Comparative
beVault or VaultSpeed: what really sets the two apart.
VaultSpeed is a well-known Data Vault code generator, and if your need stops at generation, it's a good tool. The real question is different: what do you do with the code once it's generated? Who orchestrates it, who checks the quality of the loaded data, and on what infrastructure does all this run? That's exactly where the two approaches diverge.
- Code generator vs. complete platform
- Integrated orchestration vs. orchestrator to operate
- Native Quality vs. Third-Party Tool to Connect
- On-premises deployment actually available
The Fundamental Difference
Generating code isn't enough to run a warehouse
Generation accounts for a large share of the initial effort, but a small share of the cost over five years. The rest — orchestration, quality, operations, governance — still needs to be built if the tool doesn't cover it.
Scope covered
beVault covers modeling, generation, orchestration, quality, MDM, and marts in one product. With a generator alone, you have to assemble and maintain the rest of the chain.
Orchestration
beVault runs on AWS Step Functions in serverless mode: no Airflow cluster to operate, update or monitor. The dependency graph is derived from the model.
Data Quality
Rules run during loading, with quarantine and a score per dataset — rather than a check after the fact in a separate tool.
Sovereignty
SaaS deployment, dedicated VPC or full on-premises, with the same product. A deal-breaker criterion for many European public-sector and financial organizations.

The criteria, point by point
| Critère | beVault | VaultSpeed |
|---|---|---|
| Data Vault code generation | âś… Oui | âś… Oui |

Let's be honest
When VaultSpeed Can Be the Best Choice
If your organization already has a robust orchestration platform and a team operating it daily, if your quality governance is already tooled elsewhere and suits you, and if you are only looking to accelerate Data Vault code generation, then a specialized generator will meet your needs.
Our proposition makes perfect sense in the opposite case: lean data team, desire to reduce the number of tools to maintain, strong auditability requirements or sovereignty constraints. In this context, an integrated platform costs significantly less to operate than an assembled chain, and above all, it remains maintainable when people change.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Teams Ask Us For
Can we migrate a VaultSpeed project to beVault?
Yes. Our architects analyze your existing model and define a migration plan before any commitment. Historical data is preserved during migration.
What is the Difference Between DV 2.0 and DV 2.1 Certification?
DV 2.1 is the most recent revision of the standard, with stronger requirements on auditability and advanced structures. Certification is issued by an independent third party after auditing the generated code.
Is the code generated by beVault exportable?
Yes, it's standard, readable, commented SQL, exportable at any time. No dependency on a proprietary engine at runtime.
How do costs compare?
The comparison that matters is total cost: license, but also orchestrator, quality tool and operating time. We produce this calculation based on your actual assumptions.
