Perforce Delphix has impacted my organization positively in terms of data virtualization, was very helpful for test data management because the manpower that we needed to manage all the databases and wait for database administrators was really minimized, and was also very helpful in terms of audits and regulation maintenance, so it has really benefited our organization positively.

I have obtained a very large gain in database virtualization with Perforce Delphix, as I can deliver environments very quickly, in a matter of hours or even minutes depending on the size of the production database I want to replicate, and the storage savings are also very large, as Perforce Delphix is able to compress the data and provide very significant savings for my company.

If the data is unique and cannot be masked using the Perforce Delphix built-in algorithms, creating customized algorithms as per the requirement becomes difficult.

There are still some areas in Perforce Delphix needing improvement, particularly in the data quality aspects, which I provided feedback on during my time using Perforce Delphix; products like Collibra or Informatica are leaders in data quality, covering six dimensions including accuracy and completeness, which are missing in Perforce Delphix.
