Saurav P - PeerSpot reviewer
A data governance management solution that helps to restrict sensitive information
We use the product for data governance management. It helps us to create policies and restrict sensitive data.  The tool's most valuable feature is restriction.  Immuta is behind in updating upgrades and software releases.  I have been using the product for the last three years.  Immuta is…
Samuel Adeyemi - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time data monitoring and policy-based activity blocking enhance security and awareness
The development mode on the platform needs improvement. For example, the archiving functionalities should be enhanced to allow easy conversion of archived logs into CSV or Excel formats for data analysis. When I need to investigate with archived data, the inability to export to these formats can be limiting. Making this process easier would be beneficial for reviews.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Instead of manually tagging data, Immuta’s auto-discovery capability identifies sensitive information, such as country labels, gender information, and other personal data."
"The tool's most valuable feature is restriction."
"What I appreciate the most is its user-friendliness."
"All features available are good."
"A solution which does what other name brand products do for a lower cost."
"The discovery module provides good visibility."
"This solution has helped secure our Internet-based services, protecting us against DoS and other types of web-based attacks."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic reports on new databases, which gives us up-to-date inventory management."
"If something malicious occurs, I can set a policy to block it, review the action, and decide whether to release it if it's found not to be malicious."
"The cyber intelligence feature is the most valuable."
"As we are very sensitive to financial impacts, this product provides great protection for our organization."
"It is very effective, and we are using four main features. The first feature is cluster management, which allows me to redirect an agent to another gateway if one goes down."
 

Cons

"We have had some challenges with their support when we were migrating to the cloud version. We we had some issues, and it took us several attempts to get a proper responses as part of that migration."
"There is room for improvement in enhancing the monitoring capabilities."
"The implementation process with Immuta was quite challenging, primarily due to issues related to database handling and the syncing of user groups."
"Immuta is behind in updating upgrades and software releases."
"I would like to see integration such that there is support for different kinds of environments, such as on-premises versus cloud."
"Reporting could be improved."
"Some cloud versions are not supported by the agent."
"It would be more efficient if we could manage the consoles of management servers from a single location"
"The only challenge I see is that SecureSphere is deployed on servers or databases which are held on physical infrastructure. However, there are databases which are hosted on cloud platforms and Imperva has a separate tool altogether for that, not SecureSphere."
"It can be simplified as it is a little complicated."
"There is sometimes lost communication and it can take a lot of troubleshooting to solve."
"Its reporting can be improved. The reporting feature is currently not good enough for our clients."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Immuta's pricing is expensive."
"There is an annual licensing fee for upgrading the device."
"Pricing is low and scalable to add features and volume."
"The product’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies. The British pound is valued way more than the currency of most African countries. A better or cheaper pricing model for Nigerian and African customers would be better. It has a per-year subscription model. You pay exactly for what you need. That's all. You don't have to buy what you don't need."
"The price of the solution is reasonable and it requires a license."
"I know it's not cheap."
"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."
"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."
