"Very user-friendly and the QSA is very good."
"Actifio was very stable. Whenever they identified bugs, they would promptly provide us with patches."
"They will assist me in achieving whatever budget issue the client may be having."
"This product has unique capabilities that lead the product category in test data management, cloning and recovery."
"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."
"When I run my App Test, I can directly connect with TDM. I can publish all my data into one table in TDM, then run my App Test directly."
"Data generation, data masking, and data subsetting are three key features of this tool."
"It allows us to create a testing environment that is repeatable. And we can manage the data so that our testing becomes automated, everything from actually performing the testing to also evaluating the results."
"I like the integration a lot. We use the test matching feature and the ability to make and find data."
"Broadcom TDM's best feature is the self-service portal."
"The masking of data has really been key for us to be able to replace PII with fake values."
"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."
"Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment."
"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility."
"Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle."
"There are different modules for masking. There is a portal and there is a standalone application as well. The standalone application is more old-fashioned. When you write rules on this old-fashioned interface, because it has more complex functions available for use, you can't migrate them to the portal."
"Needs improvement on SAP test data generation for SAP testing."
"I would say implementing test data management requires a lot of effort and time...Even if you have experienced people, it takes time."
"They should make the Portal a little more user-friendly, make it even easier to configure things directly from the Portal."
"When we publish a lot data into the target, sometimes it is not able to handle it."
"The additional feature probably would be a data reservation that is more robust, where you can actually use it consecutively."
"All financial institutions are based on mainframes, so they're never going to go away. There are ppportunities to increase functionality and efficiencies within the mainframe solution, within this TDM product."
"There were some issues with initial setup. It wasn't as smooth as we had thought. We ran into a network issue, a firewall issue, things like that. It wasn't something we could not fix. We worked with CA support and with the client's team to fix it. But there were issues, it took a lot of time to install and configure."
