While our engineers continue to work diligently on making SentryOne Document the most feature-rich and robust solution in the market, we’ve done some work to make sure your buying journey is a breeze. To accomplish this, we’re introducing three new editions that will allow you get the most value out of SentryOne Document.

SentryOne Document Essentials

SentryOne Document Essentials is perfect for the data professional who wants to automate high-quality database documentation. With this offering, you’re able to produce documentation for your data sources, search that documentation for quick access to important information, and automate the entire process. This edition is great for development teams who want to start automating metadata documentation and streamline knowledge transfer across the organization. With the ability to connect to a growing list of data source types, Essentials is a complete solution for many users.

The SentryOne Document Essentials edition is great for environments that:

• Have data stored in several different technology types (SQL Server, Azure Data Factory, SQL Server Integration Services, etc.)

SentryOne Document Standard

SentryOne Document Standard builds on the capabilities available in Essentials, but packs in more features to elevate your SentryOne Document experience. On top of automated database documentation, the Standard edition grants you the ability to manage and maintain historical snapshots and documentation, allows you to compare current and historical documentation in a side-by-side comparison view, and gives you the power to customize your documentation using a robust data dictionary. This edition is perfect for organizations that would like to incorporate documentation as part of their build-and-release cycle / DevOps pipeline and track changes in their environment over time, or for cross-departmental documentation sharing purposes.
