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 solution’s pricing is moderate."
"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."
"The product is stable."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"The solution can scale."
"With VMware Tanzu Greenplum, one can make a huge database table and analyze the queries by adding in the SQL command. Some hint or command for the query goes over the multi-parallel execution."
"Some of the most valuable features are publish and subscribe, fanout, and queues."
"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."
"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."
"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."
"I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols."
 

Cons

"The solution's UI could be better."
"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."
"The initial deployment was a little difficult."
"If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic."
"They should improve on the ability to scale your queues in a very simple and elegant way with the same power that they have would be great."
"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."
"Other tools besides RabbitMQ provide good TPS and HA."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"They need to enhance integration with other Big Data products... to integrate with Big Data platforms, and to open a bi-directional connection between Greenplum and Big Data."
"The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for a few additional services apart from its licenses."
"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
"Since the tool is an open-source product, there is no need to pay anything."
"The price is pretty good."
"It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."
