Amazon Drive (discontinued) vs. Perforce Delphix

Amazon Cloud Drive is a fantastic backup solution for storing your digital files on the web, but if you want to manage, tweak, organize or otherwise maintain those files after they have reached the cloud, the experience immediately begins to suffer. This is especially noted when major competitor products like Microsoft and Dropbox offer similar services at similar prices, but offer far better interfaces for file management.

REST API calls are available for all Delphix activities. Delphix makes it simple to move data between production to other test or QA environments. Through the replacement with a dummy, yet realistic data of the customer or patient data, you reduce the danger of data breaches for any and all copies of data you produce.

• Amazon Drive automatically detects photos and videos in specific folders (that you choose). It will add them to Drive without any action from me.
• There is a desktop app where you can access all of your files (in addition to web-based access).

Incentivized

• Fast refresh of production data to non-production environments.
• Easy to automate tasks in Delphix (Bookmark, Rewind, Refresh, etc.) and build pipelines in tools like Jenkins. Enables CI/CD push button build of new virtual database and also the ability to automate regression testing scenarios as well as provide a simple way to expose self-service to developers & testers.
• The staff at Delphix are knowledgeable and take a genuine interest in helping their customers succeed. The support organization is among the best I've seen.
• Delphix is good at notifying customers of bugs & features striking a good balance on sending the right amount and type of communication.
• Delphix is always improving the product and fixing any bugs quickly and transparently.
• Delphix Data Masking product works as described and allows for multiple streams of masking concurrently to complete masking faster.

• Less storage than Google Drive, Google offers 15GB of free space - vs. Amazon's 5GB.
• Also, unlike with Google Drive, you can't back up your work with Amazon Drive ( I also use Google Drive, since I have a Gmail account).
• A lot more expensive than Google Drive, which is 1.99/month...but they are more in line with Dropbox pricing.

• Delphix is a hefty solution for virtualization, but it is not strong enough for the creation of data, so we have to use another platform when it comes to creating new data.
• Moreover, Delphix web pages do not support AD security groups which eventually results in hassle if you have a large number of users to create and maintain passwords.

The system is very easy to use and it's use of apps for almost all devices and hardware makes it even easier to manage and store photos and documents. I highly recommend this as an easy to use solution for novices!

It is safe but has little added value.

Overall great software to use for file share, storage, and collaboration. Its security is great and the user management is spot on. The only thing that makes me dock it a point is that the device management as a subset of user management is kind of clunky. It hasn't been an issue yet, but it could compromise security in the future. Overall, would recommend

Delphix support could be a little better. It seems sometimes we bounce through support engineers until we get one that understands our issues and know how to fix it.

Amazon Drive Cloud has the advantage of being backed by one of the companies that has had the highest growth in recent years: Amazon. That gives us security and has been the main reason for us to trust this product. We believe that the security systems of this company are good enough to be quiet while our files are stored on their servers

The other competitors in the market are Solix and Data Global and SAP. The pricing and the UI are much simpler and easy to put Delphix in the top spot.

• It slowed us down at first since we went from purely agile to document based then agile.
• It is easy to use so even non-developers can access code snippets which they wouldn't know how to access on github.
• It has a lot of features we don't have a use for in our business.

Incentivized

• Positive ROI on the first year.
• Low TCO as really easy to use and manage.
• Avoid technology vendor lock in.
• Avoid technology difficulties to manage data, one ingested Delphix is on charge.
