Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly
We use the tool to create scenarios for test data. We have different third-party databases that have huge volumes of data The product helps us deal with RDBMS or MongoDB, where we have a large volume of data. It is a valuable product. The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data.…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"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."
"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 interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"It's really easy to install."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"Informatica Test Data Management is a complete solution. I'm not very deep in the technical aspect of the solution, but most of the workflows are now completely automated. There are some minor elements where we have to still add manual parts to the implementation."
"We do not need to write complex SQL statements as the solution provides a GUI to perform activities."
"Organizations working on different projects can benefit from this tool."
"The tool enabled us to leverage Teradata Parallel Transporter to write the masked data efficiently to our Teradata warehouse."
 

Cons

"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"GUI could be improved."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"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."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"Informatica has a data governance suite, and at the moment, there is no connection between the data governance elements, such as the data catalog, and the Informatica Test Data Management software. For example, the data discovery which is part of both solutions is two separate things. If you have a data discovery in the data catalog, then we cannot use it for Informatica Test Data Management purposes and vice versa. The same software vendor, has two different products, with the same functionality. There's was no need to separate things. This is something which was a problem in a use case of the customer where this was the reason why they didn't choose the Informatica solution."
"There is a lag while opening the console, which is a concern from my end."
"The UI experience is a little bit old. When applying more than 80 columns, it means doing it in phases, as it won't allow it in one go."
"Probably the ideal time testing site, utilizing self-service for real-time testing, could be an area for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"I rate the product price seven to eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is the low price, and ten is the high price."
"It's expensive because the license needs to be bought for some time period. It's not pay as you go."
