Provides cluster management and has the ability to receive alerts if anyone tries to tamper a database

It would be more efficient if we could manage the consoles of management servers from a single location. Currently, if the management server for our DR environment is separate from the production management server, we have to log in to each server individually. For example, to check the status of production servers integrated with Infowa, I need to log in to the production management server. Similarly, I have to log in to the DR management server to check the status of the DR servers. Connecting both servers and managing them through a single console would make it easier to handle all alerts in one place.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is very simple."

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

"This solution has helped secure our Internet-based services, protecting us against DoS and other types of web-based attacks."

More Imperva SecureSphere Database Security pros

"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."

Cons

"Some cloud versions are not supported by the agent."

"Integration with other databases or third-party products would be useful."

"I have worked with IBM before, and I prefer its ease of deployment and management. Imperva SecureSphere Database Security has tricky deployment, whereas IBM's deployment is straightforward because of the UI."

"The GUI for this solution could use some improvement."

"It is very expensive. Its price can be better."

"Reporting could be improved."

"The platform doesn’t support some newer databases."

"There are specific missing features in the Imperva SecureSphere Database Security that I would like to see included or enhanced."

More Imperva SecureSphere Database Security cons

"The anonymization feature can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of support for this solution is very expensive."

"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."

"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."

"Pricing is low and scalable to add features and volume."

"The pricing is reasonable and competitive."

"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."

"The price of the solution is reasonable and it requires a license."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and it is a good value for the money."
