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.

User access has been managed efficiently and coding tasks are streamlined through secure workflows
Perhaps you should focus mostly on Identity Access Management for Perforce, as the market is heading toward IAM, and it has become mandatory. Additionally, based on my experience, I would suggest trying to use a decentralized approach similar to Git, where when a user clones the repository, it becomes their own repository. This decentralized method is what Git is doing right now, and implementing it might help the company. If you take a decentralized approach to the repository, it would be easier for users. Additionally, implementing Identity Access Management aligned with current cybersecurity tools in the market might also help the company. Focusing in that direction would be beneficial.

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."
"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."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"For the code side, it was very secure, and when it comes to user management, it was very user-friendly; the onboarding process was easy, and adding and managing users was straightforward."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cloning."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"It is a stable solution."
 

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."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"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."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
