Companies are under constant pressure to accelerate innovation without compromising compliance or data security. Legacy test data management tools can’t keep up with today’s DevOps demands.
Perforce Delphix stands out as a top choice for enterprises across industries. It delivers automated, compliant test data to accelerate DevOps, improve quality, and reduce risk. By virtualizing and masking data at scale, Delphix empowers teams to move fast and efficiently while meeting the strictest security and privacy mandates.
Let’s explore what makes Delphix a top test data management tool. We will cover its key capabilities and benefits, plus see what Delphix users have to say.
Delphix Speeds Up Development & Innovation
Broken test data management processes impede innovation and delay releases. Preparing test environments can take weeks, leaving developers waiting on DBAs or dealing with inconsistent data. This leads to higher defect rates and slower progress.
Delphix solves these challenges by automating the delivery of high-quality, compliant test data directly into DevOps pipelines. With Delphix, teams can create test environments in minutes, ensuring consistent data, reducing defects, and accelerating development velocity. Organizations can deliver features faster, respond to market demands quickly, and maintain a competitive edge.
The Impact of Delphix on Development Velocity
- Development and QA teams get self-service access to compliant, production-quality test data in minutes, not days or weeks.
- Developers control their own test data via UI and APIs so they can refresh, bookmark, rewind, and branch data without administrative intervention.
- Accelerate data provisioning by 100x and releases by 2x.
What Delphix Users Have to Say
Reviews of the Delphix DevOps Data Platform on Gartner Peer Insights:
"Delphix - Giving your companies DBA's and DevOps weekends off" —Database design and engineering user in the banking industry. (See full review)
“Delphix drastically reduces the time needed to set up test environments with realistic data. This boosts productivity and reduces lead times for deploying changes to production.” —IT user in the travel and hospitality industry. (See full review)
Back to topDelphix Reduces Infrastructure Costs
It can be difficult to keep infrastructure costs under control at the enterprise scale. Long-lived environments often remain idle, inflating costs. And over-provisioning of cloud resources for test environments leads to budget overruns.
By using virtualized datasets, Delphix allows teams to have as many copies of data as they need without driving up redundant data, letting you drastically reduce your storage footprint and associated costs. Additionally, its automation capabilities reduce reliance on manual processes, further cutting operational expenses.
The Impact of Delphix on Infrastructure Costs
- Eliminate redundant data with space-efficient virtualization, decreasing storage costs by 80%.
- Reduce infrastructure spend with ephemeral cloud environments.
- Lower TCO by streamlining manual, error-prone data processes.
What Delphix Users Have to Say
Reviews of the Delphix DevOps Data Platform on Gartner Peer Insights:
“Our implementation of Delphix has been transformational for our organization, we have not only reduced environment provisioning times, but have significantly reduced our cloud expenditure.” —Product manager in the banking industry. (See full review)
“Data virtualization at fraction of a cost” —Infrastructure & operations director in the consumer goods industry. (See full review)
Back to topDelphix Ensures Data Privacy & Security
Organizations face increasing risk from privacy regulations, sensitive data exposure, and manual masking errors in non-production environments. Compliance pressures and audit demands compound these challenges.
Delphix addresses these concerns by automating data masking, enforcing governance, and securing non-production environments. This approach enables companies to meet regulatory mandates efficiently and reduce risk across the organization.
The Impact of Delphix on Data Privacy
- Automatically find and mask sensitive data (e.g., PII, PHI) to comply with GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, and more regulations.
- Enforce governance and access control for all non-production environments.
- Reduce exposure to ransomware and data breaches with robust data security measures.
