BI Project Manager/ Scrum Master at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees
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.

Automated data masking and provisioning has improved compliance and accelerated secure testing workflows across cloud environments
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.

Cons

"Backup to tapes is not supported."
"As of now, it's predominantly meant for Google Cloud. It would be good if it could be extended to other clouds as well."
