It publishes Windows and Linux desktops and applications, internal web apps and files to any HTML5 browser or to native Windows, iOS and Android clients, with no VPN. The browser needs no install; the native clients add low-level USB device redirection. How it works: a gateway, a broker and a lightweight agent on each session host. Agents connect outbound to the gateway over port 443, so session hosts need no inbound firewall rules for user access. Sign-in works with Active Directory, LDAP, SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0 or RADIUS, with built-in multi-factor authentication and role-based permissions. Session recording and audit logging, with SIEM export, support HIPAA, GDPR and PCI DSS reviews. Linux, Java and web applications can also run as per-session containers on Kubernetes (OKE), and a REST API supports automation. Standard VDI features include multi-monitor, printing, clipboard and file transfer, USB redirection, session sharing, load balancing and high availability. Also deploys on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, IONOS, VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, hybrid and air-gapped networks.

Instead of stitching together separate tools for master data, data quality, integration, and governance, SDP brings these capabilities together in one platform, by design. Every asset (entities, rules, pipelines, APIs, and semantic models) belongs to a Data Product with clear ownership, a versioned lifecycle, and self-describing metadata. Teams build once and reuse across operational systems, analytics, and applications. DataOps is built in: design in VS Code, version in Git, and deploy through CI/CD with testing and rollback. AI-assisted design speeds up modeling and rule configuration, while governance, lineage, and access control stay part of every step. Deploy as SaaS, self-hosted, or natively in Snowflake. The result: less tool sprawl, faster delivery, and data the business can trust. 4.7 out of 5 stars 64 Ratings Visit Website for Semarchy Data Platform (SDP) Gearset Gearset is the complete, enterprise-ready Salesforce DevOps platform, enabling teams to implement best practices across the entire DevOps lifecycle.

EditPlus: Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Has all the modern features. East to record macro keystrokes. Fast loading has hex display. Better than Notepad++. Handles ftp built in. It's been my editor of choice for years. My previous editor became unstable in recent releases, so I found myself searching for a new one. I seriously tried about 3 or 4 different editors for a few weeks each, but found EditPlus and stopped looking. For my particular needs editing Perl scripts, it's perfect. It easily supported running the Perl interpreter to syntax check the code and show the output in a separate pane. Color syntax highlighting and code folding are supported. It also has handled large files in the tens of megabytes quickly. It also allows for a fair amount of keyboard customization, so I was able to set up the key combinations I'm already familiar with for various operations. It also has the ability to insert code snippets which I have found useful on a few occasions. I don't use it to its fullest extent, but for what I need to do, it's intuitive, fast, and stable. I've yet to encounter an exception during operation and I use it for many hours per day, every day. Cons Hardly any. I like the features and nice menu design. There have only been a couple of nits that are bothersome, and the author corrected them quickly upon being reported. The only one that I still encounter on a frequent basis is my need to have the File->Open dialog open to the same folder every time regardless of where I last opened a file from. Currently, it always defaults to the last folder you opened a file from, which means I often have to click through the folder hierarchy to get to my work folder.
