Role-based security has protected structured workloads but integration still needs improvement
I need to check certain aspects at this point as I do not have comments on price or those options at this moment. Support and service level agreements depend more on your agreement with Oracle and your TAT in terms of the agreement type, which has a certain SLA based on that. The overall review rating for this product is seven out of ten.
Marcelo Raza - PeerSpot reviewer
Cyber Security Architect at Oakmount
A tool that offers a proper view and division of all databases while also allowing users to do continuous monitoring
I have seen that the tool's installation phase has some problems regarding the versions, specifically the version of SQL. Trustwave DbProtect doesn't accept some versions of SQL. Some credentials when you are installing give some problems, but all of them did pass through the installation phase but gave a certain amount of hard work to be done during the installation phase. The aforementioned area needs to be considered for improvement. The pain points with Trustwave DbProtect were about the installation and problems with the different versions not being accepted. A more compatible version of the product with other databases and operating systems should be possible.
