// 03 / glossary
The vocabulary your team will share.
Test data management has dense jargon. We keep definitions short, plain, and useful — so security, engineering, and compliance can agree on what they mean.
Read the full glossary// 04 / how we compare
Honest comparisons.
We'll tell you when another tool is the better fit. These guides include the tradeoffs your procurement team will ask about.
SOFI vs legacy appliances
Run the same VDB and masking workflow without proprietary appliance lock-in or per-engine licensing.
SOFI vs synthetic data tools
Synthetic data is great for some cases. SOFI gives you real production-shaped data with PII masked at source.
SOFI vs single-engine clone tools
Many clone tools are tied to one database. SOFI covers 38+ engines including Oracle, MongoDB, and Postgres.
SOFI vs DIY scripts
Replace pg_dump + Python masking + CI pipelines with one governed platform.
