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."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"Delphix support is second to none."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"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."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"If the price is good for your budget, don’t miss it, it makes your life easier than before."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
 

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 integration with VMware vRealize Orchestrator isn't smooth."
"I think that the reporting side is the biggest area which needs improvement and could do with a bit of a refresher."
"It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"The initial implementation learning curve could be improved, as it is challenging for newcomers to navigate."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"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."
