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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Technical support is good."
"Immediate recovery and data virtualization."
"I would definitely recommend this product for customers who have big databases, big data, and lots of developers."
"It's really easy to install."
"It is a stable solution."
"Perforce Delphix has impacted my organization positively in terms of data virtualization, was very helpful for test data management because the manpower that we needed to manage all the databases and wait for database administrators was really minimized, and was also very helpful in terms of audits and regulation maintenance, so it has really benefited our organization positively."
"Perforce Delphix has positively impacted my organization very well because many enterprises call us for projects to virtualize databases and mask their fields in the database."
"Perforce Delphix has positively impacted my organization by improving efficiency, as the process that used to take almost 48 hours has been reduced by 40 hours due to Perforce Delphix, allowing us to complete our work in just eight hours and reducing one full-time effort of an employee so that person can focus on other areas."
"The best features Perforce Delphix offers are quick and easy production-like database management, as refreshing databases is easy and efficient and has positively impacted my organization by saving considerable time."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"Without a doubt, the most valuable feature of Delphix is VDB provisioning, which has the ability to provision virtual databases and provide us with a huge reduction in storage requirements, enabling us to provision databases on demand at a fraction of the storage requirement that we would have needed without it."
 

Cons

"Backup to tapes is still in demand and it's 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."
"I think that the reporting side is the biggest area which needs improvement and could do with a bit of a refresher."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"Sometimes the complexity of virtualization needs much more documentation, which is what I think could be improved with Perforce Delphix."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"It is hard to answer whether I would advise someone to use Perforce because the market has moved far ahead of Perforce."
"The initial implementation learning curve could be improved, as it is challenging for newcomers to navigate."
"Faster data masking."
"The customer support for Perforce Delphix, based on my experience, is initially not easy to reach, but in the succession stage, it is easy to reach support."
