We performed a comparison between Broadcom Test Data Manager and DATPROF 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 saves us time from generating the same amount of data in real-time."
"Data generation, data masking, and data subsetting are three key features of this tool."
"What I find to be most valuable is its ability to do synthetic data creation. I love that because it has a lot of flexibility and you do not have to worry about one specific database or how you are going to manage all the data points."
"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."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Basically, just install, next, and start using it."
"The synthetic data generation is really good... You can write rules and create permutations and combinations according to your needs. Or you can take a snippet of the Prod data and replicate it."
"Broadcom TDM's best feature is the self-service portal."
"The data generation is one of the most valuable features because we are able to write a lot of rules. We have some specific rules here in Turkey, for example, Turkish ID IBAN codes for banks."
"Technical support is good. They are friendly and fast."
"We can create synthetic test data for our different development teams without needing production data, which is an excellent capability."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use... We were able to quickly port a JD Edwards application into the DATPROF solution and we were able to scramble the data in that application. It's a single tool that helps us to do that across applications."
"We have some customers who are in both SAP and non-SAP. When we do scrambling for different applications, it is extremely important that DATPROF and the SAP applications talk to each other and synchronize. Otherwise... [an] identity [can be] lost, from a name perspective."
"The most valuable feature of DATPROF Privacy for us is the possibility to mask sensitive test and development data on different kinds of databases. Furthermore, the tool comes with different useful masking functions. It is possible to mask deterministic and it is possible to add your own functions. The tool has an intuitive interface and customer support is fast and efficient."
"The data modeling software gave additional insights for debugging in the case of circular foreign keys."
"I am very impressed with the capabilities of the software."
"Its ease of use is valuable. It's pretty straightforward. With minimal training or with minimal guidance, it can be used."
"Needs a better fit and finish."
"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."
"Needs improvement on SAP test data generation for SAP testing."
"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."
"The additional feature probably would be a data reservation that is more robust, where you can actually use it consecutively."
"I would say implementing test data management requires a lot of effort and time...Even if you have experienced people, it takes time."
"The relationship between cables needs to be added."
"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."
"The synthetic data-generating element of the tool is relatively new, so we sometimes encounter bugs, though when we inform DATPROF, they act quickly to fix any issues. Of course, the fewer bugs we face, the better."
"They could improve the solution by expanding the APIs. If there were options to integrate it with other solutions, that would help."
"We organized the orchestration via ServiceNow/Runbook. It would be nice if DatProf software had this functionality as well."
"From what I know, there are some challenges with respect to the number of data formats that can be made available. This is something that can be improved."
"Right now, we need to make process agreements with our supplier to keep our source and target database in line with the current production version. This may become an issue when (if) we reach a CI/CD level with multiple releases per day."
"Although it is possible to mask flat files inside DATPROF Privacy, the current solution is solid. However, it can be improved with an improved user interface."
"I feel that we have to do a lot of reworking of the template implementations... Maybe it is a limitation, but as a customer, it feels like we need to start from scratch every time. It would help if we could reuse at least some of what we have already done."
"The product could be improved by adding functions to mask flat files and XML data."
