Data Security Delivery Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Unified masking and discovery have protected sensitive data across hybrid production copies
I appreciate many features, including real-time database activity monitoring and auditing. In my environment, I manage numerous production systems for different applications. When teams need to copy production databases containing sensitive information such as PII, PHI, or PCI to non-production environments, I apply masking to those sensitive fields and protect the data from unauthorized users. DataSunrise Database Security's data discovery capability is another valuable tool I use to identify sensitive data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of DataSunrise Database Security is Dynamic Masking, as you don't need to build copies of the database, it is highly customizable, and 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."
"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."
"My advice to others considering DataSunrise Database Security is that it is a good and unified tool."
"Excellent ROI using the automated scans, especially comparing it to the manual method proposed by many vendors."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The solution is very stable."
"The discovery module provides good visibility."
"The best features of Imperva Data Security are that it's a complete solution and it safeguards company reputation."
"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."
"It is very easy to use, and it helps us to discover the databases."
"Imperva is a product leader in this line, and it is very good."
 

Cons

"DataSunrise Database Security comes out with new builds every time we have a small issue. This has made the solution not always stable."
"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."
"The solution has many features but I would like to see vulnerability assessments in the next release."
"The solution is expensive."
"Its reporting can be improved. The reporting feature is currently not good enough for our clients."
"I chose a rating of eight because there is a bit of a delay in support from the support team."
"They can maybe look at its pricing model. Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies."
"The product needs to perform better in extremely busy databases; it does not do really well where the DB is extremely, extremely busy."
"The only challenge I see is that SecureSphere is deployed on servers or databases which are held on physical infrastructure. However, there are databases which are hosted on cloud platforms and Imperva has a separate tool altogether for that, not SecureSphere."
"This product needs a good team of UX people, because it's not always that understandable, and sometimes it's straight up confusing."
"Areas of Imperva Data Security have room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"They have introduced new price models, which makes the product more affordable now."
"The pricing over-all depends on the entry level. For example, if support and maintenance are about $20,000 - $25,000, the initial cost can be five times more. It is less expensive for the company to maintain the client than to make the deployment."
"There is an annual licensing fee for upgrading the device."
"Imperva is too expensive for small and medium-sized enterprises. They're missing out on technology that helps them manage their data security better. Data security is essential because even the strongest network may be attacked from the inside without it."
"The setup and license are quite expensive."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"I know it's not cheap."
