Perforce Delphix can be optimized. There are things that I can improve in terms of speed or new features, but what Perforce Delphix has today meets my company's needs very well and meets the requirements perfectly. The application is very complete and very easy to handle. I do not have any points to highlight that need improvement. I believe we can adjust a few things here and there, such as speed in integrating some functionalities, but nothing specific. Perforce Delphix is a very complete tool.
I feel that Perforce Delphix could use improvements in certain areas. Some data has specific requirements around data control towers, security and compliance enhancements, performance boosts, and cloud-native deployments. Expanded platform capabilities could also be beneficial. One area I feel needs development is ensuring that enterprises align with controlled DevOps deployments. A recent example of improvement I implemented was enhanced support for cloud-native DevOps workflows, which reduced risk and onboarding delays.

Overall, my experience with Perforce Delphix has been positive, but there are a few areas where it could be improved. The first area is the user interface and user experience. While the platform is powerful, some administration and configuration tasks can have a learning curve for a new user. A more intuitive UI and guided workflows would help accelerate onboarding. Another area is reporting and monitoring. More built-in dashboards, analytics, and customizable reports would make it easier to track environment usage, storage savings, job performance, and compliance metrics without relying on external tools. I also think there is an opportunity to further enhance cloud-native integration and automation capabilities. As organizations increasingly adopt hybrid and cloud environments, deeper integration with modern DevOps and CI/CD ecosystems would provide additional value. That said, these are enhancement opportunities rather than major concerns. The core capabilities around virtualization, masking, and test data management are strong and continue to deliver significant value to our teams. One challenge we have occasionally faced is troubleshooting complex provisioning or masking issues. While Perforce Delphix provides good logging, having more detailed diagnostics, root cause analysis recommendations, and guided troubleshooting workflows would help administrators resolve issues faster. The biggest improvement I would like to see is better troubleshooting and reporting. When an issue occurs, more intelligent diagnostics and recommendations could reduce resolution time. I would appreciate more customizable dashboards and stronger automation around data discovery and masking configuration. Those enhancements would make an already strong platform even easier to manage at scale.
The application of AI and the ability for the AI agent to help with the install of Perforce Delphix appliances and automation of the data de-identification jobs could greatly benefit from AI capabilities. We would like to see improvements in the network and firewall connectivity between the Perforce Delphix engine and the databases. Sometimes the complexity of virtualization needs much more documentation, which is what I think could be improved with Perforce Delphix.
A challenging aspect would be when I have any customized algorithm requirement with Perforce Delphix. 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. A few challenges I faced were having consistent masked address data, such as address line one, address line two, city, state, and zip code remaining consistent after masking in case the data goes through an address validator. That is one of the challenges I faced. Perforce Delphix has, over the last five years, come a long way. In my experience, there have been many upgrades and version updates. Perforce Delphix has been growing consistently. Another thing that Perforce Delphix could probably add is synthetic data generation. That is one thing many companies require because some companies do not have access to production data or are not allowed to use production data. If along with virtualization, Perforce Delphix's virtualization and masking capabilities, synthetic data generation could be added, it could be a comprehensive package and would help organizations that want to use a hybrid form of securing data. That would be helpful, including synthetic data generation. Synthetic data generation would help organizations that want to use a hybrid form of securing data, including virtualization, masking, and synthetic data generation wherever data is not available. That would help Perforce Delphix to be a complete package for test data management activities. If Perforce Delphix could also include the ability to generate synthetic data, it would be a complete package and can be utilized in organizations.

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.
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. Although it was good for automation and agility, the lack of data quality features is a significant gap. User experience in Perforce Delphix has improved quite a bit from previous years, making it easier for individuals with just a couple of years of experience to work with it. However, when refreshing production systems, the ability to selectively refresh at a schema level instead of the whole environment is a feature that needs improvement. I chose an eight because of the gaps mentioned, particularly around data quality, which is critical in the AI world; top-quality data is essential for effective AI learning models, and that improvement is necessary, as well as enhancements in refreshing environments to allow for more selective updates rather than complete refreshes. The accuracy and reliability of output from Perforce Delphix depend on the quality of the source environment; if the environment does not meet quality standards, Perforce Delphix cannot perform optimally, which is why I emphasize the need for improvement in data quality.
Perforce Delphix has been of great use when it comes to SQL Server, but it should improve mainly when it comes to SAP HANA and Salesforce as I have not seen Perforce Delphix progress much in those areas. Perforce Delphix needs improvements involving the level of integration it has with Oracle and SQL Server being much higher compared to SAP HANA and Salesforce. The total level of integration for virtualizing, masking, and loading in a seamless fashion is not available in SAP HANA for Perforce Delphix.
Perhaps you should focus mostly on Identity Access Management for Perforce, as the market is heading toward IAM, and it has become mandatory. Additionally, based on my experience, I would suggest trying to use a decentralized approach similar to Git, where when a user clones the repository, it becomes their own repository. This decentralized method is what Git is doing right now, and implementing it might help the company. If you take a decentralized approach to the repository, it would be easier for users. Additionally, implementing Identity Access Management aligned with current cybersecurity tools in the market might also help the company. Focusing in that direction would be beneficial.
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.

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.
