I'm looking for feedback on data masking products. By data masking, I mean data obfuscation so that sensitive data can be innaccessible on development and QA copies of the production databases.
The data masking thread has come up a few times on Oracle-L over the years but I haven't seen much in the way of recommendations. As far as options go there is
- Oracle - of course
- IBM Optim http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/data-management/optim-solutions/data-privacy-pci.html
just yesterday I went to a presentation at NOCOUG by
- Axis Technologies http://www.axistechnologyllc.com/
and previously mentioned on Oracle-L are
- Datamasker http://www.datamasker.com/
- Camouflage http://www.datamasking.com/
- http://www.net2000ltd.com/
My unsubstantiated guess, having worked at Oracle for 13 years, several of
those years in the OEM group, is that Oracle's approach to data masking will
be expensive, inefficiently complex , pretty buggy not to mention missing
some key functionality. Oracle can get away with a lot given it's marketing
presence.
I hear most talk in the industry about IBM Optim.
The presentation from Axis at NoCOUG was good and they seem to understand
the domain well.
The other options I know nothing about.
Has anyone used any of these products and/or have any feedback on them?
Thanks
Kyle
