Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Imperva, Oracle and others in Database Security."The most valuable features of this solution are the security aspects."
"The dashboard is very simple. It has an easy to use interface."
"The biggest thing, for us lately, has been their cloud tools. They're like Intercept X from Sophos, where they'll test for ransomware. Fortinet has the same sort of set up with their cloud devices. So your firewall picks up something suspicious, it sends it up to the cloud for analysis. We also have their in-house antivirus. Having different antivirus checkpoints throughout the network is a good thing as well."
"We use it to protect files and to prevent users from browsing them while they are being used."
"The solution is very good at preventing intrusions. You can definitely rely on this solution to cover your security."
"It is extremely stable, and can expand as per our needs due to its stability."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The tool happens to be very intelligent when it comes to processing policies and sounding alerts. It allows us to implement policies and measure actions against them, raising alerts accordingly."
"It has a very user-friendly interface that's very detailed."
"The performance of the solution is good."
"Database reporting features are valuable to us."
"The cyber intelligence feature is the most valuable."
"The audit feature is great. It is totally encrypted."
"This is a stable product."
"They need to improve the web filter to make it more user-friendly."
"I'm an old-school guy. I really don't like web GUI interfaces. They're always slow and laggy and their design is restricted, whereas a binary deployment for an admin tool is always faster, easier, more flexible. I would like that kind of functionality from Fortinet."
"I would like better APIs and integration with other products, like Python and SQL."
"Some use case analyses could be improved."
"We had some issues trying to fix some critical bugs, such as the SSL encryption."
"The pricing of this solution is a little bit on the high side and can be improved."
"The solution needs local support."
"There is sometimes lost communication and it can take a lot of troubleshooting to solve."
"It would be better to update the solution by using a GUI that guides me, rather than through a CLI."
"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."
"Imperva needs to improve their cloud capabilities."
"It is quite expensive. I would prefer a lower price."
"Integration with other databases or third-party products would be useful."
"The GUI for this solution could use some improvement."
