DBeaver is a free database security solution. Protegrity DAIS Platform is a commercial database security solution by Protegrity. Features, integrations, deployment and the company behind each one, side by side.
What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
Best for: Large enterprises with mainframes, data warehouses, and big data
Protegrity is not sized for SMBs in practice, despite what the company size fit field says. The licensing model and implementation complexity point squarely at large enterprises with dedicated data security teams. If your environment is primarily cloud-native and modern, you may find the platform's breadth is more than you need and the overhead is not worth it. But if you are running a hybrid estate with mainframe workloads and need a single policy framework across all of it, Protegrity is one of the few solutions that can actually deliver that.
