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

"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."
"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."
"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."
"The functionality is very useable and easy to understand."
"Since this tool is far better than the competitors and manages a lot of compliance requirements, the pricing seems to be fine."
"The solution is very stable."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security is used to store data so that if there is an emergency we can restore it."
"Imperva's most valuable features are ease of use and log correlation. I also like the ability to trace activity from the host machine to the server access, the user details, and the exact query that they executed. If a database administrator or application process executes a query on the database, people know exactly what was executed, including all the variables."
"We are very satisfied with this product; it's simple to use, customize and administer, and installation is simple and easy, even on mainframe."
"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."
"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."
"DataSunrise Database Security comes out with new builds every time we have a small issue. This has made the solution not always stable."
"I'd like to see some sort of solution for storage."
"They can maybe look at its pricing model. Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies."
"Design/ease of the learning mode feature."
"It is quite expensive. I would prefer a lower price."
"It can be simplified as it is a little complicated."
"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security could improve the database defense feature called camouflage. This feature was responsible for the data mask but now it does not work well and we need another solution. All our banks have teams that are regarded with care and they need to mask sensitive data in order to provide testing to developers."
"There is room for improvement in the firewall capabilities when it comes to additional features such as Traffic Shaping, Connection Pooling and Load Balancing."
"The product needs to perform better in extremely busy databases; it does not do really well where the DB is extremely, extremely busy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"The product’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"There is an annual licensing fee for upgrading the device."
"I know it's not cheap."
"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security was quite expensive several years ago, but now they provide a subscription plan for licensing. It is available now for smaller and medium-sized companies, not only large enterprises."
"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."
"It is very expensive."
"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."
"Pricing is low and scalable to add features and volume."
