The initial setup is straightforward. There is a wizard, and one needs to click it and set up the solution. And you can run it on a desktop machine; there is no need to have high-end servers to run or install it. The good part is that it has a Kubernetes edition, which is amazing. If you look at the trend, there are many tools you need to place on On-Prem, or there could be a SaaS version also. But Broadcom TDM has a Kubernetes edition so you don't need to consume a lot of cloud infrastructure. So as and when there is a demand, it can make a scalable number of forwards and do a Kubernetes scalable masking, which I don't think any other system in the market delivers these kinds of options capable of. As TDM is delivering a Helm Chart so, once the prerequisites are ready, it just takes a few minutes to deploy it. For the deployment, the main thing is taking role-based Control, and there is a dedicated guy. We can have for creating definitions for data generation and sub-setting, you can have a dedicated guy for creating the masking definitions as well.

I would say that the initial setup is not that easy, but it's not that difficult, either. An average level of complexity is involved in the setup phase. Installation doesn't take time. However, installing, like, a full-fledged data management solution can take years, depending on the organization and complexity. Regarding the deployment process, we started the data masking, and then we moved on slowly to synthetic data generation and data subsetting. So, these steps could be difficult to elaborate on because it depends upon the organization's requirements and what they really want to implement. The staff required for the deployment to maintenance would really depend on the organization. But typically, it should depend on a minimum of three to five resources, and then it can go on based on the requirements.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"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."
"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."

Room for Improvement

"Broadcom Test Data Manager is for data management. I would like to see some extension with data warehousing concerning ETL. It should also integrate with Jira or other reporting tools. Currently, after creating data, we update tickets and other information in various tools. This would enable us to attach relevant files or information to specific tickets."
"I would request to extend the data source support because there are a lot of cloud-native SaaS-based solutions in the market. Like, Azure has its data sources, Amazon-specific data sources, and there are a lot of proprietary data sources outside as well. I recommend the team to expand the data source support."
"I would say implementing test data management requires a lot of effort and time...Even if you have experienced people, it takes time."

Pricing

"The tool's pricing is high."
"Mainly, we compete with the IBM team and Informatica, and if you compare the license cost, Broadcom is too flexible. Depending on the customer's budget, we suggest they buy only respective SKUs, and it's much cheaper compared to others because we have gone over multiple deals where pricing was never a factor in differentiating products."
"My company makes yearly payments toward the licensing costs. So, I consider the licensing costs to be expensive, especially considering what I have heard from my colleagues."
