Beneficial data security, good support, and straightforward initial setup
The initial setup of Protegrity Data Security was straightforward. However, we had a few problems, it's not multi-tenanted. It does not have a hierarchy of roles and differential priorities. To have the initial sandbox version of Protegrity Data Security up and running, took approximately one week. However, it needed to be set up in a resilient way because if it fails, then it is going to be a challenge bringing back the lost information. We have to be particular in terms of architecting it correctly which is taking us a bit of time. We are anticipating anywhere between four to six weeks to be finished.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its technical support team is helpful."
"The product is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible."
"The product has been stable and I have never faced any kind of problems with it."
"The parallel load features mean that Greenplum is capable of high-volume data loading in parallel to all of the cluster segments, which is really valuable."
"The solution has really cool features to use. Its management console is excellent. You can utilize plugins to view the performance of the whole service on one network."
"The product is not complex; I do not have to create stored procedures, functions, or views."
"The security is great."
"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."
"Very fast for query processing."
 

Cons

"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."
"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
"The solution's UI could be better."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"Implementing a circuit breaker scenario using RabbitMQ is complicated. This complexity arises because manual intervention is required to manage worker details and handle operations based on worker IP addresses."
"One of the disadvantages, not a disadvantage with the product itself, but overall, is the expertise in the marketplace. It's not easy to find a Greenplum administrator in the market, compared to other products such as Oracle."
"Scalability issues are present."
"RabbitMQ is clearly better supported on Linux than it is on Windows. There are idiosyncrasies in the Windows version that are not there on Linux."
"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."
"The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness."
"There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for a few additional services apart from its licenses."
"are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
"The solution's pricing is cost-effective as it does not involve significant expenses. Licensing is required only for the server, while clients do not need any licensing. Therefore, it proves to be a cost-efficient option."
"The price is pretty good."
"This is an open source solution."
"It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
"Since the tool is an open-source product, there is no need to pay anything."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
