BI Project Manager/ Scrum Master at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Easy to set up and can integrate with cyber recovery solutions but is only for Google Cloud
The initial setup is straightforward. I'd rate the experience eight out of ten. Time-wise, maybe within a couple of hours, everything should be up and running. You need to have good planning to have network communication between your VPCs where your workloads reside and where your backup appliance resides. Good planning is required connectivity-wise. In terms of authentication, you need to plan what level of authentication is required for what level of users. These are the two main things that need to be taken care of at the outset. From the integrator side, one guy should be enough to deploy the product. Once it is operational and handed over, it's up to the customer to handle the product, to maintain the product.

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

Pros

"I would definitely recommend this product for customers who have big databases, big data, and lots of developers."
"Perforce Delphix has made a huge impact in my projects in terms of time saving."
"Perforce Delphix has positively impacted my organization very well because many enterprises call us for projects to virtualize databases and mask their fields in the database."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"It is a stable solution."
"Delphix support is second to none."
"Our ROI is over $1Mil a year."
"Perforce Delphix has positively impacted our organization by reducing the time it takes to do non-production environment data refreshes from weeks to hours, which has saved a lot of time for the teams; we were completely agile from top to bottom, enabling us to deliver quick turnaround and significant benefits to our teams, delivering value to the business—it was an excellent investment."

Cons

"Backup to tapes is still in demand and it's not supported."
"As of now, it's predominantly meant for Google Cloud. It would be good if it could be extended to other clouds as well."

"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."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"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."
