Why choose Datamaker™ for your test data management requirements?
Unlike any other vendor, Grid-Tools offer three methods for test data management: database subsetting, data masking and data creation. Running alongside our three flexible methods, we offer data manageability through our test data warehouse (or data repository).
You simply will not find another vendor who offers the freedom and versatility of using each sophisticated method in combination or alone, depending on your project requirements. The ability to use these methods as and when you see fit offers a competitive advantage and superior performance unlike any other. We've rewritten the rules and we'll go head-to-head with any vendor to prove our position.
