Delphix has proven to be an essential tool for users looking to comply with data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA while also streamlining their processes. According to users, the self-service solutions provided by Delphix have significantly improved development processes and reduced development cycles. With Delphix serving as an Endpoint Backup Solution, users have reported that it eliminates data friction and drastically speeds up database refresh times from days to minutes. By doing so, it not only saves time but also lowers storage costs and enhances the efficiencies of the entire team.
Users have especially found Delphix useful in addressing storage consumption issues for non-productive environments, allowing them to achieve cost reduction without sacrificing performance. Additionally, the tool's compatibility with other automation tools like Jenkins has made it easy for users to set up automated regression testing. Delphix empowers developers and testers to effortlessly manage their data, offering features like bookmarking, rewinding, and refreshing data as needed. It even enables virtualization of databases, compressing data and creating virtual databases that can be accessed from anywhere.
The advantages of using Delphix extend beyond development processes. Users have found value in its ability to refresh data in MDM systems and perform data masking for enhanced security. Furthermore, the bookmark feature has been praised for facilitating easy testing of new database code by providing a quick way to revert back in case of any issues. Overall, customers have found Delphix to be a reliable solution that helps them save time and money while ensuring compliance with data privacy rules.
Valuable for identifying sensitive data: Several users have found Delphix to be a valuable tool for identifying sensitive data fields and ensuring regulatory compliance. They appreciate how it empowers them to easily manage and control their data, allowing them to confidently meet compliance requirements.
Versatile data management capabilities: Many reviewers highlight the versatility of Delphix's data management capabilities. It enables them to move and manage data from any premises, cloud, or environment with ease. This flexibility is highly valued as it allows users to adapt their workflows and processes according to their specific needs.
Excellent support and documentation: Delphix receives praise for its excellent online documentation and a supportive community that provides great support. Users appreciate the knowledgeable staff at Delphix who take a genuine interest in helping customers succeed. The support organization is considered among the best, providing timely assistance and promptly resolving issues.
Cons:
- Limited data creation capabilities: Some users have expressed that Delphix is not strong enough for data creation and have had to rely on another platform for that purpose.
- Lack of support for AD security groups: Several reviewers have mentioned that Delphix web pages do not support AD security groups, causing inconvenience for users who need to create and maintain passwords for a large number of users.
- Difficulty with the Data Masking tool: Users have reported difficulties with the Delphix Data Masking tool's handling of complex flat files and have had to resort to creating separate tagger and un-tagger tools in order to enable masking.

Top Test Data Management Tool
- Delphix has been giving me an edge by allowing me to push test data management capabilities to the developer/tester empowering them to be their own data operator to bookmark, rewind, and refresh data as needed.
- My data stays protected with security policies and regulatory compliance.
- Delphix is also a great tool as it can move and manage data from any premises, cloud, or environment.
- 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.
- Version controlling with codes.
- Data collaboration.
- customization.
- Delphix has a brilliant way of documentation online.
- Delphix has the constant need to improve its quality and fix bugs quickly as well as transparently.
- With Delphix, my data remains secured.
2+ years into the Delphix Data Virtualization and Data Masking Journey and things are good!
- 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.
- User/PWD management in the Delphix Self-Service web page does not support LDAP nor AD security groups. This creates a hassle if you have a large number of self-service users to create and maintain passwords for. The fix for this is supposed to be the new Central Management tool. We just ended up creating jobs in Jenkins (which supports groups) using the python-examples scripts from the Delphix Github.
- Reporting on storage and performing capacity planning is not easy when running many (20+) virtual databases. The latest release and new Central Management tool are both supposed to storage reporting much better.
- Delphix Data Masking tool could handle masking of complex flat files better. We ended up creating a tagger and un-tagger to add/remove metadata to enable Delphix masking to be able to mask our complex flat file. Would have been nice if that capability was already built into the masking tool.
From an licensing perspective Delphix has a 3TB minimum so its better suited to enterprise sized databases, the ROI may go down if the db size is small, number of dev/test dbs is small, and/or number of developers and testers is small. If you don't refresh from Prod frequently your storage usage will climb which offsets some of the hard dollar cost benefit.
- The ROI has been positive reducing db refresh from 4 days to 4 minutes, putting data operations in the hands of the developer/tester, all while removing the myriad of steps of a prod/non-prod refresh is in line with Agile philosophy of removing waste and moving the work closer to people that need to do it (the developers)!
- ROI is easier to obtain if you are already an Agile development shop and can take advantage of automating Delphix functions shortly after install.
- The hard dollar savings comes from reduced storage costs and requires refreshing dev/test dbs regularly (i.e. every 3 months or more often) to realize the benefit.
Delphix does not perform any SQL functions so its not for extract, transform, load or creating smaller subset databases. We figured why subset the data if we can get a full virtual copy for no additional cost!
