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.

Pros

"The product is stable."
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities"
"The stability of this solution was very good."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"It's one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop."
"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 solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
 

Cons

"The solution's UI could be better."
"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."

"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"Scalability issues are present."
"The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage."
