DBX vs Onam Database Security

DBX is a web-based security analysis tool for PostgreSQL and Supabase databases. It examines how identities can reach database objects through RLS policies, grants, functions, storage, relationships, and tenant boundaries. DBX inspects live security objects and uses a deterministic rule engine and permission graph to evaluate practical access. It groups individual weaknesses into attack paths and reports severity, confidence, and evidence. Each deterministic finding includes a proposed migration linked to the relevant object, with an expected security effect and compatibility risk. The snapshot contains catalog metadata, including schemas, policies, grants, routines, and relationships, but no database rows. DBX says its snapshot workflow requires no database password, persistent connection, agent, or production write access; scanning is designed for a dedicated least-privilege role with catalog permissions. A language model explains verified findings and drafts remediation for human review. DBX does not test application code, network controls, or client authorization logic, and it makes no compliance certification claims. Free unlimited introspection is available; Full Remediation costs $195, paid once.

Onam Database Security evaluates managed and self-hosted databases against cloud posture rules and CIS engine-level benchmarks. It discovers resources across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, IBM Cloud, Alibaba, and Kubernetes through read-only APIs. Listed database services include RDS, Aurora, Azure SQL, Cloud SQL, DynamoDB, Redshift, and OCI DB Systems. Checks cover encryption, public accessibility, backup retention, deletion protection, audit configuration, snapshot exposure, and privileged database grants. Findings combine data-classification and identity context to identify sensitive databases and show which principals can access them. Cloud posture checks use cloud control-plane APIs; optional engine-level evaluation uses a read-only database account provisioned by the customer. Onam maps findings to 78 frameworks and offers PDF and CSV auditor exports with linked evidence. Free and Pro are SaaS plans; Enterprise also offers on-premises deployment. Free is limited to one cloud account and up to 500 resources. Pro is $22 a month, billed per resource per month, with a platform fee plus $22 per resource. A 14-day trial is listed.
