Find out what your peers are saying about Delphix, Broadcom, DATPROF and others in Data Masking."Informatica Persistent Data Masking can mask production data for different users, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access sensitive information."
"The most valuable features are the structure masking and platform masking."
"Informatica provides a comprehensive solution for on-the-fly or real-time data masking."
"Informatica is user-friendly, stable, and scalable. These three aspects are the most valuable for us. If we can make it work well with the CRM, we can continue or try again this year to complete that part of the project. I am confident that this kind of solution is what we need because we have a third-party resource that works in the development."
"The most valuable feature is data discovery. This is the most exciting feature for all of the banks."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"It scales well. You can either have it working in with the databases, or you can move it outside. It's got the ability to parallelize up, so you can certainly extract and replay the data from your databases in parallel. So it does have horizontal scalability. That is probably one of its stronger features, the ability just to automatically parallelize the replay and playing of data to allow to scale to large volumes."
"Many of the features of Oracle GoldenGate are valuable. We use Oracle databases and this tool is from Oracle, making it have superior compatibility."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It doesn't take too much time or effort to implement the solution."
"It works best with Oracle."
"It's very simple to configure, it's very simple to implement. In addition, the ability it has to capture data and transmit it with incredible speed is better than any of the product out there. It's extremely powerful."
"This solution has a well-known procedure for troubleshooting and tuning the performance, providing for smooth operation."
"It is quite scalable."
"Informatica should simplify the rules for setting classifications and user access management permissions. It's too complex to define, configure, and make work."
"The data discovery isn't that good yet for Salesforce. We have another tool that we use for this. It may be a problem because Salesforce on the cloud."
"I have encountered some issues using the substitution, which is one of the techniques of data masking."
"Informatica's support understands the solution, but they lack the experience we need for our use case. That was one thing that we prioritized when we started searching for this kind of solution."
"Once the data is masked, we won't be able to reverse it back to its original value."
"The GoldenGate license is very costly."
"It would be better for Oracle Golden Gate Studio GUI to include other licensed products (i.e. Veridata or others)."
"Regarding improvements, the focus should be on addressing data quality issues and minimizing delays, particularly in Oracle databases. The technical support should be improved as well. Additionally, in terms of features, it would be great if the solution could support APIs. The support is not friendly. They don’t respond on time."
"The solution's performance needs improvement."
"The main problem of Oracle GoldenGate is that sometimes, the processes get abended. Data consistency is also challenging."
"The problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it."
"Monitoring must be a bit more enhanced."
"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."
