Andrew_Kampolo - PeerSpot reviewer
The fine-grained auditing available on the platform makes life easier and helps explain anything happening in your database
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. For example, it will tell you how many rows they were trying to select on which table, and you get the OS information, network details, IPs, and the user. That fine-grained auditing available on the platform makes life easier and helps explain anything happening in your database.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It has a lot of different components that cover the needs of our customers."
"The discovery module provides good visibility."
"A solution which does what other name brand products do for a lower cost."
"The performance of the solution is good."
"They have very good documentation and knowledgebase resources that add to the depth of their support."
"Flexible reporting allows for customization that keeps the admins from having to interact with system automation."
"The product’s most valuable feature is real-time highlights."
More Imperva SecureSphere Database Security pros
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"The GUI is bad."
"Sometimes the reports are cumbersome, and you have to drill down to get more information."
"Its reporting can be improved. The reporting feature is currently not good enough for our clients."
"The solution could improve by having more integration."
"Integration with other databases or third-party products would be useful."
"I'd like to see some sort of solution for storage."
"They can maybe look at its pricing model. Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies."
"Some cloud versions are not supported by the agent."
More Imperva SecureSphere Database Security cons
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very expensive."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and it is a good value for the money."
"Pricing is low and scalable to add features and volume."
"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."
"There is an annual licensing fee for upgrading the device."
