DataVeil vs Ubiq Dynamic Data Masking

DataVeil masks sensitive SQL database data with fictitious values for testing, development, training, analytics and support. It supports Microsoft SQL Server 2014 or later, Azure SQL DB and MI, MySQL 5.7 or later, Oracle 12c or later, and PostgreSQL 14 or later. Choose random masking or deterministic masking, which can keep values consistent across databases and separate runs. Masks can retain value formats and partial content to help preserve statistical distributions. Discovery algorithms check suspected identifiers and account numbers, and users can add regular-expression patterns. DataVeil maintains referential integrity for defined foreign keys and supports user-defined dependencies. Before writing masked values, users can compare originals and results side by side. Projects run from the GUI, command line or batch files. The Community license includes generated PDF reports and automatically multi-threaded masking. It runs as a Java client with an embedded JDK 21 and uses JDBC. The free Community License never expires and covers databases up to 10GB. The Team license is $5,690 a year for an example configuration; its price depends on connectivity options and source-data size.

Ubiq Dynamic Data Masking protects sensitive data by determining at runtime what a requesting identity receives. Depending on the identity, application, service account, API, or workflow, the same value can appear as cleartext, masked, tokenized, format-preserving protected, or encrypted data. Sensitive values can remain protected at rest while policy determines their runtime form. Ubiq supports both permanent masked copies for development, test, vendor, and analytics use and runtime decisions for production access. Connections include SDKs, APIs, SQL UDFs, and database and data warehouse integrations; its catalog lists 49+ integrations, including PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Snowflake, Databricks, and Tableau. Ubiq says it deploys inside the customer’s environment, does not operate as a masking proxy between applications and databases, and can protect data without schema changes where applicable. Customers can use their own HSM or KMS to retain key control. Enterprise Edition pricing is usage-based through a private offer, and additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. A 30-day trial is listed; there is no free plan.
