| Spec score · Database Replication Software | 8.3 (#6) | 8.2 (#8) |
| Change capture | After an initial sync, dsync monitors the source for changes and updates the destination. | Community uses database triggers for change capture, while Pro adds log mining, change tracking, and logical streaming methods. |
| Connectors | Available connectors include MongoDB, Cosmos DB, DynamoDB, AWS DocumentDB, PostgreSQL, S3, and CSV files; several others are in preview or development. | Listed connectors include Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, DB2, SQLite, Snowflake, BigQuery, MongoDB, Cassandra, and Kafka. |
| Deployment | The open source edition is a single binary that can run on a laptop, VM, or Docker container. | Deployments can run on premises, cloud virtual machines, containers, Docker, Kubernetes, or mobile devices. |
| Intended users | Adiom describes dsync as intended for engineers and DevOps teams at enterprises and fast-growing companies. | The Community edition is described as suited to developers and projects needing reliable trigger-based replication. |
| Purpose | dsync migrates and replicates data between databases and data stores, including one-time migrations and continuous replication. | SymmetricDS replicates, moves, integrates, and transforms data across 80+ sources and targets. |
| Security | Adiom says dsync does not store data and supports network encryption. | Pro security features include encrypted resources, role-based access control, ACL, two-factor authentication, single sign-on, and event logging. |
| Support | Adiom offers commercial support for both open source dsync and its Enterprise version. | Community help includes forums, chat, Stack Overflow, and issue tracking; commercial support includes SLA-backed assistance, priority patches, consulting, connector development, and training. |

In their own words
dsync
dsync moves data between databases and other data stores through one-time migrations or ongoing, one-way replication. After the initial copy, it can watch the source and apply later changes at the destination. The open source edition is a single binary that can run on a laptop, VM, or Docker container. Connectors include MongoDB, Cosmos DB, DynamoDB, AWS DocumentDB, PostgreSQL, S3, and CSV files; several others are still in preview or development. Checks range from quick namespace counts to full hash-based verification, and saved state lets an initial copy or change-capture flow resume. Progress appears in the CLI and a web page hosted on the machine running dsync. Adiom says dsync does not store data and supports network encryption. Transformations can use external processes connected over gRPC. It does not replicate source DDL statements or indexes. With a metadata store for resumability, the open source version has a 16 MB read-plan cap. Enterprise adds horizontal scalability, observability, and transformations. The open source plan is free.
