Features

Validate, Cause Analysis, Identify Pattern

DataDios SmartDiff helps address the significant concerns of Organizations and IT professionals like Data Mess, Data Automation and Data Validation and detect the cause or patterns of invalid data post migration.

Engaging expensive migration tools to migrate data between Data Sources doesn’t always tackle these concerns and often results in failed jobs, missed deadlines, and exceeded budgets.

Ensure Flexible, Multi-Platform Data Validation

DataDios SmartDiff provides a balanced, multi-cloud strategy that encompasses a blend of private, public, and hybrid cloud environments to solve traditional problems. It provides an easy, efficient, and secure way to validate migrated data across private and public cloud platforms. Built on Root cause Analysis, Clustering and Data Transformation architecture, DataDios SmartDiff enables automated Data Validation Post Migrations, Cause analysis and revealing the patterns. DataDios SmartDiff allows application of data Transformation rule on data and eliminates the need to learn and pay for multiple standalone tools.

Cost Efficient

DataDios SmartDiff promptly validates data and identifies issue patterns for various data sources, which is low-cost, easy-to-use, and anywhere installed. DataDios SmartDiff completes migration projects within the budget. It automatically and simultaneously migrates data from one Data Source to another Data Source, avoiding installation of various expensive standalone tools.

Easy-To-Use

DataDios-SmartDiff user-friendly graphical interface (GUI) guides us through every step involved in the process. It offers a wizard-like experience with built-in capacity analysis of the source and target Data Source to identify data issue patterns, simplifying large and complex validation.

Optimization

DataDios SmartDiff gives a complete granular and programmatic control over every aspect of the migrated data for validation. Automated and programmatic approach allows us to fix the data issue during migration. Optimization can be achieved by reducing costs and project time while minimizing downtime during any migration project.

Meeting Deadlines

DataDios SmartDiff helps us meet deadlines of migration projects as automation reduces time spent by employees and contractors. The need for multiple migration products or home-grown scripts consequently is done away with.

FAQs

What is DataDios SmartDiff?

DataDios SmartDiff is a data validation and differencing tool that provides an easy, efficient, and secure way to validate migrated data across private and public cloud platforms. It is built on Root Cause Analysis, clustering, and data transformation architecture to automate post-migration data validation, identify causes of issues, and reveal patterns in invalid data.

How does SmartDiff help with post-migration data validation?

SmartDiff automates post-migration data validation by comparing source and target data, detecting discrepancies, and identifying patterns in invalid or mismatched records. Its wizard-like interface guides users through each step, ensuring migrations are validated quickly and thoroughly.

What types of “diffs” can I perform with SmartDiff?

SmartDiff provides a single dashboard where you can perform Data Source diff, File diff, and Query diff. This lets you validate not just raw data values but also structures, schemas, and configurations across different systems and products.

Which data sources and systems does SmartDiff support?

SmartDiff works across a wide range of sources and environments, including:

  • Cloud or on-premise SQL and NoSQL databases

  • File formats like XML, JSON, Parquet, CSV, datasets, hashed files, and more

  • Services and products such as IGC, IBM Knowledge Catalog, MDM, DataStage (Datasets / Hashed Files), Collibra, and others

  • Cloud storages including AWS S3, Google Cloud (Big Bucket), Microsoft Azure storage, IBM storage and more

  • IBM OEM partners like MongoDB, EDB, SingleStore, DataStax, and Cloudera

Can SmartDiff apply data transformation rules during validation and does it speed up validation in SmartDiff?

Yes. SmartDiff allows you to apply data transformation rules directly on the data being validated. This increases flexibility by letting you standardize, clean, or adjust data as part of the validation process, reducing the need for separate transformation tools. Metadata filtering lets you narrow validation to specific tables, columns, or objects rather than scanning everything. By focusing on the most critical structures, SmartDiff speeds up the validation process and reduces computation and time for large migrations.

What are the main benefits of using SmartDiff for migrations?

Key benefits include:

  • Easy-to-use, wizard-like GUI for post-migration validation

  • Pattern detection using clustering and Root Cause Analysis

  • Support for many data sources and file types from a single tool

  • Focused validation using metadata filtering to speed up checks

  • Ability to apply data transformation rules during validation

  • Running multiple jobs simultaneously to accelerate migration timelines

What makes SmartDiff easy to use for large and complex migrations?

SmartDiff offers a user-friendly GUI with a wizard-like experience that guides users through capacity analysis, validation setup, and issue review. This simplifies complex validations, even for large datasets, and reduces the need for deep custom scripting.

How does SmartDiff optimize migration projects?

SmartDiff gives granular, programmatic control over every aspect of migrated data for validation. Its automated approach lets you detect and fix data issues during migration, reducing manual work, project time, and downtime, and improving overall migration quality.

What kinds of data problems does SmartDiff help organizations solve?

SmartDiff tackles common concerns like data mess, inconsistent automation, and unreliable data validation. It detects invalid data post-migration, reveals error patterns, and provides a structured way to analyze and fix issues that traditional migration tools may miss.
