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.

Backup storage has shrunk dramatically with deduplication but still needs stronger security options
The air gap feature is something I'd really like to see in QoreStor. There's no native air gap capability right now, and for security-conscious environments, that's a gap. The configuration export is also limited in QoreStor. If you want to document your setup or migrate configuration to a new instance, it requires more manual work than it should.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"By introducing its technology in Poland, we have given several clients an amazing virtualization tool, data masking and containing time machine."
"Perforce Delphix has positively impacted my organization by improving efficiency, as the process that used to take almost 48 hours has been reduced by 40 hours due to Perforce Delphix, allowing us to complete our work in just eight hours and reducing one full-time effort of an employee so that person can focus on other areas."
"It's really easy to install."
"Delphix's data distribution is powerful."
"Overall, the key outcomes have been faster delivery cycles, improved productivity for development and testing teams, reduced storage costs, and better data security."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"Perforce Delphix is a valuable tool that ensures the delivery of compliant data that does not violate data protection policies such as GDPR or HIPAA, thereby protecting customer information while providing high-quality test data that resembles live production data but is masked."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"The dedupe and compression are pretty extreme. On disk, we're getting dedupe rates of up to 65 percent of data and compression of 34 percent. When you go to the cloud, it's more like 76 percent for dedupe and almost 50 percent for compression."
"QoreStor has helped to reduce our backup storage requirements on-premise by at least 90%."
"Overall, it simplifies the management of backup and gives me a more secure feeling that my data is going to be available if I need to retrieve it."
"The extreme compression of data is a big thing for us. We were looking for an online backup solution, and QoreStor is very good in terms of data compression. It helps us minimize the required storage in the Blob Storage environment."
"Not having to be onsite to swap tapes on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, alone, has really paid for its usage through the savings in time."
"Data deduplication and replication would be the top two features. The encryption and cloud tiering are also attractive for the future."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature. It saves us a lot of space. When we back up 100 terabytes of data, after dedupe, it only uses maybe five to six terabytes for the disk space in QoreStor."
"We need revisions and safe backup so that it could be held up in court, but deduplication and compression are the main features why we have Quest QoreStor. That's where it really shines. I use ZFS and XFS at home, and Quest QoreStor is even better."
 

Cons

"Occasionally, issues arise with VDBs, which can become corrupted, making data retrieval impossible and possibly resulting in data loss."
"It is hard to answer whether I would advise someone to use Perforce because the market has moved far ahead of Perforce."
"The initial implementation learning curve could be improved, as it is challenging for newcomers to navigate."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"In terms of improvements for Perforce Delphix, I believe the pricing page should provide more flexibility, as it was costlier before, though I am uncertain about the current pricing structure."
"Faster data masking."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"One challenge we have occasionally faced is troubleshooting complex provisioning or masking issues."
"The installation could use improvement. The initial installation was a little touchy and it's not really user-installable. You have to have a connection to support to install."
"Support is one point of improvement for Quest QoreStor. Support is sometimes not adequate."
"There can be some kind of monitoring solutions to alert users to issues with the appliance or software, making it easy for customers to monitor their systems in the field."
"The importance of support is significant to me. I was working for a service provider, and all of our customers had a Quest or warning. Sometimes the support really underperforms."
"The management interface is in need of improvement. The graphical user interface (GUI) for the web management tools appears clunky, and not super intuitive."
"They need to increase their maximum capacity. Other than that, they're doing a pretty good job."
"The setup of the software is definitely not the easiest thing in the world."
"Overall, I am happy with this solution, but a way to export configuration settings would be beneficial."
 

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."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"The cost is per terabyte, and overall, the cost was reasonable when compared to some competitors."
"Its pricing model is very attractive. You have one price, and you get everything from QoreStor."
"The pricing is good. It is competitive for a managed services provider. I like the ability to pay by the terabyte, allowing for an incremental cost that we and our customers can afford, so the solution grows with the customer."
"Quest QoreStor's pricing is affordable. We evaluated Veeam, a well-known company for backup solutions, but found their pricing to be quite high. Veeam's price was almost double. For us, Quest QoreStor is very affordable."
