We performed a comparison between Broadcom Test Data Manager and Delphix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Data Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Data privatization (GDPR enable), synthetic test data generation, and test data provisioning are its main interesting features."
"There is other stuff that they are working on right now, and that includes things like the vTDM or Virtual Test Data Management. That is where they have the ability to do test data clones. It is really neat because after doing some of that creation, or if you are going to do some subsetting, then you have a great looking database."
"The scalability is outstanding. We're able to scale it to any size of data that we want. We can do small data sets, we can do large data sets."
"The whole process is done by functions which are compiled on the source environment itself. Normally, you take the data from the source, you manage them - for example, mask them - and then you load this masked data into the destination. With this solution, it's completely different. On the source environment, there are functions compiled inside the environment, which means they are amazingly fast and, on the source environment, data are masked already. So when you take them, you already take masked data from the source. So you can copy them, even with an unencrypted pipe."
"I like the integration a lot. We use the test matching feature and the ability to make and find data."
"I have always gotten a call back within an hour from CA's technical support solutions and they are a wonderful team to work with."
"The solution has a portal where we can create data. We can also create synthetic data with the help of the product. We can use it to create a new data set in the database, eliminating many issues. The product helps with data accuracy and availability."
"It allows us to create a testing environment that is repeatable. And we can manage the data so that our testing becomes automated, everything from actually performing the testing to also evaluating the results."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"It's really easy to install."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"Needs improvement on SAP test data generation for SAP testing."
"The relationship between cables needs to be added."
"Needs a better fit and finish."
"It has a feature called TDM Portal, where testers can find test data by themselves, based on multiple models. They can reserve the data so that it belongs to one group or individual. Obviously, that data is not available to anybody else... This feature is for one environment. But if a different group of testers wanted that data for a different environment, they can't use it via CA TDM. That feature doesn't exist."
"There are different modules for masking. There is a portal and there is a standalone application as well. The standalone application is more old-fashioned. When you write rules on this old-fashioned interface, because it has more complex functions available for use, you can't migrate them to the portal."
"Broadcom TDM takes a long time to import documents, which wastes time that could be spent on other things."
"A lot of research, data analysis, and work needs to be done on the source system in the tool which requires a data expert. This tool definitely requires a senior person to work on this issue, as it might be a challenge for a tester."
"When we publish a lot data into the target, sometimes it is not able to handle it."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"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."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
