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."The solution is very user-friendly. For instance, if I wanted to create a project with Data Generation, Data sub-setting, Selective sub-setting, and Data Marketing, it can be easily done in TDM. And if you want to export these project definitions from one system to another, it can be done with just one click."
"Data generation, data masking, and data subsetting are three key features of this tool."
"When you have hundreds and hundreds of databases everywhere, how do you do that without looking for keys? If you do it manually, you're going to need a lot of people. With the tool, I work with five people on my team. Right now, we're modeling 700 different databases, and we can do it very quickly because of the tool."
"The masking of data has really been key for us to be able to replace PII with fake values."
"I like the integration a lot. We use the test matching feature and the ability to make and find data."
"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."
"TDM allows us to find the right test data for the test that we need, and then it also allows us to get the required data inputs into our API test, so that we can do a full test."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"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."
"It's really easy to install."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"I would say implementing test data management requires a lot of effort and time...Even if you have experienced people, it takes time."
"Needs improvement on SAP test data generation for SAP testing."
"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."
"We are using a specific database. We are not using Oracle or SQL, Microsoft. We are using Teradata. There are some things that they don't have in their software. For example, when delivering data, they are not delivering them in the fastest possible way. There are some things which are faster."
"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."
"They could make it easier to model databases, because right now it is really technical, so to train someone on it takes a while."
"Get everything centralized into the portal."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"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 is quite expensive."
"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."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
