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 Flash Ai
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's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"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."
"Our ROI is over $1Mil a year."
"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."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"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."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
 

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."
"Occasionally, issues arise with VDBs, which can become corrupted, making data retrieval impossible and possibly resulting in data loss."
"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."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"One challenge we have occasionally faced is troubleshooting complex provisioning or masking issues."
"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."
"The initial implementation learning curve could be improved, as it is challenging for newcomers to navigate."
"I believe the data generation part should be included in Perforce Delphix, as it would be helpful for other organizations as well."
"I feel that Perforce Delphix could use improvements in certain areas."
