Key differences between
Satori and Privacera
 |  | |
|---|---|---|
Satori provides first-class support for modern data stores and cloud environments, including multi-cloud. Privacera, built on Apache Ranger, is optimized for legacy Hadoop environments. | ||
Satori’s datasets automatically pick up new tables and apply policies based on user access rules. Privacera’s policy engine is complex to configure and hard to maintain. | ||
Implementing Satori takes days to weeks. Privacera, due to its open-source nature, requires extensive deployment, configuration, tuning and customization efforts, often resulting in longer implementation timelines. | ||
With Satori, data consumers can get or request access to data sets through an intuitive data portal, integrations with Slack or Teams, or through the command line, unlike Privacera’s legacy user interface. | ||
Satori protects many SQL and NoSQL operational data stores without requiring any changes to your schema or permissions, thus not impacting your production workloads. Privacera only supports PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server by translating Apache Ranger policies to GRANT/REVOKE statements. | ||
“Instead of working for weeks on audits, we always have our data compliance reports ready. Thatʼs why our team is the first to finish audits.“
