We performed a comparison between Broadcom Test Data Manager and Delphix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Data Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The data generation is one of the most valuable features because we are able to write a lot of rules. We have some specific rules here in Turkey, for example, Turkish ID IBAN codes for banks."
"It saves us time from generating the same amount of data in real-time."
"Data privatization (GDPR enable), synthetic test data generation, and test data provisioning are its main interesting features."
"Broadcom TDM's best feature is the self-service portal."
"The combination of extract, mask, and load, along with synthetic data, is what is generally needed by any of our clients, and CA TDM has really good compatibility in both of the areas."
"TDM allows us to find the right test data for the test that we need, and then it also allows us to get the required data inputs into our API test, so that we can do a full test."
"It allows us to create a testing environment that is repeatable. And we can manage the data so that our testing becomes automated, everything from actually performing the testing to also evaluating the results."
"What I find to be most valuable is its ability to do synthetic data creation. I love that because it has a lot of flexibility and you do not have to worry about one specific database or how you are going to manage all the data points."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"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."
"We are using a specific database. We are not using Oracle or SQL, Microsoft. We are using Teradata. There are some things that they don't have in their software. For example, when delivering data, they are not delivering them in the fastest possible way. There are some things which are faster."
"Broadcom TDM takes a long time to import documents, which wastes time that could be spent on other things."
"Needs a better fit and finish."
"They could make it easier to model databases, because right now it is really technical, so to train someone on it takes a while."
"A lot of research, data analysis, and work needs to be done on the source system in the tool which requires a data expert. This tool definitely requires a senior person to work on this issue, as it might be a challenge for a tester."
"They should make the Portal a little more user-friendly, make it even easier to configure things directly from the Portal."
"The integration with various utilities is also really important. That still has to happen. That's a major area for improvement."
"I would request to extend the data source support because there are a lot of cloud-native SaaS-based solutions in the market. Like, Azure has its data sources, Amazon-specific data sources, and there are a lot of proprietary data sources outside as well. I recommend the team to expand the data source support."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"GUI could be improved."
"Delphix is a strong solution for virtualization, but it's not strong enough for creating data, so we have to use another solution for creating new data."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
