We performed a comparison between Delphix and IBM InfoSphere DataStage 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."Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"The most valuable aspect is the product is easy to manage, with a good dashboard. We can easily configure it on the front end and back end."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"The performance offered by the product, its price, and its ability to handle structured and unstructured data were good when compared to the other products in the market."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's really easy to install."
"Once you have Infosphere up and running properly, it is stable."
"We are mostly using transmission rules. It has a lot of functions and logic related to transmission. It is a user-friendly tool with in-built functions."
"We like the flexibility of modeling."
"In IBM DataStage, the Transformer is the most valuable feature for me. It enables me to apply complex transformations, generate the gateway key, and map source tables into the session table."
"Highly customizable: Allowing you to handle multiple data latencies (scheduled batch, on-demand, and real-time) in the same job."
"The best feature of IBM InfoSphere DataStage for me was that it was very much user-friendly. The solution didn't require that much raw coding because most of its features were drag and drop, plus it had a large number of functionalities."
"As a data integration platform, it is easy to use. It is quite robust and useful for volumetric analysis when you have huge volumes of data. We have tested it for up to ten million rows, and it is robust enough to process ten million rows internally with its parallel processing. Its error logging mechanism is far simpler and easier to understand than other data integration tools. The newer version of InfoSphere has the data catalog and IDC lineage. They are helpful in the easy traceability of columns and tables."
"The concept of integration is a valuable feature of the product."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"Delphix is a strong solution for virtualization, but it's not strong enough for creating data, so we have to use another solution for creating new data."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"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 pricing should be lower."
"The troubleshooting guide is very bad."
"The interface needs improvement."
"In terms of intermediate storage, we have some challenges, especially with customers who store data in intermediate locations."
"I want the tool to continue with the on-prem version, not the cloud one."
"The setup is extremely difficult."
"DataStage is quite expensive. It is too hard to find a consultant using DataStage in Turkey."
"We would be happy to see in next versions the ability to return several parameters from jobs. Now, jobs can return just one parameter. If they could return several parameters, that would be great."
Delphix is ranked 1st in Test Data Management with 15 reviews while IBM InfoSphere DataStage is ranked 7th in Data Integration with 37 reviews. Delphix is rated 8.0, while IBM InfoSphere DataStage is rated 7.8. The top reviewer of Delphix writes "Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly". On the other hand, the top reviewer of IBM InfoSphere DataStage writes "User-friendly with a lot of functions for transmission rules, but has slow performance and not suitable for a huge volume of data". Delphix is most compared with Informatica Test Data Management (TDM), Denodo, Broadcom Test Data Manager, IBM InfoSphere Optim Test Data Management (TDM) and Actifio, whereas IBM InfoSphere DataStage is most compared with SSIS, IBM Cloud Pak for Data, Azure Data Factory, Talend Open Studio and Informatica PowerCenter.
