LangGrant
LangGrant connects large language models to your production databases for trusted, governed data analysis. Instead of one-off answers, it produces persistent, versioned Data Plans that show their work - the steps and logic behind every result. Teams review, validate, and reuse these plans without moving data. A single question can join data across multiple databases, and LangGrant auto-adapts to each schema. It works with models like Claude, OpenAI, and Google Gemini, and supports Snowflake, SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Redshift, Azure SQL, Databricks, and MySQL. Data Plans move through a code-like lifecycle (test, sign-off, staging, approved) with access controls, PII protection, compliance validation, and audit trails. By reusing reasoning instead of paying AI for every question, it cuts cost, improves collaboration, and builds organizational intelligence. From the team behind Windocks, recognized by Gartner.

    "Windocks: A Superior Container Application"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2023-09-14

    Pros: We have been using Windocks for a number of years now. We currently are using 5 Windocks hosts and 40+ containers. To have access to a functional SQL server, for development or trouble-shooting production issues, in minutes is invaluable.

    Cons: I can't think of anything negative to say about Windocks. The installation is extremely easy. The upgrades are timely and useful. We have asked a lot from them feature-wise over the years and they never fail to come through.

    Overall: As with any IT process the need to reach out for assistance will happen. Windocks Support is incredible. Though there have been few issues throughout the years, they have never failed to respond the same day and resolve situations in a expedient manner.

    "Great for automating dev/test database provisioning!"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2023-07-05

    Pros: - concept of "database containers" to isolate enable each dev and test to work in their own writable environments
    - easy application of access controls so devs only access their designated environments
    - database cloning to minimize disk space associated with instances
    - familiar docker commands to environments to be updated frequently and automatically

    Cons: - cultural change to automate what used to be manually done by our DBA. Had to sell this internally to the team, but it was totally worth it in the end.
    - some initial time needed to set this up just right to automate what we wanted. Once set up, it just runs flawlessly.

    Overall: Windocks has totally streamlined updating our dev & test environments both automated and on-demand. Tech support was great in getting us set up. (Thanks, Vinod!) Also, Paul was super helpful in sharing experiences of other Windocks customers so we could have the right conversations here internally to modernize our practices.
