DBmaestro FAQs

    • Who is DBmaestro best for - their role(s) within what kind of companies.

      DBmaestro is best suited for DevOps professionals who are able to perform daily or on-demand releases of their code, but are still lagging behind with their database releases. Database Admins can also use DBmaestro for the native governance, auditing and roles & permission suites controlling access to the database. Whether a global enterprise or a cloud-based SME just beginning to scale up, DBmaestro's multi-database support can fit companies of all sizes and in all industries

    • How does DBmaestro benefit them?

      DBmaestro’s DevOps platform paves the way for safe implementation of CI/CD for the database. With automatic drift prevention mechanisms, customizable role management, and a complete audit trail, our platform makes unplanned database downtime a thing of the past. The platform combines several key features that make its value greater than the sum of its parts: repeatable release automation, database version control, governance and security modules, and a business activity monitor. The result is complete database oversight from a single source and a vital edge over the competition.

      *Release automation - automate your database releases with the same speed with which you release code
      *Version control - enforce database change policy, inside the database. Validate database changes against schemas and relevant content, while preventing unauthorized and out-of-process changes
      *Governance & Security - DBmaestro's native roles and permission suites control access to the database, determining which user types are able to carry out different actions. An auditing trail of all actions is created to ensure completely governance of all database actions.
      * Business Activity Monitor - break database activity information down into quantifiable metrics to gain insight, pinpoint issues and ensure that improvement over time is achievable.

    • How technical do users need to be to use DBmaestro's software?

      DBmaestro's users need to be qualified in the field of DevOps in order to utilize the platform properly, and need to understand how database releases, schemas, etc. work.

    • What makes DBmaestro a leader in this space?

      DBmaestro provides two main advantages over any competition - the wide range of databases supported, and the large amount of integrations with supported CI/CD tools

      * Databases supported - DBmaestro supports Oracle, MS-SQL, DB2, PostgreSQL, EnterpriseDB, MySQL and MariaDB databases, and is working on implementing support for Sybase and MongoDB databases as well
      *Integrations - DBmaestro practices a philosophy of "Zero Interruption". In order to bring your databases into your DevOps initiative, DBmaestro seamlessly integrates with all of the industry's top CI/CD tools, including Jenkins, CloudBees, UrbanCode, Azure DevOps, Bamboo, git, bitbucket, Chef, Puppet, and numerous others.

    • How/why is DBmaestro better than those competitors (or most others in their market)? What about DBmaestro is unique, stronger, easier, etc.?

      As was mentioned above, DBmaestro's wide range of supported databases and integrations with CI/CD tools is what helps us stand out from the pack. It's rare for any one organization to have just one database type, and it makes sense to use the platform that can support all the company's databases. At the same token, DBmaestro's ability to integrate itself into existing DevOps processes within your organization make it the ideal solution for bringing DevOps for databases.
