Room For Improvement

Oracle Data Guard is complex with high costs, insufficient documentation, technical issues, and needs better integration, monitoring, and regional support.

Perforce Delphix seeks enhanced interface, storage, AWS integration, DevOps features, file handling, identity management, and pricing improvements.

It could benefit from more automated features that notify via email if the disaster recovery or primary side fails.

Valuable Features

Oracle Data Guard provides reliable, easy-to-maintain data protection, high availability, and disaster recovery with robust integrity, security, and performance.

Delphix excels with data provisioning, masking, user-friendly management, and supports CI/CD pipelines, enhancing data handling efficiency.

Active Data Guard is the most valuable feature. We use the secondary side for reporting purposes, which reduces the load on the primary side.

Perforce Delphix can deliver up to 25 terabytes of data in just minutes, making it approximately 100 times faster for development and testing needs.

Priyanshu k

The most standout feature of Perforce Delphix is its ability to have multiple change lists, which is something Git does not have in a single sandbox version in a single client.

Sharathp Sherep

Sr Engineer at Synopsys Inc

For the code side, it was very secure, and when it comes to user management, it was very user-friendly.

Featured Reviews

AdnanNaseem

Principal DB A at a computer software company with 201-500 employees

Active data protection has ensured high availability and supports seamless reporting workloads

In my opinion, Active Data Guard is the most valuable feature. We use the secondary side for reporting purposes, which reduces the load on the primary side. Oracle Data Guard includes functions such as automatic failover, but we use manual managed failover. After some months, we converted our primary to secondary and secondary to primary. Oracle Data Guard is effective in minimizing data loss and provides a good solution for that. The main benefits of Oracle Data Guard include minimizing data loss during a production failure. It is used for maximum availability when paired with Oracle RAC, so if any disruption occurs, we have an alternative Data Guard to convert our load to the disaster recovery site. Oracle Data Guard maintains a high level of data integrity by using archive logs. When a transaction happens, redo logs create archive logs, which are then applied on the disaster recovery side, ensuring that both databases are synchronized.

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.
