Managing Director at VarniTech Solution Pvt. Ltd.
It simplifies managing large volumes of data and the support is prompt
I rate Hitachi Data Instance Director 10 out of 10. I would recommend it depending on your requirements. If you have a larger and more complex operation, data availability and retention will give you a headache HDID is what you need. Enterprises with a large data volume and high business complexity, should absolutely go for HDID to get some peace of mind.

Release Train Engineer at a tech vendor with 1-10 employees
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

"We are a bit restless. When we need things, we need them yesterday. Hitachi was the only company who responded quickly with the POC, proposals and technical discussions. When we have asked other vendors to provide a technical solution, they were a bit late, and we were in hurry."
"Enterprises with a large data volume and high business complexity should absolutely go for HDID to get some peace of mind."
"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."
"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."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"Perforce Delphix has positively impacted my organization as the migration became fast, because earlier migration took four months to migrate our data from prod to non-prod, and now it is just a one-day or two-day task."
"Perforce Delphix has positively impacted my organization by reducing the time it takes to create the database, as the creation of D-source and VDBs is completed in five to ten minutes, which represents a significant time reduction."
"I have obtained a very large gain in database virtualization with Perforce Delphix, as I can deliver environments very quickly, in a matter of hours or even minutes depending on the size of the production database I want to replicate, and the storage savings are also very large, as Perforce Delphix is able to compress the data and provide very significant savings for my company."
"The most valuable aspect is the product is easy to manage, with a good dashboard. We can easily configure it on the front end and back end."
 

Cons

"The integration with VMware vRealize Orchestrator isn't smooth. It works, but we still need to go back and forth on certain technical aspects."
"I face different challenges every day on all of the projects, and I see different bugs and problems, so every day I try a new challenge."
"I believe the data generation part should be included in Perforce Delphix, as it would be helpful for other organizations as well."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"When it comes to unstructured and structured data, if Delphix can comply with the requirements for most of the structured data, it would be good, especially if it can include the data scanning part."
"I think that the reporting side is the biggest area which needs improvement and could do with a bit of a refresher."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"GUI could be improved."
