Enterprise Enabler vs Virtual Data Platform

Enterprise Enabler 10 is data integration middleware for connecting IT and business users to data held across different sources. Its transformation engine can federate live data from multiple systems and transform it without staging it in a physical or virtual database. A data catalog provides another way to search within the product, and lineage traces a dataset’s origin, destination, formulas, business rules, and intervening steps. Fast Virtualization uses drag and drop to create virtual models for BI reports, web services, and applications. Data masking and obfuscation control partial or full user views; the product page says these features support GDPR compliance, row-level security, and column-level security. Listed relational integrations include Oracle RDBMS, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. Deployment options include on-premise, cloud, hybrid, and a cloud edition designed to run without extra installation and setup. Stone Bond Technologies offers a no-cost trial, with setup instructions sent by email. AWS Marketplace bundles are billed per hour: EE 10 Bundle A is $2.17 a month for 3 data sources, and Bundle B is $8.50 a month for 12.

Virtual Data Platform (VDP) provides live access to enterprise data across systems, networks, and organizations without copying it into a warehouse or lake. Queries run against source systems, and results are combined in an in-memory sandbox for each user. Its low-code Modeler creates reusable Virtual Datasets from Functions, Code Files, Models, and Value Lists. Users can work with the data through Excel, Power BI, Python, R, and MCP-capable AI assistants. Listed integrations include SAP, Snowflake, Salesforce, Workday, SQL Server, SharePoint, ODBC, OData, Oracle, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, and Dynamics 365. Users sign in with Microsoft Entra ID, and queries apply source-system permissions under the requesting user’s identity. The maker describes outbound-only gateway connections, TLS on every connection, encrypted payloads, and results held in memory rather than saved to disk. It describes the service as GDPR-aligned and hosted in the EU on Microsoft Azure, while making no certification claims today. A Dedicated tier offers a dedicated backend cluster and Azure Private Endpoints.
