We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ability to track activity including the SQL statements is definitely valuable. I really like how the database is laid out. It's straightforward. I can query the back-end tables. I've made a few of my own email alerts based on the data and the tables. It's accessible.""The tool can track logins and login failures. I made my own alert so that if there is a certain number of login failures for a server, it emails me. That is really useful. If I want logins to automatically lock out after a certain number of failed attempts, I can know when that happens.""The initial setup was straightforward."

"It has a user-friendly interface. It is a stable and scalable product.""It has a lot of different components that cover the needs of our customers.""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.""The initial setup is very simple.""We use it for database security, vulnerability analysis, discovery, and handling requests from applications and users.""As we are very sensitive to financial impacts, this product provides great protection for our organization.""Ability to send event monitoring and administrative activities.""The most valuable feature is the Data Masking."

Cons
"I submitted a ticket (last year) about archiving/grooming of old records because the GUI functionality was not working. Per their recommendation, I ended up using a command line to do it.""What would really a good thing is if you could refer to an external list or table for filtering on, say, certain applications, IP addresses, or host names; or perhaps even combinations of host name and application name.""Its filtration and navigation are not the best.""There is an agent that collects the data on SQL Server. Sometimes it will stop collecting. I'm not exactly sure what's happening but I have to go in and manually restart the agent. It would be nice if the central collection server could send a request to the agent to restart.""The set up is kind of clunky, in my opinion. It's not really intuitive. If they had either a smoother install or better instructions, that would be nice."

More IDERA SQL Compliance Manager Cons →

"I'd like to see some sort of solution for storage.""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.""It is quite expensive. I would prefer a lower price.""The solution could improve by having more integration.""Overall, it's a very good product but they could do with some modifications log-wise.""Improvements can be made in data enrichment and enhancing the GUI (Graphical User Interface) for a better user experience.""The interface is not user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • More IDERA SQL Compliance Manager Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The cost of support for this solution is very expensive."
  • "Licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and it is a good value for the money."
  • "There is an annual licensing fee for upgrading the device."
  • "Pricing is low and scalable to add features and volume."
  • "The pricing over-all depends on the entry level. For example, if support and maintenance are about $20,000 - $25,000, the initial cost can be five times more. It is less expensive for the company to maintain the client than to make the deployment."
  • "We have all the licenses, which we pay for annually. The price is a little high, but the product is good."
  • "They have introduced new price models, which makes the product more affordable now."
  • "The price is very high but compared to the price of the overall solution, then I think it's a good deal because the solution itself is great."
