DATASKOPE vs Kron Database Access Manager

DATASKOPE monitors, analyzes, alerts on, and reports database activity in real time. It records who accessed sensitive data, where access came from, which transactions occurred, and when. Audit visibility can be limited by user, database, table, and command. Recorded operations include SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, and EXEC, showing what changed and by whom. DATASKOPE tracks successful and unsuccessful logins plus administrative actions such as creating or deleting users. Predefined alarm rules classify database events and notify responsible people. Its NoSQL search engine distributes searches across nodes and is described as scaling horizontally and vertically. Audit data can be automatically backed up and archived, with geographic replication and local redundancy. The product supports multiple database engines and is presented for activity monitoring, access governance, audit reporting, and threat detection. Pricing is not published; Plainex offers contact and demo requests.

Kron Database Access Manager is a paid, hybrid database security product that centralizes access control, query policy enforcement, activity monitoring, and audit reporting. Its SQL Proxy routes database queries through a control point that captures activity and applies rules while allowing users to keep their existing database clients and standard protocols. Administrators can restrict sensitive data access, discover items such as credit-card and personal-ID numbers, and apply dynamic masking to filtered results. Listed database platforms include Oracle, MSSQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Couchbase, Teradata, Cassandra, SAP HANA, and Hive; MongoDB support was added to the SQL Proxy in Kron PAM 3.9. SSO and MFA through the Kron JDBC Driver are listed for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server. Session and query logging support compliance needs, and persistent logging failure causes the proxy to stop accepting new connections. Kron was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey. Pricing is available on request, and multitenant features require a Data Access Management license.
