Provides visibility, has a single console that shows all information, and collector-aggregator capabilities
Right now, we're in the development phase for IBM Guardium Data Protection, so I don't have any recommendations about additional features and room for improvement in the solution. We're very excited to work on IBM Guardium Data Protection because we are new to the solution, and we're still exploring product features. We're very excited about integrations and use case creation, and it's only after six to eight months that I'll be able to share my recommendations in terms of additional features the solution should have. We did find some difficulty in deploying IBM Guardium Data Protection here in Pakistan because of the lack of resources.

Good support, stable, and offers encryption at both the column and table level
The primary use of this product is to encrypt data contained within our Oracle database, allowing us to protect confidential information. One of the options is to encrypt column information, but we can encrypt entire tables, as well Using this product gives us the benefits of encrypting both…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"You could easily throw it onto a VM or add additional hardware. One central manager supports about a hundred managed units, so scalability is excellent.​"
"The front-end works very well."
"Database logging and audit functions are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features of this product are activity monitoring on the database servers, discovery capabilities, and vulnerability scanning."
"Good data encryption and data masking features."
"The product has proven to be flexible"
"Provides a unified key management system to help simplify encryption key management."
"Guardium does a great job of capturing data and having the ability of trying to pull it out and make sense of it. Using it for business applications is its biggest capability."
More IBM Security Guardium Data Protection pros
"The features that are the most used by the customers and partners are, at the moment, for GDPR, so obviously data encryption and data reduction. Our customers also like the partitioning option."
"The most valuable feature is the data encryption option for columns and tables."
 

Cons

"The one thing that I would like to see improved, but I don't think it's going to be in the next release, is its reporting capabilities. I think that's been offloaded to another third-party product that I think IBM actually endorses for that."
"There are features like end-to-end and S-TAP mapping, and the ability to install policies for your configuration builder. They're not there, but we'd like to see them in the next version."
"The ability for Central Managers to talk to one another could be improved. I have 26 Central Managers and 26 silos which are independent."
"More automation, user guides, and tips would make this solution better."
"I would like them to support cloud services."
"Needs easier integration with custom applications."
"It would be helpful, and convenient to improve the Chat support."
"​It will not go as fast as you want. ​"
More IBM Security Guardium Data Protection cons
"It is really constrained as an environment because you cannot change something that would be useful. It is a very good product because it is very similar to what you have on-premises. Yes, it is constrained, but it is expected because it is a platform as a service so it has to be constrained."
"Having a single command to encrypt a table would be an improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Guardium is most suitable for large scale enterprises because the pricing model is better if you are implementing a large number of databases."
"It is a very costly product."
"For IBM Guardium, licensing is very simple and straightforward. There are no issues I can speak of."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"One of the deployments that I know of had three databases, and the yearly fees are approximately $50,000 USD."
"Guardium has not saved us time or money."
"Guardium won mostly because of our scope and scale. It was able to perform at the scale that we wanted to use it. ​"
"The cost depends on the number of databases. You can purchase advanced licenses, but the standard license is calculated based on the number of databases you have to onboard."
