Immuta
Data access control and policy enforcement platform for governed, AI-ready data across warehouses, lakes, and cloud analytics estates.
Data platforms that need centralized, fine-grained access policies across Snowflake, Databricks, and similar stores for analytics and AI workloads.
Teams that only need a business glossary, or buyers who want a DSR/privacy-ops suite; Immuta enforces query-time policy.
Verdict
Immuta is a good fit when you must enforce consistent data access policies across multiple cloud data platforms rather than manage grants store by store. Commercial packaging is quote-led around Immuta Units tied to users and data stores; AWS Marketplace lists a reference contract band. Practitioners like policy abstraction and scale; price and integration effort are the usual tradeoffs.
Score Breakdown
How Immuta scores in the categories that matter to its buyers.
Pricing
Immuta does not publish a self-serve rate card on immuta.com. Packaging is commonly described in Immuta Units based on subscribed users and connected data store types. As of September 2026.
Model: quote-led subscription metered in Immuta Units (users × data store types). AWS Marketplace lists an example 12-month contract for 960 Units at $96,000 as a channel reference, not a universal list price. Mid-market and enterprise deals commonly scale well above that once more platforms and users are in scope. Budget for policy design and platform onboarding beyond license.
