Redgate Flyway extends DevOps practices to databases to speed up software delivery while keeping business-critical data safe. From version control to continuous delivery, Redgate Flyway helps enterprises build on application delivery processes to automate database development and deployments.
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.
Database Migrations on Java-based solutions. It has one of the best integrations with it as a database migration tool, you can do it with the community edition (no pricing involved) and it works flawlessly with Maven and Gradle. It's not an expensive tool in order to use the next level of features and is worth the money. I would recommend reaching that edition level as the object mapping feature gets really handy. I would not recommend it for any Microsoft-based solution (.Net) as is not compatible at all based on my experience, this is a tool only worth it with Java applications.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The problem with a cloud-based tool for migration services is the cloud dependency. You are restricted to use the tool along the Cloud provider. Flyway gives you the freedom to use it in any scenario as long as you are working with a compatible database engine. Even if you are working on-premise and you don't have plans to move to a cloud architecture. Or even for sandbox development scenarios where you are a developer playing around with some project ideas. And you don't have to pay anything as long as you need advanced features, and not less importantly, you are using an open-source tool.
