Imperva SecureSphere Database Security vs McAfee Vulnerability Manager for Databases [EOL] comparison

"The most valuable feature is the Data Masking."

"The integration with CounterBreach is great."

"The solution is very stable."

"The technical support for Imperva is super, super, super."

"The beauty of it is that it provides segregation of duties. Typically, in the traditional environment, DBAs administer the database, and they have too much access. We are in the process of implementing other Oracle solutions, and it brings some kind of segregation. Just because someone is a DBA does not mean that he or she should have access to all of the data. Some of the data can be masked so that privacy and security are enhanced, especially when it is customer data for an institution like a bank."

"Imperva's most valuable features are ease of use and log correlation. I also like the ability to trace activity from the host machine to the server access, the user details, and the exact query that they executed. If a database administrator or application process executes a query on the database, people know exactly what was executed, including all the variables."

"I like Imperva SecureSphere platform forms. Imperva SecureSphere is the foundation for SecureSphere data, file and web application solutions."

"We use it for database security, vulnerability analysis, discovery, and handling requests from applications and users."

"The feature I have found most valuable is activity monitoring."

"The technical support is good; they are knowledgeable."

"The support is very good. They are very quick to respond when we have issues."

"Once we read the activity logs on the platform, we cannot open them anywhere else as they are stored in a proprietary format."

"The GUI is bad."

"The solution could improve by having more integration."

"Technical support for this solution needs improvement."

"Imperva needs to improve their cloud capabilities."

"I would like to see improvement in the integration part of the tool. This should be an easy process."

"It would be more efficient if we could manage the consoles of management servers from a single location"

"The solution is expensive."

"Technical support could be more responsive."

"The UI needs to be improved."

"In the next feature, I'd like to see more integrations and updates overall, specifically bottom tech."

"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 product is expensive."

"They have introduced new price models, which makes the product more affordable now."

"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security was quite expensive several years ago, but now they provide a subscription plan for licensing. It is available now for smaller and medium-sized companies, not only large enterprises."

"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. The cost of the solution depends on the customer, they have the flex protect licensing which can vary in price."

"It is quite expensive. We wanted it in my former organization, but the price was very high. So, we couldn't purchase it. I moved to a different organization, and this organization has purchased it."

"We have all the licenses, which we pay for annually. The price is a little high, but the product is good."

"It's not expensive compared to other products that are available."
