A disadvantage of Imperva SecureSphere Database Security, particularly relevant for ex-Soviet Union countries where there is Russian influence, is that we don't cover Russian types of databases. We cannot be competitive by price alone, though in terms of quality, Imperva SecureSphere Database Security is the best compared to Russian import products and building products such as Garda, which attempt to copy Imperva's data activity monitoring and database firewall functionality.
Areas of Imperva Data Security have room for improvement. I don't think every solution is perfect, but they need some kind of improvement in the future because if they have to survive in the market, they have to update themselves from time to time. It relates to market stability. It depends on market scenarios, what kind of updates a particular company is looking for, because currently the major challenge companies are facing is AI, and in terms of AI security, they have to update themselves accordingly.

The development mode on the platform needs improvement. For example, the archiving functionalities should be enhanced to allow easy conversion of archived logs into CSV or Excel formats for data analysis. When I need to investigate with archived data, the inability to export to these formats can be limiting. Making this process easier would be beneficial for reviews.
