Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Imperva, Oracle and others in Database Security."The most valuable feature I have found is the performance of client monitoring. The other competitors are unable to do this."
"Good data encryption and data masking features."
"Compliance Quick Start – Quick, GUI, step-by-step guide to automate compliance and give the customer a quick ROI."
"The vulnerability assessment is a valuable feature."
"It provides us regulatory compliance proof and evidence for audit."
"It provides a comprehensive security for databases, both on-prem and on the cloud. Among the advanced features we use automatic backups, DR."
"The possible number of databases and database servers which can be monitored by Guardium is high. For me, this is a differentiator of IBM."
"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."
"This solution delivers the value that it is supposed to deliver."
"The analysis part of this product could be improved. It's a very comprehensive product, so the features it has complement customer requirements. But I would like to see more emphasis on analytics, and it would be great if they added machine learning. They already have analysis insights, but a comprehensive analytical feature that's already incorporated into the solution would be very helpful."
"Sometimes the connectors to the databases need to be manually updated and we have to configure them again, which is something that should be improved."
"Can't be used for a NoSQL database, which is limiting."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface - currently, it takes around two to three months to become comfortable using it."
"There are features like end-to-end and S-TAP mapping, and the ability to install policies for your configuration builder. They're not there, but we'd like to see them in the next version."
"Performance and the ability to use resources could be improved."
"Overall testing and quality need improvement. It is fairly buggy at times, so it feels like it could use additional staff on the product, testing and trying it out."
"Could be more user friendly; deployment is a little complex."
"There are not a lot of templates available to use, so we had to start many things from scratch."
