DBHawk vs Ubiq Dynamic Data Masking

DBHawk brings database security, management, governance and analytics into a browser-based workspace for on-premises and cloud databases. Its access controls can be role-based and fine-grained down to column-level policies; dynamic masking can hide sensitive column values from unauthorized users. A centralized audit log records SQL queries and administrative actions. For database work, DBHawk includes a browser SQL editor, query builder, charts and dashboards, plus SQL job scheduling. It supports SQL and NoSQL systems including Athena, Redshift, Cassandra, MongoDB, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, SAP HANA and Teradata. The platform also provides API access for provisioning database access, sharing SQL results and calling SQL. Listed identity integrations include SAML, LDAP, Okta and SSO, as well as Azure Entra, Google, CyberArk and HashiCorp. DBHawk SaaS starts at $40 a month per user, requires a minimum number of users, and includes standard support; premium support is available. A free 30-day trial is available without a credit card.

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.
