provides good logging, having more detailed diagnostics, root cause analysis recommendations, and guided troubleshooting workflows would help administrators resolve issues faster. The biggest improvement I would like to see is better troubleshooting and reporting. When an issue occurs, more intelligent diagnostics and recommendations could reduce resolution time. I would appreciate more customizable dashboards and stronger automation around data discovery and masking configuration. Those enhancements would make an already strong platform even easier to manage at scale. My advice would be to start with a clear business problem, invest in proper implementation planning, and take advantage of both the virtualization and masking engine capabilities. Organizations that do this typically see faster provisioning, better data security, and significant productivity gains. I would rate this product a nine out of ten.

Perforce Delphix is a good tool, and I would give this advice to others looking into using it. I give this product a rating of 10.

My advice to others looking into using Perforce Delphix is to make sure that the use cases driving a Perforce Delphix virtualization and/or Perforce Delphix data de-identification project are a good match for Perforce Delphix capabilities. I haven't seen the full explanation of governance and security in Perforce Delphix's AI, so I cannot comment on its governance and security. The AI capabilities are currently mid-flight, so I cannot comment on their accuracy and reliability of output. I would rate this review a 9 out of 10.

Regarding Perforce Delphix's governance and security, it is good. It uses proper profiling sets to identify the PIIs or PHIs, whichever are sensitive data. It is also customizable, and Perforce Delphix offers that ability too. I can customize how the data can be identified. That is positive. Accuracy regarding Perforce Delphix depends on the applications, the type of data, or the type of metadata that each source data comes in as. Accuracy, from what I have seen, is around 80 to 85%. The rest of the 15% is what I still do manually. I analyze and check if I missed any sensitive data. I still do some manual assessment. An accuracy of 80 to 85% is good. I would rate this review an 8 overall.

My advice for others considering Perforce Delphix is that if you are dealing with production database validation or related use cases and struggling with database storage, size, and pricing, Perforce Delphix is a good option. Especially for large organizations where multiple teams are working on the same data set and there are multiple features being released, Perforce Delphix offers a solid solution for logical data separation. I am not using Perforce Delphix right now, but I was using it in my previous organization for one year. I am uncertain about Perforce Delphix's AI capabilities, particularly concerning governance and security, as I have not worked much in that area. Regarding the accuracy and reliability of Perforce Delphix's AI output, I have not had any experience with that and might need to explore it further. I would rate this review an eight overall.

At the company I used to work, we had these three products that have been used for over ten years, so they definitely have many nice features, as I explained, including VDB virtualization and mapping really large data sets in production into a very small storage footprint that helps to build our capability in non-production environments; Perforce Delphix is also used for functional testing, static masking, and engine-based masking or outside the engine databases that can be masked as well. Perforce Delphix AI capabilities include the introduction of the MCP server in its newer version, which enhances the masking capabilities and reduces the burden on users to come up with their own algorithms; this feature is excellent for speeding up processes. In my organization, we had an on-premises deployment of Perforce Delphix. When looking into using Perforce Delphix, potential users need to understand its capabilities; it is excellent for static masking but lacks dynamic masking, which is crucial for some use cases. It also provides robust integration options, but the choice between on-prem and cloud solutions should align with the user's specific requirements for maximizing benefits and efficiency in automation and AI. Overall, I believe we have covered a lot regarding Perforce Delphix; I have spent ten years working with it and find that it is particularly beneficial for banks and large financial institutions, making it a solid choice for those running agile platforms. I would give Perforce Delphix a rating of eight out of ten.

My advice for others looking into using Perforce Delphix is to come with an open mind. Every tool will have its own highs and lows. You just need to know its strengths and weaknesses and adjust your strategy based on your environment. You should know prior to implementation whether Perforce Delphix looks good for your needs or not. I would rate Perforce Delphix an eight on a scale of one to ten.

I purchased Perforce Delphix through the AWS Marketplace. We use AWS as our cloud provider. Perforce Delphix integrates really well with other AWS services. While some API knowledge is required to automate masking and provisioning, it seamlessly fits into our AWS environments without compatibility issues during all stages of development. The procurement process for us was efficient and aligned well with our requirements, taking a minimal amount of time. My experience with the metering and billing of Perforce Delphix has been very positive. The costs are effective compared to alternatives including Informatica data masking, IBM InfoSphere, and others, leading me to rate it 10 out of 10 in this regard. Overall, I rate this product and my experience with it as excellent.

I never used Perforce Delphix. I only used the Perforce version control tool, which was around eight or nine years ago. We were checking in code and doing builds from there using Jenkins for build and deployment. I never used Perforce Delphix. Maybe this sounds odd because it is a version control tool and there is nothing more to define about it. It is simply a version control tool where you secure your code. Based on my experience, it was fine. However, I do not know how far you have updated the tool since it has been 10 years, so I cannot comment on the current state because I did not use it recently. Maybe single sign-on would be a useful feature. I do not remember the specific tool name, but that is just a suggestion. It is hard to answer whether I would advise someone to use Perforce because the market has moved far ahead of Perforce. I have not used Perforce recently, so it is hard for me to advise anyone to use it. Without knowing much about the current state, I cannot advise someone. I am not the right person to advise on this matter. Overall, I would rate this review an 8.

We are the solution service integrator. We implement and manage Delphix for the customer. The solution's data virtualization capabilities have resulted in a 30% improvement in velocity, a 50% reduction in incidents related to data security, and an overall 20% reduction in efforts related to test data. Delphix is deployed on-premises or in the client's private cloud, which can also be classified as on-premises. Identifying the use cases was challenging because every stakeholder had their unique use cases. We had to baseline the use cases because we couldn't accommodate all of them within the pilot phase. In terms of the required support, the business users needed to support the pilot phase, which was another challenge. We had to get all the business teams together in one place and agree on the scope. Then, it was more of learning on the job. There was a continuous learning process, and we had to adapt and learn on the fly. I would recommend Delphix to other users because the company is good and very supportive. The solution has a user-friendly interface, and the support team is also quite proactive. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Delphix is actually meant for data masking. Speaking about how my company uses the tool for DevOps workflows, I would say that my company has a Jenkins pipeline, and we write all the scripts, after which the onboarding is completed in Delphix. In our company, we have a service process between the producers and the consumers. Once the onboarding is done, all the rules and data masking are taken care of, which is like a one-time deal. Unless the data structure changes, my company used to go to Collibra and get the schema to ensure that the requested fields were there in the schema, after which we used to read the data specific to that catalog and then mask it. The script gets triggered by Jenkins. I have no doubts about how the solution provides and ensures data compliance and security. My company has been using Delphix for quite some time now. Initially, my company didn't have to deal with any big data. After my company had a requirement to deal with the big data in relation to its migration to the cloud, we had tons and tons of data coming in, owing to which we had to deploy the big data kind of a cluster like Delphix. My company has unstructured, structured, and some semi-structured data as well to do the masking, but we are able to deal with only a few such data and not with all of it. I have no problems with relational databases. In semi-structured data, I do have problems, but not with all of them, including data in Word and PDFs. Delphix has been the most valuable in improving data operations, predominantly in the area of data masking from higher to lower. Delphix's virtual data infrastructure has impacted our company's data management processes really well, especially whenever we want to deal with the area of testing in data science and wherever we need to write the models while taking data from a higher environment to the lower environment, maintaining the data masking posture, following the industry regulations and work in compliance with the security guidelines, which helped us tremendously, to fit the tool into our architecture framework. My company has an agreement with Delphix to take care of the maintenance of the product. One person from my company will take care of the maintenance. I recommend the product to other people who want to use it. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

My advice depends on an organization’s needs. If an organization has a large volume of data, Delphix is a good choice. It is robust and very efficient with large volumes of data and different kinds of databases. If someone is looking for a one-stop solution with all features and capabilities, they must consider a different tool. Overall, I rate the product a six or seven out of ten.

I recommend the solution to others and rate it as a ten.

I would rate Delphix an eight out of ten.

I rate Delphix eight out of 10. There are lots of other cloud-native masking that are partnered with AWS, Azure, and GCP. I believe Delphix began a partnership with Dell recently. I'm not sure where that's going, but it may help Delphix climb the ladder and become more of a cloud product. Right now, cloud-native solutions like Datadog and others that are moving up on Gartner's are capturing that business. Delphix hasn't entered the fray yet, and I don't know why. I think it's partially the leadership and marketing. Before implementing Delphix, you should ensure that it works within the cloud environment in your use case. Typically, you need to do a proof of conept for two or three weeks to test it out on your strategic use case.

I am a Delphix distributor. I'm a partner of Delphix. We tend to use the most up-to-date version of the solution. I would advise potential new users to take care and have good architecture set up for the platform. I’d rate the product ten out of ten. It’s an excellent solution.

I rate Delphix eight out of 10. I advise potential users to understand the tool's technical capabilities to how to implement it within your company's internal security framework. You need to understand the solution and how to adapt it according to your constraints. This is the biggest challenge.

I haven't been exposed to anything else out there that's similar, but from the reading that I've done it seems that a lot of people have found Delphix offers quite a bit. At the end of the day, I think it's awesome technology. We have people managing it now that are not even experienced or certified for Oracle resources. It's quite an easy technology to implement and then maintain, and using it is also quite easy. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Overall, this is a good product and I can recommend it, but there is always room for improvement. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I am really satisfied with this solution and I will rate it an eight out of ten. In the next version I would, however, like to see improved data generation for virtual databases.
