Find out what your peers are saying about Delphix, Broadcom, DATPROF and others in Data Masking."The product is very stable and flexible. The product masks data throughout the entire structure. It helps us to work in a differential integrity environment. We conducted testing directly on our production environment in the past, but that’s no longer the case. We can now work with actual data in a production-like setting without production data. The shift to non-production data for testing and development has significantly improved our workflow."
"It supports our audit compliance."
"Ability to define reports based on SQL query, especially when you have complex report criteria."
"Our internal audit is keeping an eye out, and making sure that we're in compliance. Having the Guardium solution and its reporting helps us get through that process a lot more quickly and efficiently."
"Audit Process Builder – Workflow generator to enhance audit tasks and compliance workflows."
"We have integrated IBM Guardium with IBM Watson Curator. They access Curator to identify and correlate other actions the user is doing to determine if this is a legitimate action or not."
"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 most valuable feature I have found is the performance of client monitoring. The other competitors are unable to do this."
"The tool helps detect invalid login attempts within a specific time frame."
"We have encountered challenges with different intgrity structures. In my experience, I’ve encountered challenges with implementing business cases. While the product remains stable, translating its use cases can be more complex. This involves both technical and functional considerations."
"I would like to be able to upgrade appliances within major versions without needing to rebuild the appliance."
"Flexibility could be improved."
"More automation, user guides, and tips would make this solution better."
"We have had some issues with patches breaking things unexpectedly in our environments."
"I am struggling getting through to social."
"Initial setup is very complex. Once you start interacting with people's databases, they get very hesitant. Then, the amount of social tasks to socialize the solution ensuring people are comfortable with it became a much heavier lift."
"It was difficult implementing it, configuring it, getting it up and running and in production. However, since then, I believe it has stabilized."
"I have already mentioned to IBM that a primary need is to improve the number of records in the reports above 65,535."
