Rule-based monitoring has strengthened real-time protection against SQL injection attacks
I believe the product features are good so far, but I experienced some issues. When I upgraded to a newer version, there were some bugs found that were not resolved. Therefore, I would assume that DataSunrise can improve their quality checks before releasing a new version. I would like to see improvements mainly in support and documentation, as whenever I contact DataSunrise support, the support team is not fully aware of the new features or version revision histories. The documentation has been vague and not well done. I think DataSunrise as a product is still in the initial stage where there are many improvements that can be made regarding documentation and support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"DataSunrise Database Security has positively impacted my organization, as it acts as a proxy."
"My advice to others considering DataSunrise Database Security is that it is a good and unified tool."
"We have a law in Turkey similar to the GDPR in the European Union. It's almost like a replica. Complying with this law is crucial, and the service plays a significant role. Many customer inquiries revolve around not retaining their data. The service addresses this by providing functionality for masking data within the databases. So, if a user requests data deletion, we can remove any information we have on them within the database, ensuring compliance with the law."
"The most valuable feature of DataSunrise Database Security is Dynamic Masking. You don't need to build copies of the database and is highly customizable. It is a very good unique feature. It also has built-in algorithms, or machine learning, which is quite helpful, because it understands the user's behaviors and patterns to apply certain policies."
"This is a fine product, and one of the best."
"The most valuable features of Imperva SecureSphere Database Security are the user-friendliness, easy-to-use interface compared to competitors, database operations do not need a specialist, and simple to manage for our security team. Additionally, the solution can show all the databases and the level of sensitivity. It can show what is more sensitive or less sensitive."
"The time to detect vulnerabilities has gotten a lot quicker."
"The most valuable features include a great level of automation, machine learning for attack validation, and a very flexible and comfortable management console."
"The solution is very good for auditing purposes, including collecting and archiving logs, and we appreciate that we can use it on the DB server without harming the performance of the database is fantastic."
"The most valuable feature is the Data Masking."
"Flexibility provides the option of deployment architectures."
"The immediate return is that we are saving money by having a lower cost for the same functionality."
 

Cons

"I would like to see improvements mainly in support and documentation, as whenever I contact DataSunrise support, the support team is not fully aware of the new features or version revision histories."
"DataSunrise Database Security comes out with new builds every time we have a small issue. This has made the solution not always stable."
"The solution has many features but I would like to see vulnerability assessments in the next release."
"I believe there's room for improvement in their distributor network, especially in Turkey. This is why I was exploring alternatives to DataSunrise Database Security. However, the product itself is quite good. One suggestion for enhancement could be adding an encryption module on top of the masking features, perhaps a more permanent form of preservative encryption."
"There is sometimes lost communication and it can take a lot of troubleshooting to solve."
"The solution is expensive."
"The stability and the ease of use of this product can be improved."
"It would be more efficient if we could manage the consoles of management servers from a single location"
"Design/ease of the learning mode feature."
"Integration with other databases or third-party products would be useful."
"The technical support is not offered by the company itself. Rather, you can only get technical support via partners. It isn't that good and because of this, we want to leave the product."
"Due to restrictions because of sanctions in Iran, we do not have support for this solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"The product’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"It is quite expensive. We wanted it in my former organization, but the price was very high. So, we couldn't purchase it. I moved to a different organization, and this organization has purchased it."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. The cost of the solution depends on the customer, they have the flex protect licensing which can vary in price."
"We have all the licenses, which we pay for annually. The price is a little high, but the product is good."
"The cost of support for this solution is very expensive."
"The pricing is reasonably good in South Africa."
