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

"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."
"Vera encryption is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"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 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 additional improvement can be done as the issues are encountered."
