Informatica Persistent Data Masking vs. Libelle DataMasking vs. WinSQL vs. dbForge Query Builder for SQL Server Comparison Chart

Retain context, form, and integrity while preserving privacy. Enhance data protection by de-sensitizing and de-identifying sensitive data, and pseudonymize data for privacy compliance and analytics. Obscured data retains context and referential integrity remain consistent, so the masked data can be used in testing, analytics, or support environments. As a highly scalable, high-performance data masking solution, Informatica Persistent Data Masking shields confidential data—such as credit card numbers, addresses, and phone numbers—from unintended exposure by creating realistic, de-identified data that can be shared safely internally or externally. It also allows you to reduce the risk of data breaches in nonproduction environments, produce higher-quality test data and streamline development projects, and ensure compliance with data-privacy mandates and regulations.

WinSQL is a powerful universal database management tool that is used by 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies and more than a million programmers and DBAs around the globe. WinSQL is a generic querying tool that connects to any relational database (RDBMS) for which an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver is available, virtually all RDBMS on the market today. Connect to a variety of databases, including: heavy duty vendors Oracle, MS SQL Server, DB2, Sybase, Informix to lightweight backends like MS Access, DBase, and Text File. Generate royalty-free executables that can be used by your business users to run queries. These can be either static or dynamic queries that pull fresh data from the back-end. Export or simply open any query results into MS Excel with just a click of your mouse. You can even import an existing Excel spreadsheet to a database table by simply dragging an *.XSL file in the catalog tree.
