DataVeil permanently replaces sensitive information in SQL databases with realistic fictitious values, for use in testing, development, training, analytics, outsourcing and support. It supports SQL Server 2014 or later, Azure SQL DB and MI, MySQL 5.7 or later, Oracle 12c or later, and PostgreSQL 14 or later. Users can choose random masking or deterministic masking, which keeps values consistent across databases and runs. Masks can retain value formats and partial content, helping preserve statistical distributions. Discovery tools validate suspected identifiers and account numbers, and users can add their own regular-expression patterns. DataVeil maintains referential integrity for defined foreign keys and supports other user-defined dependencies. Before writing masked values, users can compare original and masked data side by side. Projects run through the GUI, command line or batch files. The free Community license never expires and covers databases up to 10GB. Team costs 5690.00 USD per year for an example setup; pricing includes $4,400 per connectivity option and $1,290 per TB of source production data.
