Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Anonymizes data based on analyzing the source. Generates realistic synthetic data based on your schema. Configurable mapping and transformation to control how data is represented in the anonymized / synthesized form. Can provide representative subsets of real data for use in test rather than needing a full copy of the huge prod database. Open source so can be run independently.

Tradeoffs

Needs more database support - currently Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB. Large cloud warehouses like BigQuery or ClickHouse are missing.
