pgAdmin vs Redgate SQL Provision

pgAdmin is a graphical tool for administering, developing with, and monitoring PostgreSQL databases. It runs as desktop software or in server mode, where multiple users can access it over the web. It supports PostgreSQL and EDB Postgres Advanced Server versions supported at the time each pgAdmin release is issued. Query tools include syntax highlighting, a data grid, graphical query plans, schema diff, an ERD tool, and a procedural language debugger. Users can manage common database objects and inspect their SQL definitions, properties, dependencies, and available statistics. Maintenance features include a monitoring dashboard, auto-vacuum management, and on-demand backup, restore, vacuum, and analyze operations. It also supports SSH tunneling, data editing, query history, and binary, CSV, or text result exports. The free plan costs nothing under the PostgreSQL Licence. Downloads include Windows and macOS installers, Linux packages, Docker, a Python wheel, and source code. Only the latest release is supported; there are no long-term stable versions.

Redgate SQL Provision combines SQL Clone and Data Masker for SQL Server to create virtualized database copies with sensitive data masked. It is intended for development, test and continuous integration environments. Teams can automate environment creation and refreshes, or let developers request fresh data themselves. A single interface manages database clones and permissions, while integrated masking is intended to shield sensitive information in non-production environments. Redgate says masking can help protect data subject to GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA and other regulations. The product advertises environment refreshes in seconds and storage savings of up to 99%. It supports Microsoft SQL Server and self-hosted deployment, with web and desktop deployment options. Licensing tiers are based on combined production data volume, with listed capacities from 1TB to 100TB. Customers between tiers must buy the next higher tier, and capacity is reviewed every 12 months after a subscription begins. Pricing is on request; there is no free plan and a fully functional 14-day trial is available.
