“Delphix DB copies may reduce space usage, but loses some test Db capabilities around perfr”

3.0

We use this to quickly produce and refresh test databases for SQL server databases. however, performance can be very slow in the test databases. And larger than 10 TB Databases are not practically usable.

Perforce Delphix Likes & Dislikes

The ease of use of the product is what I would say I like the most.

Ability to reproduce a snapshot of our data in a past instant. Ability to produce a test copy quickly. Nice interface.

The masking capabilities are near limitless. The out-of-the-box detection and masking algorithms covered 95% of our data. The remaining 5% required minor tweaks to detection, and some new algorithms based on the OOTB ones. Updating the detection process takes minutes and can be done very iteratively, and the algorithms are the same. We created two different postal code masking algorithms in under 10 minutes to satisfy two different use cases, and a more complex algorithm to mask parts of html tags took less than 30 minutes. One of the coolest things is the fact that we can create a masked gold database that refreshes on a schedule, and then the ease of rolling out versions of that database to our various environments for user consumption, with the masking process taking averaging around 600k rows/minute on minimum hardware specs. We've brought our test data curation process down to a matter of hours each time a new data set is requested, and down to 0 effort for re-use on existing data sets thanks to the masking capabilities, with full referential integrity across multiple disparate sources (MS SQL, Flat files, various OData sources).

Error tracking not being straightforward was what I disliked the most.

Test DB performance is not similar to production. While this is fine for testing functionality, it does not give insight into potential performance issues.

1. Connectivity with Azure Data Lake and Managed SQL 2. It doesn't always play nice for Volume Shadow Copy Service 3. When a job fails, if you are not actively monitoring it, getting to the actual cause can be a pain.

Focused Onboarding Enhances User Success Experience

5.0

Jul 17, 2024

They are very focused on our success, one of the better onboarding experiences I've ever had. They are actively engaged with us and provide regular updates on new features. As part of our active engagement, we are regularly expanding our use of the platform, both in terms of new features, but also just new use cases we are discovering. The UI is straightforward and easy to use and their API support and other offline options make it much easier to collaborate across teams too.

May 14, 2024

Delphix DevOps Data Platform is simple to use, intuitive and enables us to deliver benefits to our business community within a very short time frame. The quality and reliability of the product really are first class. When support issues do occur this vendor's support function is the best I've ever used, both in speed of problem resolution and the depth of knowledge of support staff.

SR. DIRECTOR OF INFRASTRUCTURE & OPERATI

Should have leveraged a Data Platform sooner.

Our experience working with Delphix has been exceptional. From demonstrations, configuration, contracting, and implementation; they have been easy to work with and great business partners!
