Why choose Tonic.ai over Delphix

Bring an end to critical bugs in production and accelerate your release cycles by fueling your staging and QA environments with data that mirrors the complexity of production.

Optimized ease of use

With its modern UI, full API, and native database connectors, Tonic.ai provides rapid time-to-value through streamlined workflows built for today’s developers. Onboarding is far easier with Tonic.ai than with Delphix, enabling teams to get the data they need in days rather than months.

Better performance at scale

While Delphix runs into performance issues when processing large datasets, Tonic.ai is architected to match the scale and speed of data warehouses like Snowflake and Databricks. Tonic users regularly process PBs of data using complex de-identification configurations.

Subsetting with referential integrity

Tonic.ai’s patented subsetter works across your database, not just one table at a time, to shrink PBs down to GBs while preserving referential integrity across tables. Create targeted datasets using custom WHERE clauses or simple percentages to pull just the data you need.
