We performed a comparison between DATPROF and IBM Security Guardium Data Protection based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Data Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of DATPROF Privacy for us is the possibility to mask sensitive test and development data on different kinds of databases. Furthermore, the tool comes with different useful masking functions. It is possible to mask deterministic and it is possible to add your own functions. The tool has an intuitive interface and customer support is fast and efficient."
"Technical support is good. They are friendly and fast."
"I am very impressed with the capabilities of the software."
"Its ease of use is valuable. It's pretty straightforward. With minimal training or with minimal guidance, it can be used."
"We can create synthetic test data for our different development teams without needing production data, which is an excellent capability."
"The data modeling software gave additional insights for debugging in the case of circular foreign keys."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use... We were able to quickly port a JD Edwards application into the DATPROF solution and we were able to scramble the data in that application. It's a single tool that helps us to do that across applications."
"We have some customers who are in both SAP and non-SAP. When we do scrambling for different applications, it is extremely important that DATPROF and the SAP applications talk to each other and synchronize. Otherwise... [an] identity [can be] lost, from a name perspective."
"The platform provides data protection from internal and external threats."
"Database logging and audit functions are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is using the capture operation mode “S-TAP/K-TAP agent”, because all activities in the database are captured, including direct access to the database server by privileged users. This is useful because, even if the database server logs were deleted, the Guardium Collector has already stored such data to enable traceability of access."
"The vulnerability assessment is a valuable feature."
"The front-end works very well."
"We also use IBM Guardium to support security initiatives and compliance policies. For example, our audit area can verify if someone has access to information that they shouldn't have, for their regular job functions."
"Ability to define reports based on SQL query, especially when you have complex report criteria."
"We use IBM Guardium to support security initiatives and combine policies within the organization."
"From what I know, there are some challenges with respect to the number of data formats that can be made available. This is something that can be improved."
"Although it is possible to mask flat files inside DATPROF Privacy, the current solution is solid. However, it can be improved with an improved user interface."
"They could improve the solution by expanding the APIs. If there were options to integrate it with other solutions, that would help."
"The synthetic data-generating element of the tool is relatively new, so we sometimes encounter bugs, though when we inform DATPROF, they act quickly to fix any issues. Of course, the fewer bugs we face, the better."
"Right now, we need to make process agreements with our supplier to keep our source and target database in line with the current production version. This may become an issue when (if) we reach a CI/CD level with multiple releases per day."
"We organized the orchestration via ServiceNow/Runbook. It would be nice if DatProf software had this functionality as well."
"I feel that we have to do a lot of reworking of the template implementations... Maybe it is a limitation, but as a customer, it feels like we need to start from scratch every time. It would help if we could reuse at least some of what we have already done."
"The product could be improved by adding functions to mask flat files and XML data."
"I would like to be able to upgrade appliances within major versions without needing to rebuild the appliance."
"They could enable the out-of-the-box feature to track application user activity."
"The solution could be improved for NoSQL databases."
"Needs easier integration with custom applications."
"It was difficult implementing it, configuring it, getting it up and running and in production. However, since then, I believe it has stabilized."
"It needs an integration with Optum."
"Sometimes the performance is not good, and also sometimes we have sudden bugs causing difficulties."
"I would like to see AI and machine learning added in the future."
