ROI of Moving to Windocks

  • 50%+ Lower Cost: Eliminate hardware lock-in.
  • Seconds vs. Hours: Faster cloning accelerates delivery cycles.
  • AI Enablement: Support retraining, A/B testing, and ML development.
  • Compliance & Security: GDPR, HIPAA, and beyond.

“We moved off Delphix after seeing how Windocks could deploy in days instead of months, without the cost and complexity of proprietary appliances. It gives us broader platform support at half the price, and it’s AI-ready—so our teams ship features faster with compliant data that powers both DevOps and machine learning.”

What do Delphix and Windocks do?

Both companies provide database virtualization and data masking. Delphix runs on a proprietary storage appliance, while Windocks runs on Linux and Windows servers with no lock-in.  In addition to database virtualization and masking, Windocks adds additional capabilities, including synthetic data, database subsetting, and AI-ready pipelines, making it a more modern choice for enterprises.

How do Delphix and Windocks work?

Delphix works by virtualizing and masking databases on its appliance-based environment. Windocks achieves the same outcomes on Linux and Windows file systems, and adds the flexibility to orchestrate delivery of virtualized databases to newly created Docker containers or to existing fixed instances.  Windocks also avoids the need for dedicated staging servers, as is common with Delphix.  

What are Delphix and Windocks used for?

Organizations use Delphix to speed up development and testing by virtualizing production databases. Windocks does the same, and also goes further in supporting delivery of synthetically populated databases and supporting data preparation for analytics and machine learning model testing. 

What is Delphix data virtualization vs Windocks data virtualization?

Delphix data virtualization allows teams to create and mask virtualized databases, typically requiring dedicated system administrators.   Windocks is downloadable software that installs in minutes and is managed by DBAs or DevOps engineers.  The result is a lower cost of operation and greater agility with Windocks. 

What are the limitations of Delphix vs Windocks?

Windocks is a lightweight, cloud-ready platform that supports Oracle, Oracle EBS, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Mongo, Snowflake, and more.  A single Windocks server is a good fit for a line of business or small org, and can scale out to serve large enterprises.   Delphix is definitely geared toward large enterprises with a large budget.

Why are enterprises replacing Delphix with Windocks?

Enterprises switch to Windocks because it deploys in days, costs 50% less, and includes AI-ready capabilities like agentic workflows and synthetic data. Delphix provides traditional masking and virtualization but doesn’t support the same breadth of data or modern DevOps pipelines.
