Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Good data encryption and data masking features.""I think IMB's technical support is good.""Has a great Big Data Intelligence feature.""What I like about IBM Guardium Data Protection is that some of its features were deployed by collectors during the installation phase. The solution has collector and aggregator features, license installation, and even server patches that you won't find in other security providers. I like the collector-aggregator capabilities of IBM Guardium Data Protection where you install each component on separate servers, then on the aggregator, you collect all the logs on a central server or central console.""Compliance Quick Start – Quick, GUI, step-by-step guide to automate compliance and give the customer a quick ROI.""Audit Process Builder – Workflow generator to enhance audit tasks and compliance workflows.""Easy to set up data activity monitoring solution that provides competent technical support. Scalable, stable, and has good performance.""It's one of the first to encrypt DB2 databases."

Cons
"We've had some issues recently that we're working through, on the agent software that runs on the databases.""The ability for Central Managers to talk to one another could be improved. I have 26 Central Managers and 26 silos which are independent.""Setup can be complex. The documentation is in so many different locations, and a lot of times we have to leverage support and higher level resources to figure out the right steps to take.""It needs an integration with Optum.""The solution lacks control over database security.""Sometimes the performance is not good, and also sometimes we have sudden bugs causing difficulties.""Can't be used for a NoSQL database, which is limiting.""It would be helpful, and convenient to improve the Chat support."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We haven't talked much about pricing and licencing. But it is not cheap for sure"
  • "I would suggest to review the type of data, need for security, and if the organizational structure needs the options IBM Guardium provides."
  • "​If you are researching this type of solution, work with IBM."
  • "Guardium has not saved us time or money."
  • "The biggest challenge is the cost associated with the product, and the cost of maintaining. Everything is not translated directly to the benefits we see. There are benefits, yes, but if I were writing the check, would I buy Guardium? No."
  • "Guardium won mostly because of our scope and scale. It was able to perform at the scale that we wanted to use it. ​"
  • "The price of Guardium is higher than the main competitor, Imperva. In addition, it's complex as the calculation of the licensing is done by Processor Value Unit (PVU). However, before purchasing a DAP solution, it is important to analyze specific points to evaluate the cost-benefit of each tool. For example: Does the environment to be monitored have mainframes? If so, it's a point for Guardium. If not, a point for Imperva. Note: IBM is looking into a new licensing policy and reducing the price of Guardium."
  • "One of the deployments that I know of had three databases, and the yearly fees are approximately $50,000 USD."
