Find out in this report how the two Database Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It sends out an immediate alert when there's suspicious activity."
"he solution offers trouble-free access."
"It does not require our involvement to run it. It runs in the background and the people that do the reporting do so. The reports go to the directors who are in charge of the various data areas. It's pretty clean. Clearly there is some setup, but after you get it set up it just goes."
"It provides us regulatory compliance proof and evidence for audit."
"Security policy enforcement of policy-based encryption and centralized encryption key management allows us to maintain data in a secure environment."
"This is a multi-platform solution that consolidates everything and centralizes support for it."
"We use IBM Guardium to support security initiatives and combine policies within the organization."
"The possible number of databases and database servers which can be monitored by Guardium is high. For me, this is a differentiator of IBM."
"The number one feature I found was that the install was really easy, it was quite helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Voltage SecureData Enterprise is the ease of configuration and the group services rest API."
"It was difficult implementing it, configuring it, getting it up and running and in production. However, since then, I believe it has stabilized."
"The price of this solution is quite high for smaller organizations, so they should release a version that is affordable for small and medium-sized businesses."
"IBM should add more database security features to Guardium. They could add user profiling, anomaly detection, and machine learning. IBM has user profiling, but they need to strengthen it. It should make sense for the users. It should remove most of the false positives."
"The backup and recovery is very resource-hungry and requires a huge amount of storage capacity."
"Personally, I would not recommend this product."
"I would like to see AI and machine learning added in the future."
"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."
"The one thing that I would like to see improved, but I don't think it's going to be in the next release, is its reporting capabilities. I think that's been offloaded to another third-party product that I think IBM actually endorses for that."
"For a future release, the interface looks a bit dated and could be improved."
"Micro Focus Voltage SecureData Enterprise can improve the types of encryptions. They are limited by the number of types of encryption and types of masking they are allowing. In the solution that we were using, the illustration interface and the number of capabilities in terms of data masking were limited."
