It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline. Right now, we have to trigger the jobs and then integrate them with DevOps, which requires some manual effort. The ideal state would be to have the ability to integrate with the DevOps pipeline. There is a mainframe virtualization for which Delphix already has a partner. Mainframe virtualization is an important use case, and it would be good if it could be given as a package.
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 tool is useful for data masking. If I have a repository or if I give the repository to the tool, and if it scans all the data to figure out if there is any kind of PII/NPI data, I think it will make the tool full and complete.
The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly. It must give more capabilities to the user. Virtual database capabilities should be added to future releases.

One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating. I would also like to see better integration with the AWS environment and other solutions.

I don't personally use Delphix. I use it in the context of jobs for my customers. I have provided feedback to Delphix to let them know what my current customers need and ways to improve the product. However, it's not something I can say more about because this is confidential.

I'd like to see some improvement on the reporting side, but we haven't had the opportunity to delve into that right now because we're in transition to a new company structure. We've been using mission control, the reporting aspects, and I would appreciate having more when it comes to rich reporting capabilities. On the whole, I think that the reporting side is the biggest area which needs improvement and could do with a bit of a refresher. That said, I'm on the management level and have only worked with reporting when issues arise whereas those who work with it on a day-to-day basis, may have other features they'd like to see. We've had some discussions with Delphix regarding the ability to do cross-platform migrations, something we are very interested in. If you have Delphix on an AIX or Spark machine with a large endian database architecture and you want to run your CDBs on a small architecture or vice versa, it should be possible to do a conversion. That's currently not the case. Other than that, there's not much more they could improve.

This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution. Everything can be stored on the platform but it is mostly used for the database and database virtualization. If they put everything on the storage then they would not need separate storage for other applications.
The Product Roadmap is going quite well. GUI could be improved. Other than that, Delphix as a product is a really good one. We're very happy using it. The support teams are very good and responsive. Should I say that it needs improvement? But it does not. I have worked with many different support teams over the years and so far the Delphix Support Team is the best.

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 is a software company that specializes in data virtualization and data management solutions. The company's primary product is the Delphix Dynamic Data Platform, which enables organizations to streamline data operations and accelerate application development.
Delphix focuses on solving data challenges faced by enterprises, such as data provisioning, data masking, data integration, and data versioning. The platform works by creating virtual copies of data, known as "data pods," which...

Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling.
As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms.

My only complaint about this solution is the price.
Faster data masking.
