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."It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"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."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"It is a stable solution."
"Delphix's data distribution is powerful. It's easy to distribute data with this solution. The main advantage of Delphix is that it generates copies of data."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"The solution has improved the time it takes to perform tasks related to batch applications."
"Once you have Infosphere up and running properly, it is stable."
"Highly customizable: Allowing you to handle multiple data latencies (scheduled batch, on-demand, and real-time) in the same job."
"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."
"Compared to other ETL tools, DataStage has excellent debugging and development capabilities. And the availability of connectors, even though we sometimes have to opt for specific ones. Also, the availability of patches is good."
"It's a robust solution."
"The Hierarchical Data Stage is good."
"The solution's scalability is really good...we are using multi-instance jobs where you can scale them easily."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"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."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"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 error messaging needs to be improved."
"The setup is extremely difficult."
"I want the tool to continue with the on-prem version, not the cloud one."
"In terms of intermediate storage, we have some challenges, especially with customers who store data in intermediate locations."
"The documentation and in-application help for this solution need to be improved, especially for new features."
"I'd like to be able to do more with the data and metadata, including copy and pasting, et cetera."
"I really like this tool, but the administration should be on the same client application because a lot of administration features are not on the client-side, and they usually need to have administrative access. It's quite complicated to force IT teams to have separate administrative access from the developers."
"The template mapping could be easier."
