IBM InfoSphere Optim vs. Osano

Optim is especially recommended for those companies that have their own or third-party development teams that must be provided with a complete data environment to test the applications. Optim is not recommended for use as an ETL or Data Integration tool.

Osano is great for a full suite of websites to manage. Agencies and companies with many websites to attend to are a good match for Osano's capabilities. Websites that run a lot of cookies and scripts (aka anything WordPress) are good candidates for this service. It is also useful for managing user data, although I do not leverage that feature in my own use.

• Easily extract data from production environments with no-coding
• Intelligent filtering capabilities using physical or logical relationships.
• Advanced data masking funtions

Incentivized

• Improves the product regularly
• Easy to manage the cookies and scripts
• "Blocklist" feature is handy for spamy scripts still lurking on old sites.

Incentivized

• Poor UI
• Complex architecture

Incentivized

• [I] would like to have more details on what the scripts/cookies are for (it isn't always clear).
• The step-by-step process of classifying scripts and saving vs. publishing is clunky and unclear.
• Some [of the] naming conventions aren't intuitive - compliance mode, strict, passive, etc.

I haven't used any other products like Osano before.

Incentivized

• Optim can save companies a lot of money by protecting the sensitive data found in their databases, thus avoiding the theft of real customer information with the economic and media impact that this has.
• Accelerate the generation of non-productive environments saving time from human resources.

Incentivized

• + [We] haven't had any compliance issues.
• - When adding new scripts to the website, I (me, specifically) need to remember that I'll need to classify them before the scripts will work. [It is] not streamlined for other people on my team.
• + [There are] generally little-to-no issues, which is good.
