My main use case for DataMasque is cleaning personal, personally identifiable information out of a production environment to use in our test and QA environments.
A quick, specific example of how I use DataMasque in those environments is that we take production data, we clean it and mask it, and we give it to our developers and our UI.
The whole idea of DataMasque allows me to do exactly what I just explained.
The best features that DataMasque offers are the speed and accuracy, which are by far the best of any of the masking products.
The speed and accuracy help my team because, since it's our test, our UI and test boxes, we don't want to introduce data errors and bugs or have any data leakage, so it's incredibly important to have accuracy. Speed is key because we have terabytes worth of data to process. If it was slower, it would take probably a week to be able to process and mask the whole thing, which is incredibly helpful.
DataMasque has positively impacted our organization by absolutely allowing us to more rigorously test our products within a safe environment without leaking personally identifiable information.
I think it would be great if the user experience was upgraded because it can be quite technical at times.
The user interface could benefit from an upgrade as it can be quite technical at times. I do not have a specific example of where it felt too technical or where the user experience could be smoother.
I have been using DataMasque for the last couple of years.
There are no improvements needed for DataMasque that we haven't already discussed.
My advice to others looking into using DataMasque is that it's an extremely good product that's getting better all the time.
My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer. I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.
