A comparison of Windocks and Redgate SQL Clone and SQL Provision for database cloning, masking, refresh
"Windocks is an independent software vendor offering zero-copy database cloning (also known as database virtualization) with container support on Linux and Windows. The Windocks offering is unique in the following aspects compared to other solutions:
Containers or instances: Database clones delivered in containers or instances. Delivery in containers is much simpler for DevOps and easier to manage. Delivery in instances makes it easier to work with existing processes"
Standards based API, command line and UI: Built entirely on industry standards – Docker, Kubernetes API and command line, standard Windows and Linux operating systems and storage. API, command line and web application Incremental refresh: Incremental changes from production SQL Server or Oracle applied to database clones to make current production data available on demand. No need to restore full backups repeatedly to get current data Configuration not code: Open, code-free “configuration not code” orchestration automates database cloning, containerization, database masking, source control, data quality, access control, vault integration, and delivers unique data provenance reporting Server only, no high maintenance clients: Windocks is a simple server side install (with the ability to scale out to more servers as needed). There is no need to install any client side software for users and this lowers the total cost of ownership.
